Joint Productive Activity!



Joint Productive Activity

Report and Reflections 

This time I decided to carry out this activity with the group of children I am working with at my receiving institution. I helped these wonderful and unquiet children to create a joint product. “Posters for daily routines” I began by encouraging collaboration among them, we talked about the importance of collaborating in order to achieve a common goal and they seemed to grasp the idea pretty well. The activity gave them a great deal of excitement and I think it helped them to understand how important it is to collaborate with each other so as to achieve a common product. I divided the labor of making a poster among each member of the class, so everybody was in charge of doing something, everybody was responsible for something and no one felt left-out. It was rewarding to see how they assisted one another with the different jobs of making a poster. It was very motivating to see them in action, learning through a “Joint Productive Activity”, collaborating, providing assistance. It is relevant to mention that this activity definitely helps to keep children under control and avoid discipline problems since they keep active creating, making, doing something they like.

  1. Loved the activity!
    It feels so great when a group with no so good behavior works inspired in a collaborative task. It always amazes me how they help each other even before you need to ask them.
    Congratulations on the success of your activity!

  2. Hi Jaide, I have had almost the same experience as you have had with the wonderful unquiet students. As Nazary commented: "it feels so great ..."

    I also liked the way you wrote your post.

    Best wishes!
    Edna
