Hard-working classmates, great!

TEXT REVIEW

As it is observed in the pictures we were working in groups.

Being a teacher implies taking decisions. Sometimes as teachers we are asked to choose a text book to work in our English lessons. Based on our experience and the different approaches to teach grammar, we decided if the books that Katy took to the class were a good option to work with or not.

This was a very interesting class. We weorken in small groups to analyse some grammar books; the point was to find the way the authors build knowledge.

We checked two books. The first one was called Understanding and Using English Grammar by Betty Scrampfer. We ageed that the book can be used as extra material for our studnets to practice as it is not contextualized and some of the exercises are repetitive. However, it's an excellent material to reinforce grammar.

On the other hand, we also checked Grammar in Context by Sandra N. Elbaum. This book tries to integrate reading and listening skilles, but we considered exercises must be better explotated. Although we agreed this book could be used as the main text book in our class, it would be needed to adapt some of the exercises.
