Hello my dear ESLp colleagues,
I was doing a project called WHERE IS THE LOVE? It has the same name of the song it was based on by the group BLACK EYED PEAS. This great song has a lof of social themes and first we reflected about them, then my students did a lof of posters and we had good discussions about these great themes and many others that the students brought up...
Then I asked them what we could do to show our love and also do something that could change our community in some way. So they had the brilliant idea of doing a charity bazaar. So I told them about the American Garage Sale and we did the bazaar. We went to a poor community in our city, together with the Mackenzie project (Mackenzie is a Presbiteriam College that does some great social projects every year) the bazaar was a great success and all the money we got on it, we are going to donate to an orphanage.
And to culminate this project we had a cultural quiz based on the film Slumdog Millionaire. The 5th grade students answered questions about the English culture, politics, turist attractions, etc and the 1st year ones answeded questions about the USA. It was really funny and exciting!
You can find all the project here:
SO, I CAME HERE TODAY TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO THE COLLEAGUES WHO ANSWERED MY PREVIOUS POST ABOUT IT IN WHICH I ASKED FOR HELP AND YOU HELPED ME INDEED...
