If we discuss our students'confidence and independence  ,the key word is toxic or healthy classroom environment.When the teacher teaches the lesson and not the kids,when he scolds and critisizes harshly no matter what ,when he shows that he /she doesn't care about his/her students'psychological state and improvement,then the class environment is unhealthy and thus weakens st's confidence and independence.

I had a failure feeling when I had to change school and I had to teach 6 and 7 year old kids for the first time.Although I was  already an experienced teacher,I had never taught very young kids.I had to change tactics and behaviour ,insist on repetition ,organisation and loads of patience.I enjoyed that school year and felt proud in the end of it.

We have different kind of guests throughout the school year in my school.We often have musicians from the town conservatory ,who show the different musical instruments to the kids and explain everything about music.They sometimes accompany us to our celebrations.We also have a writer /poet once a year and they are writers of children's stories most of the times.

2.3 Effective Collaboration for PBL inside the Classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas for activities to develop effective collaboration          Most of the times I let them form  their own groups(3 or 4 depending on the task).They choose the members of their groups and then vote to have their leader (different each time).He/she will be responsible for the actual task and they take on different responsibilities by themselves. Of course there is always some kind of competition between groups which is extremely motivating.The groups know that they should always follow the classroom rules(for example while we have group work,we must have co-workers with different background-economical or social -different learning style or level and multiple intelligences).

According to James Fester (5 Strategies for Fostering a Collaborative Culture in a PBL Classroom)

Make sure team members know what is expected of them

Create norms and roles where appropriate

Monitor progress constantly

Celebrate even little successes

Give students ways to informally develop cohesion

1.6 P2P - Your PBL Design: Formulating your driving question

# data[].attributes.body
To experiment with the PBL approach in my classroom I will introduce the followig topic.
"Do you think you can win at our school magazine's storytelling competition?"
The students are in the 5th class of my primary school.The task will be to make an e-book with a story/fairytale of the past retold in the present,or make their own story.
Of course it is a task in English.

I'm sure it will spark their enthusiasm as it involves competing to each other.
They will practice  :

simple past tense usage

Linking words

parts of a story(beginning-middle-ending,plot,setting,characters......)

collaborate with other members of their group

use web2 tools

In my opinion all components are equally important and vital when we wish to implement PBL effectively in our classroom.But collaboration and assessment would be really challenging as far as my class is concerned.

1.3 P2P - Reflections on our current teaching practice

# data[].attributes.body
As long as the classes are consisted of pupils with multiple intelligence,,I try to have a variety in my teaching strategies so that everyone can benefit from the learning process.So depending on the lesson I have to teach,I may use a traditional lecture especially with my older students but most frequently the teaching and learning process is based on games .My kids learn easily and with less effort when they have the impression that they are playing in some kind of a game.I give instructions ,let them form their peer group and inspect/facilitate their game.Even when someone forgets what he/she has learnt in the previous session,it is easier for them to remember the game ,how he/she felt during the game and thus remember the learning point.I believe the PBL method could somehow be applied to my class and I can imagine my kids will love it.My kids are in the 5th class and I teach English.What I can think of,is practicing storytelling/storywriting  with them

# data[].attributes.body
It's a really challenge for both teachers and students.Extra prepararion and organisation is needed by the teachers ,and special effort by the students to learn how to collaborate with their piers in order to solve a problem whatever it is.

I have been teaching English since 1990 ( in the private sector and in public schools).I have spent most of my  teaching career in primary schools teaching English .I love integrating new technologies in my teaching process whenever and wherever this is possible.My students are thrilled and this is extremely motivating both for them and for me.Also,I love working in partnerships with other classes from other schools and internationally.I have joined in many European projects so far with a great deal of different partners with a great deal of different topics.
