Today I have seen a really interesting activity. It is called the funny man. We did this activity in both 3^rd grades. They had to paint a man with different clothes. During the week they were studying the clothes and the structure: What is he wearing? He is wearing a …. So, it was the moment to put in practice what they had learned. It was gratifying see how students did the activity autonomously.  They were working by pairs, asking:  What is the funny man wearing?  The other student was answering: The funny man is wearing a red jacket…

At the end of the class, all the students were distributed in pairs. Núria explained the activity one time at the beginning of the lesson and the students work all the time by themselves.

I think that if we want to change the approach of the school and foster child-centered education, we have to try to develop different activities that foster the autonomous and independent work for the reason to develop children’s personality and competences. That kind of activity promotes this teaching approach that we all would like to do in our class.
