Lesson 1


                       PRESENT PROGRESSIVE

I chose this topic because students have to describe  ideas or expresions according to the actions which are happening at the same moment.
All this activities will be apply for the students from ten to eleven years old. These activities are focused  to develop four skill such as reading, writing, listening and speaking. All those skills are important for the best understanding and comprehension. Therefore, teachers have to search for very punctual activities to get  and enhence students production in the class.
However,  teachers  need to know alot about web sources to interact with multi media, and for this reason this course had been very escential to learn some methods to adecuate in our future english classes.
Finally, ITC has been the most important knowledge for teachers because technology is the best tool to keep estudents active and they enjoyed practicing and learning  english and new web knowledge.
AIM: 

The porpuse for this class is try students can describe the activities that ther are doing in this moment.


WARM - UP:

First of all, Teacher  has to motivate student in an English class to avoid the class  is boring, so teacher has to movitate with funny and active games, but specially with songs.
The video shows the teacher and students interaction.





VOCABULARY:


Vocabulary is more than a list of words, and although the size of one’s vocabulary
matters, it’s knowing how to use it which matters most.The best comparison
is to an artist’s palette of colours which can be mixed and applied to create
powerful effects.
