PROYECTO UK:

  

¿En qué consiste?
Hemos empezado con el proyecto del Reino Unido. Los niños eligen un país sobre el que buscan información siguiendo la plantilla propuesta en el blog por las profesoras. Aunque se trabajarán todos los países, los niños se especializarán en uno de ellos. Una vez terminado el proyecto, se presentará al resto de la clase, se contestarán a las preguntas que le hagan sus compañeros y luego los trabajos se expondrán en nuestro colegio. 

¿Con qué material cuentan los niños para realizar el proyecto?
Para realizar el trabajo, los niños deberán visitar el blog de Literacy (Página "UK Project"), donde encontrarán información sobre los países. También se les entregarán hojas con información sobre cada uno de los países que guardarán en los archivadores de la clase. Los niños podrán encontrar además libros de consulta en la clase. 

¿Cuándo se entrega?
Los niños trabajarán en él durante las clases, pero aquéllos que quieran pueden hacerlo también en casa. El proyecto se entregará en el tercer trimestre.

¿Cómo se entrega?
Más adelante (y tal y como se ha hecho con los proyectos de Suiza y de los dinosaurios) se entregarán a los niños unas plantillas para que hagan sus proyectos en ellas (folios o cartulinas).  Si quieren hacerlo en otros formatos, pueden hacerlo sin problemas (siempre y cuando las preguntas del blog estén contestadas). Los alumnos deberán tener  en su cuaderno pequeño las preguntas del blog, así como las respuestas.
