Ok so I was the journalist this last week and here it is what we got up to in School Organization!!
First of all on Monday it was card election time, meaning that eveybody came in with their trivial cards ready and then Linda gave each group a certain topic and we had to choose the best eight cards out of all the groups cards under that certain subject. There were two groups that had double the work as they had to choose the eight cards for two different topics. It was really a fun class as we had a lot to do, we had to evaluate each card grammar wise, layout, presentation etc and give it a mark. 
By the time every group had finished analizing the cards it was time up and the class ended.
For the following day (Friday) we had to study all of the selected questions from each topic for the trivial game.

Ok so Friday came and it was game on!!
Everybody was really quite nervious and when Linda started to set up the digital Snakes and Ladders with her little Wizard of Oz magnets we got even more nervous!
It was a really cool class though, I know we all had to answer the questions Linda told us and we were all kind of shaking but it really was a good class, I loved it. Who gets to play games at school??
Well as we took quite a while to play and everything when the two hours were up we still hadnt finished the game, so we will carry on playing it on the following Wednesday... watch this spaceeeee

Thats all from the journalist xx

Journalist



Sorry for saving this post so late but I had had some problems with my computer I have not been able to do it before. On Monday  the 23rd Linda said that we had to do a new task, we had to build a game: a mixture between Trivial game and snake and ladders . This game would be based on the Spanish educational system, the teacher showed us the different topics there were:


1. Laws and Structure.
2. Management ( person and groups of management and government)
3. School time and grouping.
4. General indications about teaching methods.
5. Assessment and certification.
6. Deffrences between public and private centres.
7. Financing issues.
8. Other structures and variations. 


We had to create three card for each toppic Every question had to have only one answer and we must include the question , the answer, and the name of the group,and the back of the card had to have the topic. Beside the cards had a mesure, 9 cm wide and 3cm long.The information to make this questions and answers were located in the European document that explains the Organization of the Spanish Educational System.

Then with these cards we would make a selection: Linda collected up the cards of each topic and then she would give each group a topic. Each group would have to chose the best eight cards of his topic and would have to make an evaluation of the cards (cleaning, presentation) and give the final mark to each group. When we would have chosen the eight cards of each topic, the next step would be playing the game.



In this game, there are two types of winners:
  •  The winner group ( the group that get to the last square the first ) in the exam they could use a joker card in one of the test questions and get a 9,5 , as well, another joker card for the second group which would have a 8.
  •  There is also another award for best group ( who makes the best questions ) with this prize the group will  get 2 extra points in the portfolio mark and the second prize would be an extra point for the portfolio.
