Week 2 --- My first time observing a class

 

Hi guys i am going to describe you a little bit the classes that i observed the last friday, September 29th the first group was my classmates Esmeralda, Griselt and Rony with the listening skill. I like the way in which my classmate Griselt started the class because she presented the names of each member of her group to the students and asked them  ¨how are you guys?¨. Then, Esmeralda made the warm up activity that was a memory game. Besides, she made the pre-stage in which she put on the floor some pieces of paper with words  that students finished to write with a marker, and she checked the good words and wrong words. She did a good job, but unfortunately her tone of voice was not good because sometimes i could not hear what she was telling to the students.

Griselt made the during stage in which she gave to the students some worksheets to complete when they listened the audio, and the students felt excited to complete their worksheets because they are very intelligent, and they paid attention to the audio. Moreover, griselt explained them in an easy way what students was going to do, and she checked around the students if they were finished their work. She made a nice job the kids, and i noticed that the students enjoyed her class. I really like the way in which she read her book to them.

Rony made the post stage in which he asked to students draw their families, students finished fast and presented their families. He did a good job too, but his tone of voice was not strong because sometimes i could not hear what he was telling the students. However, the group finished their class before 4, but griselt was prepared with an extra activity she asked gave to students some pieces of paper, and asked them write the family members that they remembered, and pass in front of the tree, and paste. The group did a good job.

The second group was my classmates Isela, Isabel and Nathaly with the reading skill. Isela did a funny warm up in which students stood up and made two lines also, students found the names of the pictures that she had in a table. It was an interesting activity. Then, she started presenting the vocabulary that the group included in the story. She did a nice job with the kids and I noticed the students enjoyed her class a lot.

Isabel did the during stage that is one of the most difficult part in the reading lesson, but she did a good job because she started making a review about the family members that isela showed to the students. Also, she asked to students stood up and sat down on the floor, students paid attention to the story. I like when she reading the story for them because each time that she mentioned some family members she rise the pictures too. Besides, she gave to students some worksheets in which they were going to answer some questions about the story.

Finally, Nathaly did the last activities in which students anwered the true/false statements. At the beginning she was nervous, but i the end she achieved a good interaction with the students.The wrap up activity that she made was an excellent activity because students made mimics in from their classmates, and their classmates guess which family member they represented. This group did a nice job too. Unfortunately, the next two classes my classmates and my group are going to teach to other children, it is a great goal because we hear that our new students are rebels, but we hope make a good job with them too.
