Task 6 (Spanish Educatioal System II). Journalist

HERE IS THE JOURNALIST!!

Hi everybodyyy!! My name is Miriam and this week I'm the Journalist of the BusyBees group!! :)
I have been waiting for this role since we began with this subject, it seems to me that is very interesting to register the photos of the process that we have followed when doing the activities.

During the last two weeks (two because we were on Easter holidays!), we realized a series of questions (concretely four per topic) about the changes in the Spanish educational system that we will include in the game that we will realize the next week in class. We had to take care at the moment of realizing them because they had to be clear and understandable, correctly written and the information clearly summarized. 
In total, we had to do twenty four questions each one in a single card.

According to the work, in class, we divided the six topics: the 1º (an Overview of the Educational System) and the 4º (Organisational Variations and Alternative Structures in Primary Education) topic were made by two people each one, whereas the others topics were distributed among the members of the group:

Due to the fact that we have had Easter holidays, we had several problem to meet because each one of the group were in our villages (far away) and we could not meet physically, so, we chose to meet via Skype to put all the things and questions in common.

On Thursday 9th, when we already had done the summary and the four questions of our topic, we put them in common and we decided what are the best ones and those that need some change. We finished all the details. We worked well and we did our best in spite of the fact that it was difficult for us to decide the day to meet.


On Monday 13th, when the class began, the teacher linda divided our group in two, and we have gone a half with Power Teachers (Yoli, María, Berna and I) and another half with Keep Calm and Keep Organized (Ana, Ainhoa, Gracia and Maria José). We have had to evaluate with Power Teachers all the cards about the topic 1 that all groups have done. Our group has the role of ‘’the Supervisors’’, we had to judge the cards of our classmates of the group Power Teachers (they could not evaluate by themselves), and then, we had to supervise that they judge correctly the other cards, in order to be objectives putting marks.
Firstly, we have established in common the criteria that we have followed in order to evaluate well all the cards. Each one has chosen one group and has read their four questions before putting them jointly.
It has been a good experience to work with other groups in order to enrich each others with our different ideas about how to evaluate correctly. It has been also interesting to work with other people different from our team.


In order to finish to the second part of my role, I have to search and comment two blogs, one from inside our class and other from outside.
Regarding to the blog form inside our class, I have chosen the SevenUp’s one (http://7upgroup.blogspot.com.es/) because for me, it presents the information very clear and I like its organisation and its creativity (I love the pencil as a mouse!). The information is well-structured and they write their post with lot of enthusiasm, so well done SevenUp!



According to the blog from outside the class, I have searched lots of them but the one that attracts my attention was this one: Kathy Griffin’s teaching strategies (http://kathygriffinteach.blogspot.com.es/), She is a teacher that shared activities and lots of things and videos to help children to learn, I love her idea of being a ‘’Singing Teacher’’ and to connect children’s learning experiences with music.




I hope you like my post! See you soon beeeees!!!
