Helping as a good Helper

Hi bloggers!

The end is near but we continue with all of you :)

I am María and this week my role is "Helper".

This week I have contributed on the recording of our video about the Coexistence Plan. Really, almost all of us have participated on the recording of the video.

I have to say that it has been a very good week, we have worked very coordinate and well so we have not got any problems at all.

It has been very fun and not so difficult and we have learned the Coexistence Plan, I mean the part of the current Law that is focus to it, and many things related to it, as for example that each School has to elaborate its own one and that the goverment only gives indications to follow.

It has been so good.

See you next week!!

I hope you like our video as much as to us.

THE TRANSLATOR IS HERE AGAIN!

Hello everybody!

My name is Carmen Carpena, a member of the group 'The PowerPuff Teachers', and this week I am the... TRANSLATOR!

This week the work has been funnier than other weeks because we have had to do a video in which we had to show a problem in a school proposed by other group. In our case, is the group 'Power Teachers' who have proposed our conflict.

The words I have chosen to explain in this week are:

COEXISTENCE PLAN: Is a document related to the education field. Each centre have one and it consist in:

- Obtain a good atmosphere in the school.
- How to act in situation in which students do not behave in the way they have to.
- How to act if we are noticing a case of bullying.

VIDEO DOCUMENTARY: It is a way to explain a problem or to tell a story in a funny way using images, music and technologies. It can be said this is a way of enterteinment due to the animation and the movement of the video.

SEXUAL ABUSE: It is a non-consensual sexual contact. This can happen to women and to men, depending on the case in which we are. To do this abuse, the offender can use objects, toys, pills, drugs, etc to cause pain or humillation to the victim.

PROTOCOL: It is a document which contains a group of rules and procedures to follow in all the situations that can happen in public or private centres, in this case in schools.

OUTTAKE: It is a scene which is not planned to be showed in the video or film. They are the scenes in which the actors commit mistakes and they are not validate to show in the screen.

I hope you enjoy the post and the blog and find them useful! Thank you!

Lucia as a Star.

Hi guys!
This time I become again the star of our group. This week we us have to deal a conflictive issue in a center proposed by one group of our class. The issue was the sexual abuse of girls by a physical education teacher. As Star I had to appear in the video as a journalist. We have explained the subject recording different views of the tutor, the headtress, the neighboring and some mothers, all represented by my colleagues. To establish the solution or the measures figuring out to solve the problem we had to look for a coexistent plan of a school, also we found the solution in the current law, because in the coexistent plan only it found the measures to be taken when sexual abuse is made from student to student, while the law is in every possible way.

On Monday when we arrived to class we saw videos of all our partners and we have to value them, highlighting the three things we most liked and one thing we've been missing.

As a star I found this activity very funny, as we have learned about the coexistent plan an entertaining and fun way to make a video documentary.

Here you have the video so you can see our work:

Thank you one more time for your attention and see you son guys.

A facilitator once again

Hello bloggers, here again Ana as a facilitator.

This week has been a little bit surprising and stressful for all of us. We thought that the game was going to be the last activity as we are almost finishing but it was not, so on Monday after giving prices (if you were asking yourself, no, we did not get any price) we started with a new and awesome activity.

In this activity we had to invent a problem that could happen in a school and we changed the problems with the other groups. Once we have changed, with the problem we had received we had to think a solution and record a video in which we had to seem to be in the news.

So after this, on Monday we start looking for information (all of us in our houses) and we found the “solution” that real schools could have. After this, we put all this information in common and we think on a definitive solution. Now it was the moment to record us.

We had lot of problems (as every week) because all of us have very different timetables and while some of us have to be at the official school, others have classes or whatever, so it is always very difficult and stressful to find a good solution. After lots of whatsapp messages we found a definitive solution in which all of us could stay at least one hour in order to help a little bit.

So, now we were on Wednesday and we have lunch all together, so at four o’clock we could start recording our star. All of us appear in the video, so it was very funny seeing ourselves just laughing hours and hours, but the final video was pretty good.

On Thursday we tried to mix all the small videos but the girl who had it was ill, so she said that she could do it at home, what we did was to subtitle all the video in terms to help her.

I think, apart from all the problems we had to found a day to record the video, we did a really good job and all of us worked a lot in different things. I personally believed that we are learning to work in groups.

Star post 2

Hello Bloggers,

I am Ana and  this week I had a VERY, VERY important role, I had to be the star in the game Snake and ladders.

We had one entire week to prepare the game and so did Inma (who was the star in that moment). Me and Maria were been prepared what was really demanding because we had lots of works as we are on the end of the semester. When everything was almost ready we had really bad luck when Maria told us that she was not able to come on Monday due to medical problems. Julia was selected to be the star, so she had lot of work for the weekend.

We have to thanks our sponsorship (the rest of the group) all the costumes (they were dressed up as the PowerPuffGirls) and the encouragement, because on the game day we were really nervous.
We had to start the game (in my opinon this was the worst part) we were so nervous that Julia and me got completly in blank that means loose our time.

Everybody knows that in these type of games apart of knowing the correct answer you also have to be lucky, and personally I think we were not lucky at all, because when we started to answering the questions correct we loose our turn (we fall in a snake).

This is the summary of these important weeks, maybe we have not win but we have learned a lot and we had the opportunity to play a new game that could be used with our students.

Last but not least I would like to congratulate (in special) to Power Teachers and Keep Calm & Keep Organised because they performed really good and without nervous. Enjoy your price!!!

Star Post

This week have been different than the others. We didn't have to make an exposition or a slideshow or whatever.

This week we played snakes and ladders. You may think: What is that?
Snakes and ladders is game were several players are on a board, and they have to answer correctly all the questions they are asked, but it is not only that, on the board there are some ladders that help you go up if you get the exactly number, but also there are some snakes that make you go down ans lose your turn. This is how the board looks like:

You can say: why are you doing that in class?
But it is not that simple, what we use as questions were the ones we have done before withe the mindmaps, so we had to study all of them.

As an estrategy, if you can call it that, we chose the stars as soon as posible so they have all the time they need. We made them the mindmas by hand and highlighted were they can find the questions, so it is easier for them. And also our coach Inma, help them to study.

But we had some problems with one of the stars, she had a very important medical date, so she couldn't cancel it, so we chose another star (me: Julia). It was very difficult because it was wednesday, and there was no time so I had to study all the mindmaps as fast as I could. I didn't want that all the pressure off for Ana, so I did as I could.

Monday came, and the game started. We were the first and we were very nervous (at least me), and we answered wrong. The other groups were very well-prepared, and got a lot of answers good, but correct answers is not only what you need, you need luck, and we didn't have any. At the end of the three hours of endless game, we were the last ones, on the 7. But we had a bit of light because, we were going to continue the game on thursday, so we had time to study it again.

On thursday, we were less nervous, and we acepted that we were not going to win, but we wanted to do our best though. When it was our turn, we did it very well, we were around 20, when I threw th dice ande went to 23, where is a snake that take you to 6. Not only we were the last ones again, we were in a worse position. I think it was very awful, but it was funny as well.

Though they were very close, and everybody thought that the winners were going to be Keep Calm & Keep Organized, the winners were Power Teachers.

I am very happy for them. Congratulations Power Teachers!

My best regards, Julia.

(Sorry I didn't put photos, I couldn't find them)

CURATOR - FARMER POST

Hi there!

I'm Mari Carmen.I'm here once again, but this time as my first role: Curator - farmer

This week was kind of special because we employed time on studying instead of meeting on evenings to make a project to show on monday to our class. Well, somehow it might be similar, on monday we must display the knowledge we have been working on (about lomce's game) during this two last weeks.

Since we keep working on the new law of Education our main reference source has been the LOMCE. Looking for the complete version you can come accross with quite interesting recompositiongs. It was really useful and clear ANPE's picked up pieces text, because the new parts are in red and those part previously setted are in blue.

SHINE BRIGHT AGAIN LIKE A STAR

 

Hello everybody! I am the star again this week because is our´s turn to repeat the same roles as we did before. Well, we have to try to do them better and to improve our mistakes.

Comparing the twice I have been star, they have been really different so I have experimented two different experiences. The first one was a bit stressful because it was the first time we faced this new subject and I had to do a long speech doing it for nine times so it was really exhausting. However, this week has been more relaxing to me because I have been the trainer of the next stars which means that I have to prepare them the best I can in order to do their best in the play which will take place the next week.

For training them, we have written all the mind maps by hand because all the questions are based on them underlining the most important aspects in order to be clear about them. Moreover, we write the questions that are not clear enough or they have a very specific situation apart in order to comment them and to try to understand them in another way.

We are proud of our stars and the effort they are making for the game! We hope we have good luck for next Monday! See you next week!

Analyst!

Hi bloggers! I am María and my role this week is Analyst, as the first week of this subject.

The previous one was more difficult for me personally speaking, due to it was the first time I evaluate others and even more, myself.

Indeed, the work of this week is quite different from the previous weeks due to we are all, preparing questions, answers, and everything to be able next Monday to play the game. In which two of us will play against the other groups, and the winner, will get extra points.

On Thursday our group plus the half of  Itschool, decided which 10 questions of all about topic 6 were the better to play with in the play.

This week every member of the Power Puff Teachers, was active,  taking part on selection of the better questions for the play.  Even I have to say that I am very proud of  us due to we are the winners of the last contest!!! (*.*).

I have to say that is so weird, not having work from SOYER; I mean, not having to meet the whole group to work in a concrete task at home, but as it is said, everybody can get used to good life, and the good things finish soon.

So, have as minimum the same happy week as us and see you soon :)
