Think of “a simile “ for a teacher´s role…

Example:

http://www.google.com.pe/imgres?imgurl=http://web1.macfields-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/moodle/file.php/1/Clipart/ist2_6373793-cartoon-chef.jpg&imgrefurl=http://web1.macfields-h.schools.nsw.edu.au/moodle/course/category.php?id=9&h=351&w=380&sz=36&tbnid=WK1rVcJWWJ6oMM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=99&zoom=1&usg=__Qzhna2BI_XkZJHIcpTDYHHSdR4c=&docid=uFwzzLdajLKxeM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DqrhUIrXL4LA8ASvkoDgCw&ved=0CCsQ9QEwAA&dur=747

Teachers sometimes need to put out the fire of textbook boredom so they need to be in a creative mind-set to be most energized, and the combination of purpose and technique helps teachers to avoid and return from burnout.

In your point of view, what are the characteristics of a good teacher?

What kind of work or activities do you find totally engaging? Why?

Which ones do you hate to do? Why?

Stimulates curiosity

Permits us to express our creativity

Makes us think

Is something we are good at

Is challenging

Fosters positive relationships

Is repetitive

Is boring

Requires little or no thought

Is forced on us

So after having seen the

previous information:

What questions would you

have in mind when designing

“Activities” for your

students?

1. What real-life attitude does it resemble?

2. What language is predicted to be used?

3. What input will be provided (reading, video, situation, audio, discussion, etc.)?

4. What degree of challenge will SS have?

5. What will the outcome of the activity be?

6. What resources will be needed?

Learning is more effective when students take active role in the learning process

We should develop the students’ ability to do things by themselves

Do less teaching and let them learn
