SNOWHITE
First of all,
we thought to represent the story of three little pigs. Why? Because can be a
good story to play and have fun with the children because of the customs of the
pigs and the different houses.
Then, we had
to change it because another group chooses the same topic, so we decided to
choose SNOWHITE. And why? Because we thought is a typical activity that all the
students know it.
HOW TO PREPARE
IT?
1. To think about the different activities that we can do
with the children in order to have a good scaffolding.
2. To choose who represent the different characters.
3. To buy the materials.
4. To prepare the customs and all the activities.
5. To meet all together to practice it.
6. And…We are prepared to represent it!
WHAT ABOUT THE
ACTIVITIES?
Pre-knowledge
activity
In the first
activity we introduce our characters. How? Through questions like:
·
Who am I?
·
Am good or bad?
·
Do you know how I do?
Storytelling
and puzzle
After the
warmer activity, we read a short story of Snowhite in which the students have
to imitate the gestures and movements that we do. This activity is a way to
understand better the vocabulary of the story because some words can be
difficult for them.
Another
activity was the puzzle. Here, we needed some volunteers so we asked: Any
volunteer? And in the most of the cases they replayed yes. If ever there was
not volunteers we chose the children so that all were involved. This activity
consist on organize the different pieces of the puzzle in the correct order. If
the children put in the correct order it means that they understand the story,
if they don’t we try to explain with simple words.
Quiz time
We organize
the class into two groups (group A and group B). Then, we asked questions about
the story as:
·
What is the fruit that Snowhite eat?
a. Orange
b. Apple
c. Pineapple
·
Where do Snowhite live?
a. In a castle.
b. In a school.
c. In a hospital.
·
Who are the friends of Snowhite?
a. The prince
b. The witch
c. The 7 dwarfs
·
The color of the prince’s horse is…:
a. White.
b. Blue.
c. Black.
After the
quiz, the group who had more correct answers got a little present that is an
apple. But all the children have participated deserve a prize so we gave them a
bookmark with the different dwarfs on it.
What do you
think about the activities? Do you like it? Can we improve anything?
And here you
have something related with our story…
The modern
Snowhite!!

Hi Inma!
ResponderEliminarI like the topic that you and your group have chosen to represent. You have to think that if you cannot improve the other topic is for something, so... it does not matter!
As your put on your post, before to start anything all of us have to prepare and organize the first ideas that start to come to our minds. It is a point very important to take into account.
I like the pre-knowledge activity because the students can express all the information that they know about the topic and you can play with their knowledge at the moment to start the activities.
My favourite activity is the quiz caused by the questions, you can see if children know and understand the topic. Other thing is related to the competition, this is something that motivate the students to act quickly at the moment to answer.
Finally, I want to say to your team and you that I like so much your bookmarks and it is a good tool to motivate the students to read.
Congrats my friend.
=)
and about the song? :O It is amazinng jijiji
ResponderEliminarHi Inma!
ResponderEliminarFirst of all I want to tell you that I have chosen your post because I couldn´t see your workshop but I could taste your apples :P
I really like the way you have explained the steps that your team followed to create the activity, because as Cristina said the most important thing is the organization of the work in which we have to take into account a lot of things, for example the age of our students, their cognitive level, the time, the space...
Moreover I like your first activity in which you tell the story of Snow White with gestures as we did with Raquel with our stories, because In my opinion is very important to involve children in Literature do it dynamic for them.
For sure the children whose went to your workshop had a good time with all of you.
Finally, I want to say something about the song... Inma, this song is typical of you!!!!
Congratulations for your work.
