                                                                 PREPOSITIONS

The reason for what I chose "Prepositions" is because prepositions are very useful in all moments and in all places. I think that prepositions should be taught since children are in the first grade. It is because they can use prepositions in their daily life. When children begin to use prepositions, they are practicing notions of place and time. Moreover, I chose this theme because prepositons are very funny and easy to teach to students. Also, there is a lot of information about prepositions such us videos, power point presentations, pictures, games through which students can practice the new vocabulary.

This blog was created for students from fourth grade. Students from fourth grade are able to use prepositions in and outside the classroom. I have said before, prepostions must be taught in the first grade, but I have created these activities for the school in which I work. So, in my work, children learn about prepositons in that grade. 
Through these activities students are going to develop the four skills which are listening, reading, speaking, and writing. The blog contains many videos.So, students can look at, and listen to what a preposition is and when we should use them. Also, there is a song to develop the listening and speaking skill. Songs are very useful in classroom because students learn the new vocabulary in an unconscious way. Also, by using the songs, students practice pronunciation.  Moreover, there are pictures that contain preposition according to them. Students look at the pictures and read the prepositions. Then we can find some activities that make students practice their ability to write. Students must write the correct preposition according to the picture. Finally, there are games. The game is about prepositions where students choose an object and they must to put it in the correct place. 
I like this course so much because I like technology since I was a child. Knowing about different sources where I can get information, and the new things that I learnt is amazing. I like the best when we create the voki and the comic. I never heard about them before. It is very interesting to know about these programs.

  One thing that I would like is to know about these web pages before I begin to write the tesina. The ICT course is very helpful, we learn a lot, and in the future we can use all the knowledge that we have about web pages in our works.

Prepositions are the words that indicate location. Usually, prepositions show this location in the physical world. Check out the three examples below:

The puppy is beside the phone.
On, in, and beside are all prepositions. They are showing where the puppy is. Prepositions can also show location in time. Read the next three examples:
