FINAL WORDS

Doing this work we learned a lot more about the actual work that teachers face in class, is much more than just pass content. First of all, we discovered that depending on what we teach and those who want to teach, the method we use will be different. The level of students varies from school to school, and within the course there are different students with different levels and interests, which must be taken into account when developing activities to work with them. We found that the activities do not always unfold as expected. To put into practice some of them, we found that there were students left over , missing time, there was not all materials needed, etc . On more than one occasion, we had to make a change in the instructions to make the activity more interesting for students.

Finally, we must say that all these activities are ideas to use, but as an old proverb says “the map is not the terrain” , so much of the success of these activities depends on our performance as teachers in classes , without neglecting the preparation.
