New topics

This week now we started working on new topics. The toppic is to build sentences starting with one object simple sentences like (The table is brown, the houseis big) and so on. Here what I´m looking for is to make students recognize names of objects by writing, listening and saying them. The first acivity is that I write on thge whiteboard names of objects and I give one card to every student, so they go to the whiteboard and stick the picture. Then we say the names of the objects and we check pronunciation. After that they have to say one sentence using the same structure that I mentioned before. When we finish sayng sentences, then they go to the whiteboard and write one sentence to remember writing. 

This is just one of the activites, but the last ome of the class is that the take out their noteboook and I have to dictate some sentences to check writing. SS think that if they just do that kind of activites they are not working or they are doing nothing, so I try to explain that learning english is not just to write over and over they need to practice speaking, too.
