We are bigger together, English and collaborative classroom projects with 2nd-grade students in Hogar Madre de Dios School

Abstract

This is a report about our Professional Practice called “We are Bigger Together, English and Collaborative Classroom Projects” developed in Hogar Madre de Dios school with the second grade (A and B) students. In this report you will find some specific aspects about our experience. The first section presents the Context, there we describe where we developed the activities and the main characteristics around our students, to know the context allowed us to plan and interpret everything that happened in the experience. Then we continued with the Justification and Objectives, those sections present the relevance of the Practice and the main goals related to communicative skills in English and Pedagogical Classroom Projects in the line of collaborative strategies. The report continues with Conceptual references that gave us a bases and some ideas to design, develop and evaluate the interaction that we had in the classrooms; then we present the Experience, Strategies and action, there we summarize all the activities that we proposed and are part of our interaction in the classroom. Finally, we expose a Pedagogical reflection about the whole process, there we analyze the complete practice, our performance and learning as pre-service teachers, and the learning that our students achieved. We proposed a booklet that compiles some of the relevant activities in order to invite other teachers to explore different ways to work in class.
