USING MINDMAPS IN CLASS

 

According to one of the previous didactic unit about weather I have planned, I consider essential to create a mindmap. In this way, will be able to structure in their minds the main concepts of the unit. 

The application I have selected to create the mindmap is Creately. From my point of view, it is very easy to add different kinds of lines, squares and circles to write important concepts. Moreover you can decorate them with different colours. It seem to be a basic thing but, in other apps I have tried, I had to pay for it. An other thing I consider essential of this page is that I can attach as many images from my computer.

Healthy food that has been substituted by fast food. Male supremacy which is being switched into gender equality.  In the video, a couple from the present travel in time to 1256 thanks to an awesome dream.

FAVOURITE P.E. GAMES

Physical Education lessons start with a warm up. After that, it´s very important to engage your students to your class with challenging games. Here, you can find some of the games I have played with them. I'm sure that they will be very profitable for all of you.      - Tic Tac Toe: It´s known as "3 en raya" in Spain. The gruop is divided into 2 teams. They have to pick up the t-shirts from the floor and place them in the correct hoop in order to have three of the same color in a row.      - Spiders: Four students will be selected. They will have to move as spiders do, trying to catch other students. If one mate is taught by other one spider, both will have to catch the rest of students. The last student that is taught by a spider will be the winner.
