Chapter 1:Backward Design

The first thing that called my attention about this first chapter was something releated with an article that I read. It was about TPACK and the role of the teacher as a designer (http://bblanube.blogspot.com). I totally agree with the fact that teaching must be something that mix a lot of things. One important point is that we have to be creative to design a curriculum that fits with the necessities. Other important aspect that called my atention in this chapter was the view that most of the teachers have. When teachers teach some grammatical things, for example, they only care about students memorize it, but the important point that they must be able to take these grammatical content and use them in a different context. They must learn to apply those contents. And as a last point is the importance that textbooks have inside a classroom and how much they affect to create a curriculum. Teachers rely on the fact that textbook provide almost "all" the information needed to make a class and their activities and that of course is a bad practice. Cata Soriano.

What I learn!

Well, even though this semester has been hard, I think I do my best. I've learnt a lot of grammar and to express myself. I am anxious about the next years for many reasons, first for the ELAB and also for how is going to be next year. I hope I can improve and learn more than this year.

Happiness

I suppose that when you are focus in something you try to do your best and not make mistakes. That is flow, concentrated the most on what you are doing. And of course that is very connected to life satisfaction. When you do something good you know it in the very first time, when you are concentrated in something in your life you have a huge chance to do it good.
Satisfaction is when you feel fulfill with something, is when you look the person who you are fall in love with and see that is perfect for you.
There are considered important because happiness is one of the most important things that people look in life. It is suppose that when you feel or are happy everything is better, and you can reach as many goals as you want.
My happiest moment in my life was when my little brother got out of kinder garden. He looked so pretty and happy! And he even knew why we all were I school, but he just danced his reggaeton and I was so proud of him!
The person who inspired me are actually two, and are my parents. They are together and they are overcome many problems that life puts in front. I always look at them and I feel proud of the family they are raise to.
