Project work
is defined as a planned piece of work that has a spaecific purpose, usually
that take a long time, sometimes is a big challenge for students. Projects is a
word that excites some, but scares others, due to most of the time those
activities become in something to heavy for students, however, those kind of
activities could be useful for our learners.
The article
for this week described that those projects are structured to maximize
language, content and real life kills. Something that I really like are the
effects of the use of those project in students like, increase of critical
thinking, motivation and engagement, improved social skills, etc. the article
gives us good examples of activities that can be used to work with our
students, also, something that calls my attention was that projects have to be
design to engage students to do it and also, those project need to have real
purpose, that means, that they have to be connected to the learning needs of
our students. many of those project make students to be aware of their
knowledge and pushes them to look for their own techniques to development.
Hello Hazel! I agree with you beacuse sometimes projects are not as useful as teachers think, even can be a huge problem to students since they are not interested in the project's topic, so then they do it just because. Moreover, we as future teachers have to avoid this statements by making them more meaningful so students can be envolved and interested in the project, and in order to achieve this objective we must follow the steps presented in the article.
