ANALYST

Hi guys, how was your week? Hope it was great. I'm Amelia and this week I’m the analyst of the ‘Teachleaders’ so my work here is to answer a few questions which you are going to see down and also I have had to grade my mates work.

Here you have the questions:

a. What was the best part of the activity?

The best part of the ‘Treasure Hunt’ I think it has been finding how different maps can distortion the perception that we have about the Earth, we have learnt a new thing because we didn’t know that depending on the type of map the distortions were different. Also, another great part has been working with my mates one more week because they are great workers and I feel very comfortable with all of them.

b. What was the worse?

The worst part has been understanding correctly what we had to do because we didn't have to much time to ask all the doubts due to that they appeared as we were doing the task, but once we get to understand everything it was much easier.

c. What was the best moment of the week (in the work of the group)?

I think the best moment was when we finished this second task because it has been a little bit hard and we have worked a lot on it.

d. What was the worse?

The worst definitively was the first day that all the members met because we didn’t know exactly what we had to do, but it got better and we made it!

e. What have you learnt?

With this activity my mates and I have learnt that in the future, when we become primary school teachers we have to be very careful with the types of maps that we are going to choose in order to explain geography to our students because depending on the map the perception that we have about the Earth can be distortion.

f. What do you need to conserve -as a group- for the next weeks?

As far as I’m concerned we need to conserve the ability that we have to coordinate each other because take into account that we are seven, we are a big group, and sometimes can be difficult to agree with the rest of member but we always come to an agreement.

g. What do you need to improve –as a group- for the next weeks?

In my opinion we need to take more advantages of the time because we all are from different places and we can’t meet each other every day so we must assess better our time together in order to get a great result every week.

h. How THIS content is related to other contents in the course and in your degree?

All this content is related with our degree. We realize that all the subjects that we are studying are preparing us to be careful with the things that we choose to teach to our primary students.

i. There is any evident social connection of this content (news, politics, etc.)?

Of course there are evident social connections because we have to realize that we are teaching to little children and what we teach them at their age is very important because these are going to be the bases of their knowledge, so we should teach them using the best tools that we can find.

That's all for this week!
