Once done the reminder starts class with a video called "Get it?" Students need to pay attention to the video because the end of the video the students share what they understood the message of the video.

The video is about a man who was unhappy all the time with the things that happened to him, he felt that everything bad always happened and that he had the worst problems. One day a man gives a lens, the lenses get started noticing the problems by passing people who were around him, he could tell if he was going through hard times also the other people even worse time.

All the time there are people who have a worse problem than yours, in some cases you could help in other cases could not do it but could be part of the solution.

After discussing what was understood of the video, teams are formed to answer some questions.

To end the activity, students should share their answers with the class. To end the class, a student must a small summary of what was seen during class.

It is very important that before starting any topic, students should be wrapped, attracting the attention of the student, the land issue in the real life of the students, so students can relate what they learn in class and apply it in their daily life.

4th CLASS

If you show a video to your students, you should know that the video should be about something that know or will engage students, because if you show videos of things that they do not know or not interested they won´t pay attention.

A good example of a video to show students would be the coke, everyone knows everyone has proven one, they will pay attention to the video because it interested them. At the end of the video you can give some questions to be answered basing on the video, this activity will be easier if you form teams because they will answer it easily and enrich the answers. When you show a video you need to involve thestudents to be able to go into the activity.

What is the purpose of forming equipment in the classroom?

You need to form teams because:

Ø     - Students need to work with all its partners.

Ø      -They need to change the routine because the most common is to work individually.

Ø     - A team may have different ideas, knowledge, strategies, etc., then all team members will learn something new about other peers and help to increase their knowledge.

You can use many strategies to form teams in your classroom to return your class more dynamic, one strategy is taking into account the size of the shoes, students need to stand forming a line, then they will find that partner agrees the size of their shoes and placed between or colleagues found that, after that the teams are formed with the first three or four members of the line and so on.

One issue that might be of interest is about stereotypes, stereotypes why? because you can now notice that the younger generation just want to copy the things that make or use other famous people used what some artist, be someone they're not really. We need to understand that every person, every city, every country has its own identity, its own features and characteristics that make each one is unique and special.

You can find out how much your students know about "stereotypes" making equipments, handing a piece of paper to each team and give each team a country, they should write the things that stand out or representing each country.
