Teaching by stations

DESCRIPTION

During this workshop English teachers will be able to practice this simple approach to grammar in order to achieve the necessary English structure teaching to our students. Teaching by Stations is generally used when there are more than two teachers in a classroom. Nevertheless, that is not the case in the majority of the Bi-National Centers. To achieve a multi-teacher instruction given by a single educator is the purpose of this presentation. The development of this approach was a result of various trial and error procedures that ended up in a multi skilled way to what I like to call the fun shortcut to grammar.

How the brain works?

Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina

"If you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you probably would design something like a classroom. "

After the rotation :Collect the papers and place them on

the board.Tell students to grab their notebooks

and select an outfit for each place.Students must then write complete

affirmative sentences using subject, verb, object, place and time.

An extension activity :
