MAKING PUPPETS

1.Find a clean sock that's long enough to cover your arm. A crew sock or a knee sock would work great for this! The sock can be any color you like. It can be fuzzy or plain. Jut make sure there aren't any holes.

 2.Slip the sock over your hand. Once you the sock on, make a C-shape with your hand. Put your fingers into the toe part. Try to get your thumb into the heel part. If you can't reach it, tuck the sock into the groove between your thumb and fingers.
  • Open and close your hand. Your sock should already start looking like a puppet.

3.Glue some eyes onto the sock. You can do this with a hot glue gun, fabric glue, or tacky glue. For the actual eyes, you can use buttons, pompoms, or googly eyes. You can also draw the eyes on with a marker.
If you want, draw some eyelashes with a marker!
4.Add some other decorations. Your puppet is done at this point. You can still glue items onto it to give it more character. For example, you can glue some yarn to the top for hair.

Body language is an important component of communication and it is to our advantage to develop skills in this area in order to be better communicators.

“Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach where some content learning (like a topic on global climate, or a subject) is taught in an additional language (such as English language in Korea). It is a single educational approach which involves very different models.” The video of David Marsh is very interesting because talk about how the different schools introduce the second language method, so it is very useful because that topic is common in all the Spanish school. The teachers need to know how to use in a better way the methodologies for teaching a second language and accelerate the learning of content, language at the same time, having fun. He also talked about the CLIL method and explains some situations where this method work in a very good way, so I saw that teaching like that is possible. To get this is necessary that the teachers working together in spite of ages or groups. Teachers usually find themselves dealing with mixed-ability cla
