third teaching (first period) English Access

Describe When the Ss were in the classroom, they were talking with their friends and getting ready for starting the class. I was preparing some flashcards for doing the warm up and they said “Hello.” The environment was really amazing I notices since the beginning that the Ss were really friendly. The seating arrangement was in the horse shoe style. They were twenty one Ss but the seating arrangement was in order. I used flashcards in the Warm up, a chart for explaining past participle in negative form, worksheets for the third activity and music with a hat for developing the free activity.

The new Ss really like to speak in the class, but they didn’t interrupt the class in any moment. Something that I really loved. I think they were quite since I was new for them, and they respected me. They were kind and always were listening what I said. I thing that to pay attention in the class is really important in the class since they can learn something new very fast. They got what I explained really fast something that I was happy for. This really helped me because I could develop other activities. They really liked to work.	Based on what I already know about motivating activities, I thing that those Ss enjoyed the class. All of them participated in the class. I was proud of them although it was my first time with them. However, they treat me like if they knew me since a long time ago. Based on what I observed, I think students generally learn the past participle (negative form) for they paid  attention. I believe that if Ss pay attention, they can learn faster. This can help in their learning because they are focus on what they are doing.	So, in the future, I will prepare speaking activities. They love to speak and practice the foreign language. In future lessons I will teach with some games. It really works at the beginning and at the end since they always are active and speaking. The next time I teach this lesson, I will prepare colored charts and flashcards. They are focus and paying attention with something that calls their attention. In future experiences I will also include speaking activities between them.

Teaching Practicum II (First period)

Describe At the beginning of the class, Ss were a little bit talkative. I asked them to stand up in order to do the warm up. They were happy because I told them to go out for develop it, and I could see that they really like to stay there. I had just had few Students because sometimes the others arrive late. Some of them were without energy, and I tried to cheer them up with the warm up. The environment always is great there. They are people who always participate and make us feel comfortable. The seating arrangement was in the traditional way because of the number of students. I used worksheets in the activities since it was a review.

When I develop the warm up, they were doing well. However, When I ask them to tell me a sentence, they did not speak aloud, and the other students didn’t listen. It was my mistake since I had to tell them to speak aloud, and sometimes the other students get distracted easily. I think that it is important to tell them to speak aloud because if they don’t do it the other students get distracted and start to speak of other things. Moreover, it’s not just for the teacher but for the students. This might hinder the students because if I don’t tell them anything they are not going to pay attention, and that will be a problem in the class.	Based on what I already know about activities, I think that English Access students really like to talk, and if we have students like that, It’s good if we give them speaking activities, and we will have the chance to take advantage of that skill they have. Based on what I observed, I think students generally got everything that I explained, but I have to give them more examples the next class.    I believe that variety of activities can help student learning because if we just assign controlled activities, they will be bored and they will hate that kind of activities. Moreover, they will learn in different ways.	So, in the future, I will do variety of activities in order to make the students feel with energy and interested in the topic. In future lessons, I will have something in my hand when they have to stop to speak since I had to scream a little bit the last class. The next time I teach this lesson, I will give Ss more example. Even though it was just a review, We have to give enough examples. In future experiences I will also include a song. I could notice students really like songs since I plaid one the last class and they were dancing, but I did not have the chance to finish that activity.
