KIA EXHIBITION

We have to write a post of each organization groups with the purpose of realize what we have learnt through our mistakes and success. The first day of exhibitions presented two groups: KIA and my own group. Kia group talked about ‘PLANETS’ utilizing jigsaw technique or puzzle. In my opinion, it was an amazing exhibition because this was the first exhibition of this subject and, although they were a little nervous, they explain their exposition very good. They get their personal commitments: improve their English and talk in public. Realize about your mistakes and try to improve them very important to grow professionally. Due to their group work, the activity and the relationship between it and jigsaw technique was very clear. All of them had knowledge about all of the presentation and, when the teacher provides them with constructive critics, they answer her without problems and accept in a good way the critics. I think that jigsaw technique is a good method to teach because the learning could been done through cooperative work in which students shared their experiences and knowledge, in which they feel themselves like a important component of the group and feel that they are teaching their schoolmates. Also, what I like most is the no competitive thinking. I think that children can learn through games and, of course, no competitive games are the best. Children can feel that all of them are winners and all of them can get a prize. This is more motivate than a competition, because in a competition, losers think that they work was bad and they feel demotivated and also, it can generate problems between members of the group and the cooperation, friendship, respect and learning that we could obtain, would disappear.

I really like this exhibition and I don’t have any remarks just that the activity could be done in a few days more.

Finally, I want talk about few things that my own group should improve, like talking better in English with the spectators, improving the oral communication and add our personal commitments and the evaluation tables in our presentation.
