First of all I should say that in general all the theoretical parts was great because it’s quite difficult explain the same again and again and make in different ways but there was some of them that I love because of their creativity. These groups are: WANDERLUST, CRÓNICAS VIAJERAS and TEAM PEARK.

-          AMIGOS DEL FOOTBALL

They explain quickly, because of the limit of time, but in a clear way something that I think that is quite difficult. I highlight the idea to make rules to work with a group because this makes easy the team work. I like that they add some information that we that were the first group didn’t say. The only think that I could highlight in a negative way is the fact that they forgot to put the personal commitments. 

The activity was simple but effectivity. It’s perfect if you have a group where nobody knows others. I think that it could be change depending on the age of the member, the objective of the teacher… so it’s a good activity because of its flexibility.

-            TEAM PEARK

The know how to use the time because they did a very good work and they didn’t need to meet. They explain all with their own words and they understand it because when teacher ask they know how to answer. Something that I remember was the class rules because this takes me to the program Supernanny and I think that her methodology is fantastic so take it and use it in a class I think that is a great idea.

The activity has a very clear objective, make the rules of the class. This is something that teachers do always at the beginning of the course. I feel always that this was boring and so on but I realise that you could do the same in a funny way because I don’t stop laughing so I think that it was a fantastic activity because they take something so simple and became it in something very special.

-         CRÓNICAS VIAJERAS

I really love this exposition because they made a metaphor between the theory and their name. First of all they were really well organizing and it was obviously that they had learnt the theory and the most important item; they understand all of it because they help each other.

The activity consisted in take something important to us or some souvenir of a trip that could describe us or something like that. With this we could learn more about our classmates but in other way that the last activities because we learn more that the favourite colour or type of music so I think that they give another meaning of an existent activity.

-         MODERN STUDENTS

They made a poster and I like too much the tips for the teacher. They focus the project similar like us, I mean; they take the main ideas and did a guide. I highlight the idea of compare and advantages and complication of this theory. In general I think that this work was so great because they simplify the meaning of cooperative learning and put many examples.

At the beginning I don’t understand very well the idea because when they say that we couldn’t speak and I think that we couldn’t make signals too but it wasn’t the case. Finally the activity was so original and dynamic and I feel very comfortable.

-         WANDERLUST

This was the most original presentation. I really but really love the idea of present the theory through a video. I realise that this group work so hard to make it and I value this so much. I think that it was the clearest exposition. They use many examples, told the ideas with their words, make draws to explain different ideas… I love it.

They change the original idea of the game to make other where we put in common all ideas that we have learn during those days. I think that this decision is so mature and intelligent. I could describe this work in a word, perfect!

-          UNKNOWNS

I think that was the only or one of the groups that mention different authors and I think it’s important taking this into account because the teacher want it and many people didn’t do. Because of the nervous that make some mistakes but I value the capacity of resolve it and this was very professional. It’s interesting mention the way that they explain the idea of rotate roles. This is very important and sometimes we pass on it so it’s interesting.

The game was again to meet each other but they introduce a new element, the ball. If we take into account that we are learning to teach children, use a ball is a very good idea because they know how to use it and I think that if the teacher want they could do another game after that so is helpful for the teacher. It was very fanny and I think is very positive.

First of all, and in a technique way, I don’t like the fact that the start the exposition with a prezi and then change to a power point because with this people could became quite confused. I think that they try to explain all in a professional way and this take them into a mix there was some desorganize, even they need to explain in Spanish because anybody understand the problems set, something that nobody talked before. There was some of the member that seems like more prepared, they know a little bit more than others.

The activity was interesting but for children it could be like homeworks. The idea it’s fantastic but I think that needs more “fun”.
