Seeing Through Others’ Eyes

Hello everyone! 😊  After reflecting on our goals and ideas, we have already created the final idea for our final product. Now we'll tell you what it's about and how we developed it. The final product of this project will be a short video created by students in small groups. In these videos, they will represent situations where they face different emotional challenges and show positive ways to deal with them. With the teacher’s support, students will plan and record their videos during one of the sessions, using imagination and teamwork to make the situations realistic and meaningful. They will be encouraged to include dialogues, expressions, and actions that reflect real emotions and strategies such as asking for help, staying calm, or communicating effectively. In the following session, all groups will watch the videos together and take part in a group discussion. This reflection time will allow students to share what they learned, identify the emotions represented, and comm...

Hello  veryone and welcome back to our blog !! 🌟🌟  Today we'll tell you about our lesson 4. In this lesson will get into the creation and recording of a film.  At the beginning of this class, we will split the class into teams. Each team will have to develop a script of a film.  Then, with the help of the teacher, they will have to film their videos.  We hope you all like this lesson!! 💗 See you soon :) Topic: Doing the project, filming Title: Little stars  Objectives and Goals:  To define the concept of empathy → integrated in the story creation. To distinguish positive and negative behaviours → during brainstorm and idea selection. To recognize empathic and non-empathic behaviors → made explicit in the script writing. To identify different emotions in oneself → brainstorm based on personal experiences. To identify different emotions in others → while developing characters in the story.

Hi everyone!! 💕  Today we are going to have a look at the key competences that will be achieved throughout this learning situation and how thay will be focused. First of all, the key competences are those abilities, knowledge and attitudes that the student must develop during the learning situation. These competences let students apply what they have learnt to their daily life.  Linguistic communication competence : Throughout the project, students will communicate both orally and written, expressing their emotions in a clear way. They will improve their ability to use language for interpreting, cooperating, and expressing themselves creatively by working on the short film, and presenting their work in the final session. Multilingual competence : This competence will also be worked throughout the project because they will be learning  in English all the vocabulary that they already know in Spanish  Digital competence : By engaging with interactive tools such as vide...

Hello everyone, welcome back to the blog! 💗👋In this entry we want to share with you the methodology that will guide our learning situation. It is important to explain how we are going to work, which strategies we will use, and why this approach will help us achieve meaningful learning. Our learning situation is based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Both approaches place students at the center of the process, encouraging them not only to acquire knowledge but also to think critically, collaborate, and apply what they learn to real-world contexts. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Problem solving is understood as the intentional elimination of uncertainty through direct experiences under supervision. Depending on the level of student involvement, PBL can take different forms: Level 1: Teacher-directed problem solving. The teacher provides the problem and guides the process step by step. Level 2: Problems are defined by the teacher or textbook, but studen...

Hey guys, welcome back to our blog!! 💘 Today we're going to talk about the scientific basis behind developing materials from different multimedia on the internet. We have used this resource for our learning situation, so today we're talking about its theoretical foundations and evidence-based benefits. The use of Internet multimedia, such as videos, podcasts, infographics, or interactive websites, allows teachers to create supplementary materials in different formats and adapt them to specific contexts. This means that the same content can be reshaped to fit the needs of different learners, making lessons more flexible and accessible. One of the strongest benefits of multimedia is its ability to engage students. When information is presented through dynamic and familiar digital formats, students are more motivated and attentive, which makes learning more meaningful. Scientific evidence supports this idea. Research has shown that combining text with images or video improves com...

Hello everyone! 👋 Today we want to share our next lesson, which focuses on empathy, emotions, and positive behaviour through the visualisation of the short film Joy and Heron . This activity helps children recognise feelings in others and understand different perspectives. We’ll start with a short discussion about empathy. Students answer questions like What does empathy mean? and How does it feel to show or receive empathy? They will look up the definition online to build interest and digital literacy. Next, they will watch The Joy Story: Joy and Heron . As they watch, children pay close attention to the characters’ expressions and actions. Afterwards, they answer a few questions to check their understanding and discuss how the dog showed empathy, why kindness matters, and some other questions. Then, students will do a creative task of writing their own ending to the story. This activity encourages imagination, and writing practice in English. To finish the lesson, the class re...
