For  most of a  week the students  in  small groups  did work in  those  recepies that  they most like  to prepare  and cook for  their  classmate .
Each one of them   were  in charge of   find the  foods  they need  ,but   they must  find  where those goods   were harvest , how many tons  were produce  , in which  country  or countries  we could find  them , how they were put into  market, which process  the goods need to  be eatable, in  which  season of the  year  were harvest , transports  that  should be    used to  move them   from the countries to  the supermarkets, how many kilometres  and  days should past  to be in our tables .
Finally , each  group  they  have to  presented  to the  whole  class their  investigation  plus  the  dish itself.. I mean   they  had to cook it and  served to  their  friends .
This final step was overlook by myself , taking care that nothing dangerous should happen during the cooking process.]]> 2017-10-06 16:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/catulosade/8ps3k9cehzeb/wish/194761436 catulosade https://padlet.com/catulosade/8ps3k9cehzeb/wish/194774669 Low level of collaboration
have noticed that the vast majority of activities which involve completing some grammar or lexical exercises don't lead to students' collaboration or even coordination especially when I give them separate handouts and ask to work on them together. They usually look at their own worksheet and do the tasks separately saying that they will compare their answers at the end. They don't feel responsible for their partner and they don't want to discuss possible answers or solve problems together. I try to avoid such tasks because they don't promote any genuine collaboration.

High level of collaboration
Students were asked to prepare a short acting scene based on a story written by themselves. I only told them the size of groups  and the first sentence of the story. They had to find their partners, assign the roles (who will be the narrator and the actors), come up with an original story, prepare the props, the costumes and the soundtrack, decide when they would rehearse (it was done outside the class). It involved a lot of negotiation and collaboration on their part but they loved the fact that they were given a lot of freedom and they could be creative with their use of English.]]> 2017-10-06 16:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/catulosade/8ps3k9cehzeb/wish/194774669
