4th ESO

Maria Rosa had told us that the 4th ESO class was also a formed by student with learning special needs. In that case, in contrast to the 2nd ESO class, their problems are just regarding their English level but not related to their personal problems and bad behaviour. The group is in general friendly. Thus, we could have the chance to see another different situation. Maria Rosa explained us that some of those students had defined themselves as lazy. One of them had told her: " If the inspector comes I will tell him/her that you have done as much as possible for me to learn and it is my fault the fact that I don't have the level expected". I was somehow impressed about that course. I remember coursing 4th ESO. I was quite independent at that time (at least that's what I feel like). Our tutor is really keen on using ICT in class. For this group she had already prepared a wiki. However students didn't pay much attention to it so Maria Rosa thought that a good way to make them enter the wiki was hanging some pictures of them. I was surprised about the close relationship between teacher and students. They respect her and I think they enjoy English classes much more than others. Afterwards they easily went back to a project that Maria Rosa had prepared about Rainforests. We helped them from the beginning and that was the best way to know them and let them know us. Instead of a passive observation we walked around answering questions and asking others. That was a nice experience and I felt that 4th ESO would be a nice group to prepare the Didactic Unit for.
