Level E - 2nd Grade - Aldeia

Projects

The projects were a combination of ORAL MARK (Peso 2) + PAIR / GROUP WORK (Peso 1).

The students had to present, in pairs or groups of three, a topic of their choice to the whole class. It happened every week, during the months of May and June, always on Fridays. They were free not only to choose the topic, but also to choose the pair or group of three they were going to work with. 

There was a wide variety of formats. From cardboards to video and even powerpoint. They were responsible for their presentation from the beginning to the end and had to take all necessary steps to make it happen, such as checking availability of CCA or bringing extra material to class to enrich their project. 

I was extremely surprised with their commitment. They presented high quality projects, with very involving topics which aroused the interest of the class. 

To sum up I must say it was a great success. I was really proud of my students to see they can reach top when required. And most rewarding of all was to see that they were proud of themselves.
