SUGGESTED SPEECH TEMPLATE
Hello! I'm Sara González Cantalapiedra and I belong to group n 2-2-3. In my group we've chosen the song “make a circle”.

“Make a circle” is a short and simple song associated to a common routine in Infant Education and it is based on illustrators and cues.

This song help us to get our students ready to listen and play as well as social communication conventions.

It says “Make a circle - Big, big, big - Small, small, small - Hello, hello, hello ”. So teacher starts with illustrators, this illustrators are: Shake hands, Walkbackwith open arms, Walk forward with open arms, Stand in a circle, Move both handswaving. At the same time teacher have eye contact continuously.

Now it says “Make a circle - Round and round”. And the non-verbal language that it is use in this case children and teacher is start walking in circles with legs and arms move as an illustrator

Later the song says: “Make a circle - Up, up, up - Down, down, down” and stop to walking and they stand up in circle and when it says up, up, up every pupils and teacher Jump upstretching and when it says Down, down, down they crouch. The illustrators are leg movements.

And finally it says “now sit down” and all sit down on the floor.

======

During the song children react accepting the dance and using affect displayers to inform the teacher of their interest., Also through the paralanguage feature, clear illustrators and cue and the repetition of the rhythmic pattern provides children the opportunity to remember. Moreover the rising and falling intonation help us to control the attention every time.

======

As a final conclusion we consider that this interaction is basically a regulatory text full of instructions, under a game format, with two informative moments, and this is when teacher says “let´s go” and “what´s next”. And that’s all, unless you want to ask any question.
