Lovely students making lovely sachets!The boys let me take a picture of their creations...like this one...it's supposed to be a man. I love the creativity!Super cute!! Look at this heart-shaped one!! Stylish!You will not be able to see the next two sachets very well because of the brightness - but I assure you they are gorgeous!The beautiful girls compensate for the bad pics I took...Most of them had never held a needle in their hands and went home with a nice sachet they made with their own hands!! Although the activities were time-consuming in terms of preparation, I believe the experience was really rewarding both for me and my students. I cannot guarantee " everybody" enjoyed the crafts , but all in all I noticed a very positive attitude, even from the staff - who could observe " the rumpus"If you want to have a go at craft lessons consider some points:Are you prepared to spend more time and reseach on a lesson preparation?Would you like to have a richer repertoire?Would you like your students to develop their Visual, Tactile and Kinaesthetic Channel?The truth is that I love these elements of fun in my classroom and I do try to be creative and encourage my students to be creative as well, but I also expect them to work and produce. Remember : to some students a fun activity is one that has nothing to do with learning English - this should NEVER be the idea.IDEAL TEACHERS" Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own".Nikos Kazantzakis Cooking classes can be rewarding. Learning about cooking in a foreign language may seem difficult at first glance; however, as soon as students master the vocabulary, the class can be lively and effective.I have to confess I was so involved in the activity that I forgot to take pictures while they were preparing the recipe. Here we were waiting to take the brownie out of the oven.... Everybody enjoying the moment..... Gustavo and Mari checked the baking of the brownie many times.... The proof of the pudding is in the eating!!!My applause for the students and their wonderful result!Reminders:* The recipe for this delicious brownie is on the previous post.*If you are a teacher check how many students will participate and how long the class will run.*Make sure you have all the supplies, equipment and ingredients to accommodate the class.*As a warm-up you can make use of crossword or puzzles, worksheets in which students answer questions about fitness, healthful diet and nutrition, and pictures to help them visualise instructions when cooking ( slice, chop, add, cut, pour,etc.).If you are interested in the topic, check out these sites for vocabulary activities:http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/language-games/wordsearch/foodhttp://www.eslflow.com/foodrestaurantlessonplans.htmlhttp://www.eslpartyland.com/quiz/meat.htm My evening students asked me for a cooking lesson, and as I believe they prefer something to do with chocolate, I searched for a brownie recipe on the internet.
