MY REFLECTIONS• Today was the first day I teached english to my pupils. I usually teach

catalan, spanish, maths and natural and social studies. They accepted the activity with motivation and they loved talking about their parents jobs.

• The timing was not real because we needed more time than I planned.• Some of the pupils couldn’t bring any picture of their parents job but we

could find some other pictures on the net.• They enjoyed with the song and after that we started the writing time to

make the sentences using the structure of the song. They needed some help with the difficult names of the different jobs like leather worker or draftsman.

• They had good digital competence and they created every slide on their own including the sentences and the pictures.

• WE SPEND A WONDERFUL TIME LEARNING ENGLISH TOGETHER!
