4 magic teachers presentation (Laura Sanz)

I liked the idea that children have a portfolio and they work on it every day. They have the opportunity to reflect every day during the didactic sequence. It is like a diary, they can write “whatever” they want, they can be creative and can compare their portfolio with other classmates. But I think, if it is not motivated by the teacher, it could be boring. Motivation is so important.

Another point I want to mark is the idea that each student has activities according to their level. And they work by basic teams, so they can help each other. Every student need to do an effort to resolve the activities.

This group also used the peer tutoring technique, I like this technique. It consists on feeling as a teacher. Half of the class works some activities with the teacher and they explain these activities to the rest of the class. And another day the roles change, not only the most intelligence students can feel as teachers but every student, because all of them are important. And feel as a teacher is a good experience that all need to fell.

I think one of their objectives is really fantastic, with this didactic sequence they want that students grow as people. Sometimes the teachers´ objectives are focus on the content and they forget the real and the most important one. We, as future teachers, cannot forget it!
