PSTDP in my class - Auction

          In April 28th 2012 our facilitator, Allyne and Scott, made an activity with us called Auction. And it was a real Auction - with fake money, it's true! - where we should buy sentences about the contents we ha studied till now. Some of them were true or false and if it was false we should correct them. The goal of this activity was measure if we were really knowing the subject we saw in classes and review the content.

            So I adapted this Auction for my classrooms. Take a look.

I have to improvise and create myself material for using with students. I cut small rectangles in 'wood paper' (I don't if it is this way we say 'papel madeira' in English) for making the banknotes and put them divided in covers.

I divided the classroom in small groups.

 

In the same paper I did the banknotes I wrote sentences about the content the 7th Reality was studying. 

They copied the sentences in their notebooks because they should judge them as True or False and correct that whose were wrong.

I give the 'money' to the monitor and s/he should divide it with others.

 

 

So we started the Auction!!!

 

Worried about how much they should pay...

Once...

 

Twice...

Three times... SOLD! 

It was funny!

PSTDP in my classrooms #1 - Experts

·         Using the activity learned on this week…

This weekend in the beginning of our PSTDP class our instructors, Allyne and Scott, used an activity where they choose some volunteers. These volunteers should sit down in three chairs and in the moment they sat they will be experts in some subject. These “experts” should answer any question classmates wanted make about the content, but the difference it was that they just could speak just one word.

I’ve adapted this activity in my English Language Class in 1^st class of high school with the content they are studying: Simple Present Tense.

We used the same layout but just for check how they’ve learned the subject. I should make question about the content and answer but in Portuguese because they don’t have yet fluency enough for speaking just in English.
