History of Andalusia (Timeline)

I have prepared a timeline about the History of Andalusia, so our class can work this topic.

Objetives:
- Learn new vocabulary about this topic
- Adquire new concepts and structures
- Appreciate our history
- Respect other cultures
- Know our origins

This activity is very useful because it's very visual and attractive for kids. I have prepared this timeline alone because my pupils are younger and they haven't got enough knowledge of English to complete this activity.
I showed the timeline in the classroom and pupils liked a lot. They enjoyed and asked about many things about it.

I think that this tool it's very useful in L1 until they learn more English. Next time I improve using their interest.

Timetoast helped me to organize better the information, pupils can see the facts in a different way and they can realized that other cultures lived in Andalusia.

Reflect of Reading Habits

Nowdays, people has no time to read as they like. Young people hasn't got reading habits because they prefer watch tv, use social networks or go out.
At school, teachers choose the books they have to read and they usually are so bored that they begin to hate reading instead to love it.
This year, I'm helping to the librarian at my school, and I try to advise about a book and find it depends their interest. Indeed, I tell them if the book don't like them, they must to change and take another. I think that they'll begin to love reading in this way.
PHoto 1 and 4 remember me with my pupils at the library.
We need to feel the stories you are reading and it must be a pleasure not a punishment.
I'm a good reader. I usually read books in Spanish and newspaper or magazines, websites in English. I love reading and I try to read everyday, almost at night, when my children are sleeping. It relaxes me. Photo number 3 remember me when i read, because I'm an e-reader. I use some app when i count the books I read and i have a challenge every year, read at least 25 books!!
I read a lot of kind of books from romantic novels to crime books. Yesterday I finished a thriller one. If somebody needs help, please no doubt to ask me.
