COOPERATIVE LEARNING

COOPERATIVE LEARNING

We like working in teams. We worked in teams to do a science worksheet last week. We followed these steps:
- In turns, first we read the sentence and decide the answer.
- Then, our partners say if they agree or not with us. If everybody agrees, we all write the answer; but if we don't agree we need to decide altogether which answer is the correct one. If we don't understand it, our partners can help us.
- Later, when we finish the first exercise, we do the second exercise in the same way and so on. 
We like this way of working because it’s motivating, we help each other and everybody participates!
APRENDIZAJE COOPERATIVO
Nos gusta trabajar en equipos. La semana pasada trabajamos en equipos para hacer una ficha de ciencias. Seguimos estos pasos:
- En turnos, primero leemos la frase y decidimos la respuesta.
- Después, nuestros compañeros dicen si están de acuerdo o no con nosotros. Si todos están de acuerdo, escribimos la respuesta; pero si no estamos de acuerdo tenemos que decidir todos juntos cuál es la respuesta correcta. Si no lo entendemos, nuestros compañeros nos pueden ayudar.
- Luego, cuando acabamos el primer ejercicio, hacemos el segundo de la misma manera y continuamos. 
¡Nos gusta esta manera de trabajar porque es motivadora, nos ayudamos los unos a los otros y todos participamos!
