RELAZIONE FINALE
docente : Ann Steinbrun
classe : 4ALM
disciplina / materia: Conversazione in lingua inglese
ANNO SCOLASTICO 2012/13
Piano dell’offerta formativa 2012/13 - Relazione finale individuale.
Ho avuto questa classe due anni fa. Era una buona classe allora, e adesso sono più maturi e
intellettualmente vivaci, con un livello d’inglese molto buono. Hanno seguito con interesse e
partecipazione attiva gli argomenti presentati. Si sono impegnati a preparare con cura le
presentazioni. Ho cercato di creare discussioni fra loro, ma era piuttosto risposte alle mie domande
che non un dibattito vero. Hanno parlato delle loro esperienze negli scambi culturali, gite
scolastiche nel passato, dei sogni e aspirazioni per il loro futuro. Sono molto soddisfatta dei risultati
ottenute, ma con un gruppo così ‘evoluto’ forse avremo potuto fare molto di più.
