-Session 1
Students seem really
interested by the story of Mary and they are really happy because they are
going to use the laptops to create a story. There wasn’t any problem when they
joined in groups
-Session 2
Although they were
more interested in the clothes they had to bring, they finished the story. They
use the past simple correctly but I had to help them with the vocabulary
-Session 3
To take the pics,
they use a camera I brought. This day the class was a mess because they went in
and out in order to dress up. I was really surprised because they had prepared
their characters very good.
-Session 4
The session was a
success and they enjoyed telling the stories to the rest of the class. The
problem under my point of view was that they forgot about Mary but the result
was perfect and they encouraged with the activity.
