Task #1

Task #1
Affective language learning is a way students learn with “love and care”. It’s a way they learn and we teach with emotions, with feelings, with values. We teach the grammar, the vocabulary and the structures but they are considered on a second basis. I believe it is what new people call “Pedagogy 3000”.
After watching the video, I realize that I do some of the ideas mentioned and I still need to change some others, especially the connection with parents as I never get to see them because the time they go to school it is not the same time I go.
I enjoyed watching the video as it reflects how we can change a whole day of teaching, how we can change a whole life with just a simple action.
Thanks for the video, Juan Uribe

    Hi Maria! 
    The combination of affective postures makes a huge difference in the learning experience of the students and the teacher. 

    I mentioned the self-esteem definition of Dorothy Briggs which is feeling loved and able. You mentioned the first part in your answer. What are ways in your opinion that students can feel able in your class? 

    I will do some research about Pedagogy 3000 and bring the results to the group. 

    Hugs from Brazil!

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.

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...
