My feelings towards the class

mayeremese1 — 2024-12-10 17:13:13 UTC

I wanted to start my padlet with my honest opinion and feelings about this class. I felt that it is important.

I loved every minute of it. It made my days! There was even a week when I remember feeling really depressed, and after the class on Thursday my whole week turned great. Thank you for all the smiles that you have put on my face, and all the fun we had during classes. I will never forget those.

Also I feel like learning was easy and fun this way. It was like going for a fun club and then suddenly knowing everything.

So all in all, THANK YOU!!!!

Unit 6 questions

mayeremese1 — 2024-12-20 22:08:06 UTC

Would I teach Litlle Miss Muffet to young learners? Why?

-Yes, I absolutely would, because I also like it myself. It is a fun little rhyme, and we can play with it. It is quite funny, to roleplay little miss muffet being scared, and screaming for example. Also there are a few things that we can learn from this short rhyme. First of all what is a tuffet? Or curds, or whey? We can also learn about spiders in connection with this rhyme, and we could discuss why we souldnt be afraid of spiders.

Unit 6 questions

mayeremese1 — 2024-12-20 22:13:28 UTC

Think of ways to introduce the Little Miss Muffet poem to kids.

-For example, I would gladly tell them a short story. It would go like this: Come here guys, I have a funny story for you! Guess what? I saw a cute girl eating some treats, and guess what she sat on? A tuffet! Do you know what a tuffet is? (we discuss it). And as she was eating her treats, a big big scary spider sat down beside her, and the girl ran away screaming. Wait a minute! There is also a poem similar to this story, it goes like this: Little miss muffet....

Unit 6 questions

mayeremese1 — 2024-12-20 22:17:43 UTC

-Have you got a sister? Yes she has a mister.

-Have you got a brother? One after another.

It is a really interesting video, because what she talks about is an innovative way to teach spoken english. This is really important, because through nursery rhymes kids learn a nice vocabulary, but it is also important for them to learn spoken english, so that they could use english in practice, in real life.

Humpty dumpty

mayeremese1 — 2024-12-20 22:31:40 UTC

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrv495corBc

Interesting fact about Humpty Dumpty

mayeremese1 — 2024-12-20 22:33:44 UTC

Humpti Dumpti [sic] had a great fall;
Threescore men and threescore more,
Cannot place Humpty dumpty as he was before.
