"My hat it has three corners,
three corners has my hat;
and had it not three corners,
it wouldn't be my hat"
Hello!
In my class with teenagers I did an activity with the tongue twisters we learned in the teaching English to children class.
They are between 12 and 14 years old, that means that they are very competitive.
Before teaching the tongue twister I separated the classroom in two
teams and I gave to each team the tongue twister but in 10 pieces. And
they had 2 minutes to organize it in the correct way.
I think they took more than two minutes to resolve it but finally one group did it. Then I wrote the tongue twister on the board and we say it with the gestures representing specific words and omitting some words.

We teachers are always adapting our activities according to our students' needs. That makes part of the teacher's learning on the way to be successful!
Congratulations Lina! You're blog is really pretty and it gives useful ideas and thoughts to take into account when teaching...I will definitely keep in mind this specific activity...
I really love your blog!! Thanks for sharing your experience with the different strategies we've learned in class. This encourages me to use those resources because sometimes I'm afraid of doing it. Great post!
