GETTING OUT OF THE CLASSROOM FOR CHALLEGING ACTIVITIES

 


Shared by Marta Hernández:

I like to take my students out of the classroom to do some of the activities they may consider more boring or demanding (usually writing!) I do believe that's one of the best strategies to manage class behaviour as they are always eager to do those things.

Examples of this kind of activities could be the following:

"Describing places" . Our school enjoys beautiful views from the different playgrounds, so we take pencil case, notebook and mobile - to be used as a dictionary- and students sit on the grass or benches and describe the landscape they see.

"How things have changed" (There was-were/ There is-are) Students find in the Internet pictures of what school used to be like and they go outside to write about the changes... (Not many: flags at the front door, car park, bike lot, new bushes.... but enough to practice the grammar bit)
