The first group to present their work was KIA (Kids in action) composed by Pablo Magallares, Ana Escribano and Ana Gónzalez. Their didactic sequence was about the solar system using Jigsaw and TGT techniques. First they showed us their plan tables, then their sessions and the materials they will use and finally the bibliography. I liked this proyect because they had good objectives and plans, they solved very well the problems (for example when one member of the group left the work they change things and continue with the work without her), they explain it very well and the didactic session was interesting. The thing I liked the most was the session in which children had to construct by themselves the solar system with all the planets, it is a good way for children to learn when they have to do things by their own not only listening to the teacher. Some aspects that I think they can improve are: include some visual material (for example videos) because children will learn more, and not use competitive games in which there is one winner and the rest will be losers, because this can affect to children self-confidence and if some always lose, they will lose their self-esteem.
In conclussion, I liked this proyect and it is well-posed so children will learn a lot at the same time they are working in teams, improving their cooperative abilities and having fun.
The other group was The Minions composed by Isabel, Irene, Raúl, Elisabet and Ainara. Their didactic session was about music subject and the instruments world. They first introduced their personal commitments, then their sessions including a personal diary, the bibliography and finally the team plans. First of all, this group didn't have an introduction to their work or an index, so they start talking without structuring their work. The other aspect I didn't like to much was the diary, I think it is a good tool for children to learn but not in the way they used it. They used it as a reflection of children learning and the feelings they had but I think they should had included a reflection about the content they will be working on so that they can understand better the topic. Finally they had some problems in the preparation of the presentation because they had a piece of music they wanted to show us in their mobile phone so we couldn't hear it very well. Some aspects I liked were: they used Jigsaw technique which is a very good tool to use in cooperative learning. They also wanted to make classes more active and in my opinion this is a good method better than if children are passive and don't involve in their own learning. Other aspect I liked was the activities they used because unlike the other group, there weren't winners or losers so children can feel more comfortable. Finally I likde the preparation of the proyect because as in my group, they prepared all the activities together so everyone knew all the parts of the work, it is better to work in groups rather than individually because there are more ideas and the work will be more creative.
In conclussion, I also liked this proyect and I find interesting to work with it in a class. Children will have fun at the same time they are learning.
