FIFTH LESSON

In this fifth lesson we started the class seeing some images about two books. The first one was a booklet about water that was good because it had lots of content and with an appropriate language whereas the second one was really good because the images were really nice and the content too but in this case the language was too difficult. With that we could see that it’s important to adapt also the books we choose and think what the best is for our pupils.

After that we started talking about assessment, it was the first time in “la menció” that we talked about that and I think that is something also really important to talk about because we will face with that in our future as teachers and it’s not an easy issue. First of all, we were given some questions in groups that we had to answer and after that we debated with the whole class. After that, we saw a PowerPoint about the difference between assessment and evaluation, the first one involves only the teacher and the second one involves also the children, and also the difference between formal testing or portfolios, in the first one is the typical evaluation that we saw when we were kids and the second one involves also de children who chooses what he or she wants to do.

Finally, we saw more examples of activities so we could see what was good from them and what not.
