How to integrate macro-linguistic skills (Rita Aldorino)

Ms Aldorino gave us a very nice poem by Frost Robert and she asked us to see which skill or skills we could develop through the strategy we choose to teach this poem or any other text.

Developing integrated skills

- listening, reading, speaking and writing

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (Frost, Robert)

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

We worked in groups and we thought that we could use this poem to teach voiced and voiceless dental sounds by exaggerating these sounds when reading the poem. In this way we could develop the listening skill.

Tell me and I will forget,
Show me and I might remember,
Involve me and I will understand!

The Joy of Motivation

It was a very nice experience to listen to Mascha and Franny!!! They are from Holland and they showed us some physical activities to work with students with different disabilities like…

-Autism

-Down-syndrome

-ADHD-hyperactivity

-Deafness

I enjoyed this 1^st Jornadas in Perico and I really learnt some interesting new tools, but the one I liked most was the one Paula Gelman from Winton International showed us. I think this is a very new tool to use in our lessons and if we have the chance to work with this in the school we work as I have we should do it.

Thank you all!!!
