LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN

Una buena forma de trabajar los Medios de Comunicación en clase es mostrándole a los alumnos todos los Medios que existen para Comunicarnos o para recibir o enviar información.

Podríamos enseñarles una por una las vías por donde nos llega la información desde fuera, comenzando con los Medios de Comunicación de Masas, como la televisión o los periódicos.

Más adelante, les mostraremos los Medios de Comunicación que nos permiten relacionarnos directamente con una persona, existe un emisor y un receptor, y el mensaje está personalizado:

Para finalizar, les propondríamos una actividad, para que no se produzca un aprendizaje pasivo, sino que ellos mismos formen parte de ese conocimiento. La actividad consistiría en unir los Medios de Comunicación de la columna de arriba con su correspondiente de la columna de abajo:

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by every one who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child.

Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else. So she was always called Little Red Riding Hood.

One day her mother said to her, "Come, Little Red Riding Hood, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine. Take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good. Set out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the bottle, and then your grandmother will get nothing. And when you go into her room, don't forget to say, good-morning, and don't peep into every corner before you do it." I will take great care, said Little Red Riding Hood to her mother, and left

The grandmother lived out in the wood, half a league from the village, and just as Little Red Riding Hood entered the wood, a wolf met her. Little Red Riding Hood did not know what a wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him.

"Good-day, Little Red Riding Hood," said he.

"Thank you kindly, wolf."

"Whither away so early, Little Red Riding Hood?"

"To my grandmother's."

"What have you got in your apron?"

"Cake and wine. Yesterday was baking-day, so poor sick grandmother is to have something good, to make her stronger."

"Where does your grandmother live, Little Red Riding Hood?"

"A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood. Her house stands under the three large oak-trees. You surely must know it," replied Little Red Riding Hood.

The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender young creature. She will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act carefully." So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red Riding Hood, and then he said, "See Little Red Riding Hood, how pretty the flowers are about here — why do you not look around? I believe, too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing; you walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is very merry.”

Little Red Riding Hood raised her eyes, and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought, 'Suppose I take grandmother a rose. That would please her too. It is so early in the day that I shall still get there in good time.' And so she ran from the path into the wood to look for a rose.

Meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at the door.

"Who is there?"

"Little Red Riding Hood," replied the wolf. "I am bringing cake and wine. Open the door."

"Lift the latch," called out the grandmother, "I am too weak, and cannot get up."

The wolf lifted the latch, the door sprang open, and without saying a word he went straight to the grandmother's bed, and devoured her. Then he put on her clothes, dressed himself in her cap, laid himself in bed. Little Red Riding Hood, however, had been running about picking roses, and when she had gathered so many that she could carry no more, she remembered her grandmother, and set out on the way to her.

She was surprised to find the cottage-door standing open, and when she went into the room, she had such a strange feeling that she said to herself, 'Oh dear, how uneasy I feel to-day, and at other times I like being with grandmother so much.' She called out, "Good morning," but received no answer. So she went to the bed. There lay her grandmother.

"Oh, grandmother," she said, "what big ears you have."

"The better to hear you with, my child," was the reply.

"But, grandmother, what big eyes you have," she said.

"The better to see you with, my dear."

"But, grandmother, what large hands you have."

"The better to hug you with."

"Oh, but, grandmother, what a terrible big mouth you have."

"The better to eat you with."

And scarcely had the wolf said this, he was out of bed and swallowed up Little Red Riding Hood.

When the wolf had appeased his appetite, he lay down again in the bed, fell asleep and began to snore very loud. A huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to himself, 'How the old woman is snoring. I must just see if she wants anything.' So he went into the room, and when he came to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying in it. "Do I find you here, you old sinner," said he. "I have long sought you." Then just as he was going to fire at him, it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and that she might still be saved, so he did not fire, but took a pair of scissors, and began to cut open the stomach of the sleeping wolf.

When he had made two snips, he saw the Little Red Riding Hood, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl sprang out, crying, "Ah, how frightened I have been. How dark it was inside the wolf."

And after that the aged grandmother came out alive also, but scarcely able to breathe. Little Red Riding Hood, however, quickly fetched great stones with which they filled the wolf's belly, and when he awoke, he wanted to run away, but the stones were so heavy that he collapsed at once, and fell dead.

ENSEÑAR EL ARTE EN EL AULA

DELAUNAY.

La elección de las obras de este pintor se basa en un criterio educativo. No existe una preferencia por un autor de uno u otro siglo, simplemente he creído conveniente comenzar a enseñar Historia del Arte, o Arte por sí mismo, por este autor, ya que sus cuadros poseen mucho colorido.

Para comenzar una sesión con esta actividad en clase, se podría empezar observando el cuadro, diferenciando colores, distinguiendo figuras geométricas... Se trabajaría así la temática del cuadro, lo que aparece en el cuadro, y lo que nos transmiten esas imágenes o colores.

Seguidamente, podríamos pedirle al alumno que buscara información sobre Delaunay y sus cuadros, y se podrían comentar en clase las características que lo diferencian de los demás pintores de su época (ya entraríamos a conocer a Picasso o a Dalí...).

Finalmente, le pediríamos a los alumnos que nos hagan un dibujo con la misma técnica que utilizaba Delaunay: con muchos colores muy llamativos, jugar con las luces, utilizar figuras geométricas...

Más adelante, podríamos trabajar más pintores de más épocas, e incluso hacer un recorrido por la Historia del Arte: el paleolítico con las pinturas rupestres, el Arte Griego y Romano, Arte Bizantino, Renacimiento, etc.

Para profundizar en nuestra cultura, podríamos entrar a conocer el Arte de Al-Ándalus.

Esta es una buena forma de conocer un poco la Historia, nuestra cultura, las costumbres que había en cada época. Este tipo de actividades abre fronteras y ayuda a conocer mundos y formas de pensar diferentes a la nuestra.

Las Tres ERRES del Reciclaje.

Es un método divertido para aprender a reciclar, reutilizar y reducir. Una actividad que debe ser aprendida por los niños y concienciar de lo importante que es para el medio ambiente.

Reciclamos y cuidamos el medio ambiente.

MANUALIDADES PARA RECICLAR PAPEL.

Romper el papel de periódico a trocitos pequeños.

Ponerlo en un barreño y echarle agua caliente. Dejar reposar varias horas e ir revolviendo añadiendo agua o papel hasta conseguir una papilla consistente.

Poner un trapo grande en un barreño, echar en él la pasta y retorcer el trapo para que cuele el agua sobrante. Se consigue así una bola de pasta.

Dejarla en el barreño y añadir la cola en polvo y el agua.
La pasta debe tener la consistencia de una crema fluida y pegajosa. Esta pasta resultante se llama papel maché.

Con este papel resultante podemos realizar diferentes figuras, cuando la pasta se seque, la podemos pintar con témperas o pinturas acrílicas.

Algunos ejemplos:

Estos ejemplos son figuras muy trabajadas, pero podemos encontrar diferentes actividades para hacer con papel maché, más fáciles o más difíciles, adaptándonos al nivel (y a la motricidad fina) del alumno, aquí.

Es un Blog dedicado exclusivamente a las manualidades con papel maché, y hay actividades bastante interesantes.
