METHODOLOGY
La metodología se basa en la interacción constante siguiendo un modelo social a través del cual los estudiantes construyen sus ideas y conceptos siendo todos ellos mediados y guiados por el docente a cargo. Todas las actividades se realizan con el fin de profundizar en
gramática, ortografía, desarrollo de textos escritos y uso
de estrategias TIC en torno a un tema de interés y actualidad para la
población en particular.
ACTIVITIES
Cada tema lleva consigo una serie de actividades diferentes y a continuación vamos a ver el paso a paso.
Step by step proccess:
- The teacher will model what postcards are and show several examples. Ask students if they have ever received a postcard? Discuss with class participants.
- Tell students that they are going to select a photograph, picture etc. and be able to write a postcard. Students will select it from an available picture or photograph (these can be downloaded from the internet). Tell the students that they will discuss the postcard through writing and share what they wrote later on.
- Teacher will show a poster of the correct way to address a postcard and what each side is used for. Teacher can model this activity on a plain poster or previously create one. Hand out postcard paper at this point (see link below).
- Have students decide who they will send the postcard to. They can then address the postcard. It is usually a good idea for students to choose someone at school and use the school address to address the postcard.
- Modeling good writing skills, teach the students how to use the date and greeting and complete those parts of the postcard.
- Students will peruse the photograph, interpret it by choosing what is happening in the photograph or picture and decide what to write. If help is needed in spelling, have spelling dictionaries and other dictionaries available.
- Allow students time to think and write their message.
- Students will complete their postcard by remembering to include the closing and signature.
- Students will now be given instructions about recreating the photograph from their written word. It will become a true picture postcard. Hand out a second piece of paper with the blank envelope shape on it. The picture will be drawn here using appropriate art.
- When students have completed their drawing, they will color their picture postcard.
- Students will cut out their shapes, both postcard and drawing, with decorative scissors.
- Students will then choose a piece of construction paper for the background.
- Using a glue sick, the picture will be glued on one side of the construction paper. The postcard (writing) will be glued to the other side of the construction paper.
- Punch a hole near the top with a one-holed punch. Put a reinforcement on each side.
- Measure out approximately 18 inches of yarn and thread it through. Your postcard is ready to hang and be viewed from both sides.
