JOURNALIST

Hello! Today, I am the journalist. My name is Leire.

In the class of the 23 of October, one student for our class, red us one book that it is called “Don´t let the pigeon drive the bus!”. So, all the class we put in a circle and we listened her carefully.  It was very nice! She made us talk and take part!

The book is a children´s picture book by Mo Willems. Released by Hyperion Press in 2003. The plot is about a bus driver who has to leave so he asks the reader to not allow the pigeon to drive the bus. The pigeon tries many excuses and tries to finagle readers into letting him drive the bus.

Without we realize, “Don´t let the pigeon drive the bus” obligate us to put ourselves in the place of an adult that he have to deny something to someone younger than him. And we must confront to faces of 'good boy', tantrums and desperate emotional blackmail.

Also, the book can be considered as a game: every time that the pigeon say us that it wants to drive the bus, children will have to say “NO”.

After the book, we have put in groups and we have done one list about the principles of our project. The principles are about what we want to do for children learn English in a fun and active way.

When we have finished doing the list, we have spoken about our principles all the class. So, we can have put or change other principles in our list that we have liked.

Then, all the groups will publish in the blog their list. So, all the people who want, will can see it.

Finally, in the next publication, my group and I have published our list with some principles that we would use in our school to teach English. We hope it will be interesting for you and for all the people.

BYE!
