Reflection of reading/writing -week 10-

During the week 10, I had to work in two of the four skills which are reading and listening. Also I had to check some page according to some activities. I learned a lot since I could notice that there are some pages that we can give to students to enhance their grammar, reading and listening.

At the other hand I feel happy since I could notice there different ways to work in a classroom or I can teach to students with different pages. AS I said during whis week, reading and writing are not easy for students. that is why we, as teachers, have to work in these skills. in this way students can improve them and have a facilitate to communicate with people who speak English.

task-week 10-

THa page that I worked during this week was  in Adult Learning Activities which is for beginners. ITs urk is http://legacy.lclark.edu/~krauss/toppicks/reading.html and it is useful for students who had started to learn English since it ahs many activities which students can improve their reading and their writing: I think this page would work for students since, as I said before. It helps them to work in their readin and writing. This page also has some vocabulary activities which students could learn new vocabulary and grammar.
Concluding about this page,  IT is really usefuk if beginners want to prtactice what they have learned so far or if they want to improve any of the four skills. I recommend this page since other students of different level can work on it.

Websites to Explore

during this week we had to work Aural skills. These skills are focused on Listening and Speaking, as we know each of them is related to the other one. For example, when we practice listening, we also practice the Speaking skill. 

We also had to workk in a website.Although it was difficult to choose one, I found this one interesting since the activity is dinamic. its link is http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/pron/. I really recommend this page since it has many activities where students can improve their English. An advantage of these activities is that they can be done for any level of english, specially beginners.

I would like to conclude mentioning that I felt a little tired since I work in different websites and I have homework from another subjects. However, at the end of the week I felt exciting because I learned a lot again. Now, I´m just waiting for the next topic.

EDITING MY DELICIOUS

In this week, I had to edit my delicious, change the image and create some stacks with their own links.

While I was creating those stacks, I faced a problem which was that I didnt know how to tag each page.So, I got upset because I didn´t know how to do it. Then, I tried many times to tag each page until I did it!. 

After I finished editing, I started to explore some interesting links and saved them in my profile. Let me tell you that at the beginning I was angry due to I have no idea what I was doing. So, I calmed down and I started reading some articles. After read them, I saved them in my delicious. At the end of my first time in delicious, I got happy because now, I have a page where I can save and share links that I will need such as in my career as in a future, as a teacher.

 I recommend this page (delicious) since it is useful to those people who forget links, and maybe they will need them later. This page is useful for academic purposes since we can save any topic in it.

I would like to conclude mentioning that it depends on each person, how they are going to use it since some people may think that this kind of pages are useful, but for me it is an important tool which we can use in a classroom or in our life.

Bookmarking

  During this week, we had to read informations about bookmarkings specially delicious.com.

I have learned a lot about that. First of all,  let me tell you that I didn´t know about these kind of pages.

After  that Miss lety give us the links I started to read and on  I got interested in it. I created my delicious which is http://www.delicious.com/renewhite. I started to explore this website with my delicious adding some information and reading them.

I would like to conclude mentioning that I will keep using this link since it will be helpful for me such as in my career as an English Teacher.

Now, according to the last article " An Open Letter From Undocumented Students". I studied as an Undocumented Student. As one of them I know that is very difficult to study because they face many problems each day, not only at the school but in their house.

That is a beautiful article and thank you   a lot Miss lety for have sent us that link
