Describe
My last class was really good because I felt so
confident and exited because I was about to finish my practicum. For, I try
to make a different warm up. What I did was that I took them to an imaginary
scenario; they closed their eyes and I was guiding them into a trip in their
mind. At the end I made them questions about specific details of their
imaginary trip. The next activity was a reading about meetings in different
countries and they made groups of four ss and the last activity was a
presentation based on the reading.

I could
notice that the students were with their eyes closed and enjoyed the
imaginary trip.
I could see that at the moment of the reading activity they were very attentive, they payed attention while I was reading.
When they
were in groups. I was explaining to one group what they were supposed to do and
I was focus on them; then I notice that a group started to speak of different
topics they were not on task at the moment
|
Based on what I saw warm up activities can be
different once in a while. Because they were very active in the class despite
the activity was not about to be moving.
I could observe that it is very important to give
them time for them to read and look for new words in a reading and write them
in the board and explain the meaning.
Monitoring is very important because if I pay too much attention to one side of the classroom the other side will be chaos. |
In future lessons I will consider to include this activity
without over use it.
In the future I will try to include inside the
reading a glossary of probable’s new words.
Next time I will try to provide indications in more
simple ways. In that way I will monitor the classroom the whole time.

Describe
The second class I felt really good because this
time the classes were in a different classroom. The place had a lot of space
and the weather was fine, the environment was very appropriate for learning.
The warm up was very good because students really liked it. Students made a
circle and I gave them a ball, one ss was in the middle of the circle while
the students forming the circle were passing the ball behind them. The
student had to guess who had the ball, if he did not guess he had a penalty.
The following activities were very good because ss were on task all the time.

I could
notice that the students really enjoyed the warm up. Their attitude was very
enthusiastic because they did not want to finish the activity.
The second activity required that students were facing each other and asks questions about animals.
The next
exercise they did it in groups of three and they did it in their seats.
|
Based on
what I saw, students enjoyed interact with each other while they speak,
laugh, entertain, and practice English.
Based on what I observed, I could notice that having
two activities that require students be standing is not so suitable because
the interest diminishes.
I could notice that they were on task all the time and their attitude toward the activity was very nice. |
So, in the future, I will do prepare activities in
which students have more contact among them.
In future lessons I will try to combine the activities
and not having TPR activities in arrow.
Next time I´ll provide them activities in groups
because they seem to like this kind of activities.

Describe
I can say that my first class this last period was
good because I had a previous teaching experience with that group of students;
so, it was very nice working with them again because I felt very confident. The
warm up activity was very nice because all the students enjoyed talking about
animals. I made a review about passive voice and all the students were
attentive in class.

I could
notice that the students were very excited in the warm up activity.
I could see that at the moment of explaining the grammar about passive voice many students have doubts about the topic.
When they
were doing the exercise I provided them they were a little confused.
|
Based on
what I saw, I think that students really enjoy interacting among them.
Based on what I observed, I think that I did not
provide the appropriate explanation to the topic; in which the students could
understand the topic very well
I could notice that my grammar explanation was not enough to cover the students ‘need of knowledge to apply it in the practice. |
So, in the future, I will do many activities like
this one in which students talk and interact among them paying attention to
provide them interesting topics.
In future lessons I will try to explain the topic in the simplest way, I will try to provide them only the necessary information to understand the topic.
Next time I will try not to complicate at the moment
of explaining grammar; I will try to do it in a concise way.
