Halloween brought us the idea of sewing some monsters from our socks. Why not?
We needed sooo much concentration and focus! However, the task was our goal and each one of us decided to design a different monster.
With this activity we learned some new vocabulary like "sewing, string, needle, threat, knot, button..." as well as practicing through the real experience of: How can I do...? Can you help me with...? I can ..., I can't... , please I need some help...
For sure we have learnt these things in regular lessons, but this was an opportunity to use these expressions in real situations and with it, training the spontaneity in english.
We were sewing for a couple of days in order to get them ready ... and then, a new proposal from the group arised: why don't we do a short movie with them?? And again ... why not? So this is in process right now.
Isn't it nice when the students feel that they can develope their own ideas, and the fact of using a foreign language do not stop or block them to go for it?!?
