"TO TEACH IS TO TOUCH A LIFE FOREVERñ"

Which is the best idea to decide the TOPIC in this unit?????? yes...ask them!!! If you investigate on their motivations, then you´ve got what they want to learn... At the end of the brainstorm I had to say stop so it is unbelivable the amount of topics they thought. I did this activity in groups of six, so to say in the way they sit down (groups of six children). They negociated their ideas and then they put them together. It was really brilliant.

These are some of the ideas: Now...please, let me think which one I´ll chose...I consider all of them are great and complex at this age...but let me time to think!!!!
 * Planets - Universe.
 * The Weather.
 * Calendar.
 * Means of transport.
 * Jobs.
 * Oceans.
 * Painters
 * Plants.
 * Houses.
 * Games.
 * The body.
 * Sports.
 * Another language.

HERE YOU ARE....some pictures showing "work as a team"



And after thinking....this is my brainstorming and the topic for my UNIT...

My unit: LOOK AT MY HOUSE!!!



I´ve decided to use this way since I get clear ideas. Besides I´ve marked "Build a house and show what you have learned" in a different shape because I consider that one as the FINAL TASK... I hope this may help me!...
