Date: September 28th

Grade: 4 grade

Population: 29

Start and end time: 10:00 a.m - 12:00 p.m

Session objective: Carry out a survey to the students in groups in

order to recognize students needs,
deficiencies and desires.

Description: Started with a warm up and selected groups

because students didn’t want to choose their
teammates to work. In groups of five they
completed the survey. While they were
working, each doubt about the questionnaire
was clarified. Some groups finished faster
than others, but the answers were not right or
did not match with the purpose of the
question. It was not difficult working with
these students. All of them are motivated with
English and it is noticeable that they enjoy
learning. Everybody wants to participate and
improve their knowledge of this language.
