Teaching “The sound collector” in 4th form
As the teacher enters the class, she says: “Today we are going to work with sounds… If you had to say one everyday-sound, which one would it be? (To activate Prior knowledge)
Some of the students will say “the mouse clicks”, “the joystick” “the door”. Then the teacher will say “And if I go and collect all those sounds…how would you feel?” Students will think and some of them will answer. The teacher will copy the poem on the board. She will show that it has seven verses. The teacher will divide the students into five groups. She will give one verse to each group, from the second to the sixth. She will explain that the first verse and the last one will be read by the teacher. Furthermore, all the students in each group will work on the verse they will have. Then the teacher will start reading the first verse, at the same time she will take a bag. (She will use TPR*: total physical response, doing mimics and gestures so the students can elicit the new vocabulary they are acquiring.) The second verse group will say each sentence from the verse and when they finish the sentence, all the members of the group will say the onomatopoeia. Example: "The whistling of the kettle" (sssszzzzz) At that time, the teacher will go to the group and she will act like she is taking the sound to the bag. And she will make gestures to them to stop making the sound. They will read "The turning of the lock" (“tic - tac”, students will say the onomatopoeia). And the teacher will go and collect the sound. The teacher will finish the poem reading the last verse. Everyone will stay in silence (the teacher will act it out for the students to know). She will say “Now, we have no sounds. Now, again, let's think of one sound that you do listen to every day. When I tell you, you will do it.” Then the teacher will act out as if she were throwing all the sound from the bag. She will say “Do it”. And students will have to say all the onomatopoeias at the same time.
*Total Physical Response (TPR) is a method of teaching language or vocabulary concepts by using physical movement to react to verbal input. The process mimics the way that infants learn their first language, and it reduces student inhibitions and lowers stress. The purpose of TPR is to create a brain link between speech and action to boost language and vocabulary learning.

The child as a reader: theory & practice
We have discussed how children read. We read about Reading Strategies, then, an article about Literacy instruction for Young Learners. And we watched an interview by Luciana Fernandez, graduate of Profesorado Saenz and lecturer on the subject. We have created a spiderweb or mindmap with miro.com to put forward NEW IDEAS we took from these readings.

Shrek: analysis of the structure
Shrek, plot summary
Exposition: During the exposition, the main character, Shrek, is introduced as a grumpy, smelly and ugly ogre who lives in a swamp (setting). Then, there are the supporting characters: Pinocchio, the three little pigs, Peter Pan, Snow White, Cinderella, Lord Farquaad, the Donkey, Tower Dragon, and Princess Fiona. Shrek finds his swamp has been squatted by a mass of fairy tale creatures who have been banished by Lord Faarquad.
The inciting incident happens when Shrek, accompanied by Donkey, decides to confront Lord Farquaad to get his land back.
Rising action: When Shrek finally meets Lord Farquaad, he does him a deal: Shrek must rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded castle to get his land back.
Climax: The action rises in the story when Shrek and Donkey rescue Fiona, and they go back to Farquaad's place. The Dragon tries to seduce Donkey. Through this journey, they start to fall in love with each other. Donkey discovers that at midnight, Fiona turns into an ogress. She is under a spell which can end with a true-love kiss. Shrek misunderstands this. This is the turning point in the story.
Falling action: When Fiona decides to tell the truth, she becomes a princess again. Lord Farquaad appears and leaves with Fiona to marry her. Shrek recovers his swamp. There is a moment of final suspense, when Shrek, Donkey and Dragon go to Farquadd's castle to stop her from marrying the Lord. When they get to the place, the sun sets and Fiona becomes an ogress.
Denouement: Farquaad does not marry Fiona because she is an ogress. Dragon rescues her and eats Lord Farquaad. Shrek and Fiona kiss, she stays an ogress and marries Shrek. Everyone is happy.

Comparison between Charlie and Harry
Harry Potter and Charlie Bucket are the heroes of their stories. Both are the embodiment of the righteous and courageous. Behind Charlie’s and Harry’s meek exterior lies an inner strength and courage.
What makes them different is the fact that Harry is an orphan since he was a baby and brought up by his aunt and uncle, the Dursleys, who mistreated him. However, Charlie is raised by his parents and grandparents who were loving and kind. Harry lives in a cupboard, and Charlie in a precarious house. Harry has all his needs covered but Charlie is deprived of adequate food, a bed… and any privacy. Harry gained his place at the Best Wizards School: Hogwarts. Charlie goes to a common school. That is why their context of living is quite alike and rather different too. Charlie’s and Harry’s physical appearance is quite similar, both are small and thin (almost malnourished) but with different hair tone.
Harry grows up as a shy boy unsure of his abilities. So does Charlie. Both share a sudden fame, in Harry’s case as a wizard and Charlie as the heir of Wonka’s chocolate empire, in contrast to their earlier misery. As a reader, we can feel that they deserve this after their unfair childhood.
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone, we can see him as a loyal friend, that is one of his lovely features showed when he became a team with Ron and Hermione. In the case of Charlie, there is no certain evidence that he has a group of friends. Story rounds on his family, he may make some acquaintances with the other children who visit the Factory but nothing in depth.
Both share the same spirit of group joy: Charlie and Harry prefer to enjoy their achievements with either their group of friends, in the case of Harry, or family, in the case of Charlie. Harry succeeds in enabling true friendships and overcoming his early loneliness. The same to Charlie: he prefers to share his only chocolate with grandpa Joe instead of eating selfishly.
Despite all this, they never complain and they accept their present moment. Both seem to be humble and honourable despite all their deficiencies.

We read this article about characters in Roald Dahl´s literature.
It is written from a perspective and a culture that has little to do with ours (Malaysia)
What do we find in common? What would you see differently?
