WEEK 5: October 20th- 23rd

 This week, we continued with the student presentations. On October 21st, there were several expositions, and the teacher explained how to design a Didactic Unit. We talked about its structure, objectives, and how to connect activities with learning outcomes.

On October 22nd, I did my own presentation about Basic Language Classroom Routines and Classroom Management and also shared my “About Me” activity. My classmates brought very creative materials and prepared interesting and interactive activities.

On October 23rd, we watched two more presentations that included jazz chants, storytelling, a supermarket role-play, and geometry activities.

I learned how to plan and organize a Didactic Unit, which includes setting clear objectives, choosing appropriate methods, and creating activities that match the students’ level. I also learned new ideas for classroom routines and management, and how creative strategies like songs, games, and role-plays can improve motivation and participation.

My opinion:

This week was very enriching because I could present my own topic and also learn about didactic planning. At first, I was a bit nervous during my presentation, but then I felt proud of my work. The other groups’ presentations were inspiring and full of creativity, and I realized how important it is to make lessons engaging for students.
