Remember this guide is important to help you with our final task, a flipbook for first-year students.

Remember that your final task is creating a student guide.

You already have information about subjects, emotions and classroom objects.

You only can create a very short student guide with this information.

So you need more information to create your student’s guide.

Think with your team about which section is important to include in a student’s guide.

2. Identify what I have to do

You already know what your challenge is and the activity that will bring you closer to the goal. But to succeed in your journey, you will need some strategies that will help you in this and other similar tasks. You will discover them in a diary that we call your Learning Diary.

This time we suggest you open it and complete STEP 1 of the Learning Journal before you start the activity you have just read about!

Remember:

  • Ask your teacher whether you will fill it in on paper or on the computer.
  • If you fill it in on the computer, don't forget to save it on your computer when you finish it! Cheer up, you'll do great!

¿Necesitas más ayuda?

Ya conoces qué reto te proponemos alcanzar y te acabamos de plantear una actividad que te acercará a la meta. Pero para tener éxito en tu camino, necesitarás algunas estrategias que te servirán para esta y otras tareas parecidas. Las irás descubriendo en un diario que llamamos tu Diario de Aprendizaje.

En esta ocasión te proponemos que lo abras y completes el PASO 1 del Diario de aprendizaje antes de empezar la actividad que acabas de leer!

Recuerda:

  • Pregunta a tu profesor o profesora si la rellenarás en papel o en el ordenador.
  • Si la rellenas en el ordenador, ¡no te olvides de guardarla en tu ordenador cuando la termines!

¡Ánimo, que lo harás genial!

6. Have I been able to do the activity?

You have already finished the activity, A student’s guide! The beginnings may have caused fear and insecurity.

If you complete STEP 2 of the Learning Diary (Will I be able to do it?), you will see that those feelings are common when you start a task and reflecting on this will help you reduce your insecurities in the next activities.

Remember:

  • Ask your teacher whether you will fill it in on paper or on the computer.

¿Necesitas más ayuda?

Si completas el PASO 2 del Diario de aprendizaje (¿Seré capaz de hacerlo?) podrás ver que tus sentimientos son habituales cuando empezamos una tarea y reflexionar sobre ello te ayudará a que en las próximas actividades esa inseguridad sea cada vez menor.

Recuerda:

  • Pregunta a tu profesor o profesora si la rellenarás en papel o en el ordenador.
  • Si la rellenas en el ordenador, ¡no te olvides de guardarla en tu ordenador cuando la termines! ¡Ánimo, que lo harás genial!
