LEARNING MISSION 2

HELLO! Yesterday, you have been able to read my previous post where I have transformed a flat activity into a superlearning activity. In this post, it’s time to follow with the transformations to achieve a better understanding on kids. This activity is based in the Open Educational Project (OEP). I think that my learning mission fits in the blog that I would like to collaborate with, Tertulias con sabor a chocolate. 

The students continue working with the clothes and how they can order the adjectives when they are talking about clothes and their characteristics. 

Furthermore, with this activity the students will develop the following key competences: 

• Learning to learn competence
• Digital competence
• Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship
• Communication in foreign language 
• Autonomy 

First of all, I create a poster that I will put on the class to explain to the student what they have to do and what goals they have to achieve doing this activity.

GOALS

• To know the clothing names. 
• Create a fashion catalogue. 
• To search on the Internet to find different kind of clothes. 
• Be critical with the information found. 
• Plan the process. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Organize your ideas. If you want to do a women's catalogue, men's catalogue. both of them
• Choose a digital tool to create your catalogue. (Emaze, Canva, Smore...) 
• Search on the Internet to found online shops (Stradivarius, Zara...) 
• Create your Fashion Catalogue. 
• Describe under each photograph the kind of clothes. Be specific. 
• Present in front of the class your catalogue.

Now, here you have the sample digital artefact that the children have to achieve. We can show them it, to make easier their understanding of the activity. Also, we can start to create another one with them in class to explain how the digital tool works.

I’ve never used the tool Emaze, and it has been a great discover because now, I have discovered a new tool to create presentations to the university or for using in the future with my students. 

Now, it's time to explain the final activity, where we will use the Wool Group Dynamic again, as you have read in my last post. I would like to remember that this activity will be done as a group dynamic because it's one of the activities that the blog that I would like to collaborate use, and this blog is Tertulias con sabor a chocolate as I said in the beggining of this post.

This time we will show to the students and stick in the classroom's wall this poster made with Canva.

We will explain to them that this will be the second wool group dynamic where they will have to bring photographs of the clothes that they will add to their Fashion Catalogues. And the dynamic will be the same as in the previous post but, with the difference that, this time, they will have to present their photographs at the same time that they are talking to their classmates about their catalogues. When the student who has the skein of wool throw this one to another student, this one will have to choose their favourite piece of clothes from the previous student. When he/she finish talking about his/her favourite piece of clothes, they will explain his/her Fashion Catalogue. They will repeat this until all of the students have presented their works. 

Thanks to these two-last post, I have had the opportunity to think a lot about how you can transform flat activities into more interesting activities for the students.

Thank you for reading my post.

SEE YOU SOON!
