Task #1

Task #1
Affective teaching according to me is having a class full with patience, love, relazing atmosphere and enjoyment. When the students know they are loved and respected then they are motivated to learn. Teacher's body language is very important, smiles and eye contacts play important role in the affective teaching. Show students you care about them, show respect and love. Motivate them and they will enjoy the language learning.
The video is awesome! All the points mentioned are important aspects in the language teaching. I write kind notes to my sts , we take photos, and I always tell them when I enter the classroom that I am so happy to see them!
Positive learning atmosphere leads to happy and motivated students!

    Hi Renata! You bring great points in your assignment. Being excited and caring about our students makes them feel welcome and open to receiving the language. 

    One point to remember is to work on their connection with language by giving them the language they need to express themselves and having engaging and exciting activities in which they can play with the language. We will have many of these in our session this Sunday. 

    I am sure your students feel that you care!

TASK 2: Getting ready for storytelling.

TASK 2: Getting ready for storytelling. I have a group of 12 kids ranging from 7 to 8 years old. They are already familiarized with the characters of the book (Tina the tortoise, monkey, own, duck and rabbit). The leading character is Tina the tortoise. This is a pre-teaching activity and I bring realia objects to the classroom like: football, a coat, socks, a cap and a mug. I ask kids where Tina is: where is Tina? ( I act like I'm looking for her..) Oh look! Tina is in her shell! Tina come out and play! ( sound of a negative answer) Help me kids! Repeat: Tina come out and play! ( sound of a negative answer again). Let's try again but louder! Tina, come out and play! Tina answers: No, no! It's cold outside! I say: Tina let's swim! ( I make the gesture) Tina answers: no, no! It' cold outside! I let children have ideas showing the objects inside the box! Let's play football! Children keep trying to convince her (Put on a coat! Put on a cap! Put on your socks!). A...

Week Four: Discussion Task #2 Finding the right audience and making writing meaningful Having earned some experience with the writing classes I am in a good position to recommend a proven strategy for the meaningful writing, which includes affective elements. The below step-by-step guide reflects one of the strategies I used successfully with elementary school students. I. Introducing Strategy 1. Introduction of a writing strategy (storytelling thru sequencing, describing, introducing people, 5 Ws or any other) that structures and unifies writing process as well as familiarize students to critical thinking. II. Reading Stage 2. Vocabulary and pre-reading activities with flash cards that help learners expanding the background and reinforce them how to use new words in the passage. To deal with grammar the language garden tasks were employed sometimes. 3. Exemplary passage with engaging reading topic that serves as a basis for the subsequent discussion topics. Introduced with fun, illust...
