I have gotten asked the question a few times from friends and family, \u201cWow, Argentina!\u00a0 What you are going to do there?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The answer\u00a0is the most exciting part of the trip.\u00a0\u00a0We will be\u00a0teaching in\u00a0the Mary Graham\u00a0school in San Juan for four days.\u00a0\u00a0The first day is an observation day to get a feel for students\u2019 expectations.\u00a0 During the next\u00a0three days, we will be in front of the class, delivering\u00a0teaching activities\u00a0we have prepared.<\/p>\n
My teaching activities\u00a0are titled:\u00a0American football, Diversity of\u00a0Winona restaurants,<\/em>and an English lesson, \u201cWhat do\u00a0nouns do?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n I have put more time into these activities than activities I\u2019ve designed in the past, because these classrooms\u00a0won\u2019t have projectors \u2013 so we can\u2019t hook up our computers and project the lesson\u00a0on a screen in front of the room –\u00a0 therefore, I have\u00a0condensed all of the content and instructions of\u00a0my lesson plans to fit into six ziplock\u00a0bags.\u00a0 I will put\u00a0the students into five\u00a0groups, give each group a bag, and lead them through the lesson.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve\u00a0been practicing the delivery of the\u00a0activities (in Spanish)\u00a0by recording myself and\u00a0listening for mistakes.\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0know that the less troubles I have while\u00a0navigating the lesson, the more time the children will have to enjoy the activity.<\/p>\n –\u00a0Harrisen\u00a0Ornes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have gotten asked the question a few times from friends and family, \u201cWow, Argentina!\u00a0 What you are going to do there?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The answer\u00a0is the most exciting part of the trip.\u00a0\u00a0We will be\u00a0teaching in\u00a0the Mary Graham\u00a0school in San Juan for four days.\u00a0\u00a0The first day is an observation day to get a feel for students\u2019 expectations.\u00a0 During […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[162],"tags":[209],"class_list":["post-562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-travel","tag-argentina"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb2ffS-94","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1982,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562\/revisions\/1982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.winona.edu\/academics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
