Example 1: Like a bird (primary and secondary)
Multicultural awareness means knowing about other cultures. In EFL, it is quite natural to help students develop it, and the current curriculum asks us to do so. Knowing about other cultures also helps students to value their own,

How can teachers integrate collaborative project in their assessment programmes?
In the next form, you should provide answers about at least two of the following collaborative projects:

The main idea that I will remember after this course, I know it could seem too obvious, is that I need an Assessment Plan. That includes I have to take time to put all the ideas and new concepts I learnt in order and design an assessment plan carefully. This plan must include summative and formative assessment and as we do with our learning activities it has to include variety and be attractive to our students.
I also take the idea that I have to make clear what my goals when preparing the assessment activities are. This will help me in order to organize myself and my register. At the same time students will have also clear what is expected from them.
I would improve formative assessment implement it in my lessons in a clear and plain way. I think I haven’t done it very well at the moment because I didn’t give it the importance I think it must have. I would like to select the assessment activities and put them in a kind of grid where I could see that all the skills are covered and balanced and next to them check that different agents and tools are included. I strongly believe that formative assessment will help me to know which are the real difficulties or in which stage my students learning is.
Next year I would like to promote peer and self assessment because in my every day I normally don’t give time to my students to learn learning. When I give them the time I don’t keep this learning in mind when I grade them. I also think that I underestimated my students and make the mistake of thinking my primary students are not able to do this kind of activities so I’ll prepare more assessment activities in which the students can self assess or assess other students.
I also would like to add rubrics next year. I heard about them before but I was reading some links Cristina and Núria gave us and I think they will be very useful and make the assessment clearer and more subjective.
I think it will work because throw this course I relearn (I suppose I knew before but maybe I didn’t see so many clear examples or I didn’t feel confident enough to carry on with this) how important formative assessment is although it is more time consuming and it is not so easy as summative assessment. It can give us more and better information.
I feel overwhelmed for all the things I have seen these days and I am thrilling to share this with my colleagues at school and start changing some old fashion habits that don’t allow us to teach with quality and in a renewed way.
Maybe because it is summer but I feel with energy to try to change and incorporate things that make me grown and make my teaching better, thank you very much for sharing!!!

Objectives
- To write down some reflection about what we did at class.
- To create activities based on the things we worked.
- To be able to understand the lesson using the students own words.
x-What is this activity about?What is this activity about?
The portfolio is a kind of notebook where students complete different activities, create new ones and write down their reflections and check some spelling mistakes.
We normally use the portfolio at the end of the lessons (but not every lesson) and at home.
I want to highlight a specific part of the portfolio. This is when children create an activity about what we learnt at class. If we are working on comparative and superlative adjectives students have to create an activity related with that topic for example copying the vocabulary, matching pictures with words, compare two things from the classroom... The idea is the students use what they learnt in a meaningful way.
The teacher often gives a couple of examples to students but at the end of the year most of them are able to create their own activities.
x-How do I assess it?How do I assess it?
Portfolios are marked at the end of each term and they are compulsory. They are the 20% of the final mark.
