Describe
I was writing the date and the agenda on the board,
and some Ss were talking about a homework assignment they had. The
environment was great as the previous classes; the Ss were friendly as
always. The seating arrangement was in the horse shoe style, and the materials
that I used were worksheets for writing exercises, a chart for explaining the
grammar part (some and any; affirmative, negative and question form) and some
pictures for a story telling in the free activity.

At the beginning, I was under pressure since I had
to do it better than the second class. However; little by little, I felt more
comfortable. I saw that the Ss got what I explained.
I think that I explained as clear as possible the
use of some and any with examples, and the activities that I did in the
class.
Giving examples is something really important
because if Ss do not get the topic with just the grammar explanation; they
can get it through the examples.
When I asked the Ss, they answered in the way that I
was expecting. I could see that they were able to go to the next practice.
|
Based on what I already know about variety of
activities, I saw that the Ss were enjoying the activities.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
got the explanation, and I could see it through the responses of the activities.
I believe that any and some is not something
difficult for the Ss because they made an effort for using them in the best
way.
|
So, in the future, I will be more relaxed. Sometimes,
I worry too much about the class and I don’t enjoy it.
In future lessons, I will apply variety of
activities since this really works for maintaining the Ss active all the
time.
The next time I teach this lesson, I will ask the Ss
to share the storytelling in pairs since I just asked some of them to pass to
the front because of the time.
In future experiences I will also include speaking
activities. I could see that the Ss always enjoy talking and sharing with
others.

Third Class (Second Period)

Second Teaching (Second preriod)
Describe
I could see that
some Ss were eating in the classroom, and I was preparing the materials that
I was going to use. Some Ss were in
the classroom on time and the others arrived 5 minutes late. The environment was
really good as the first class. The seating arrangement was in the
traditional way because of the space. I used a baby bottle for the warm up
activity that is called spin the bottle for reviewing the phrasal verbs of
the last class. Then, for the presentation, I gave a reading in which Ss had
to underline the phrasal verbs they find. After that, I used some pictures
and concepts for doing a matching activity, and I explained the meaning of
each phrasal verb. And then, some worksheets for the other activities.

I used a reading
activity, and it worked really great. I think that readings are important since
they refresh Ss’ minds, and also, they worked well when we want to introduce
a topic.
Also, I used a
matching activity. I told the Ss to come to the front and match the pictures
with the concepts. Ss’ responses were great since I had a lot of
participations.
I think that encouraging
the Ss is something that we have to keep in mind in every class since that
catches Ss attention since the beginning.
Ss are active if we
maintain them active since the beginning of the class.
|
Based on what I
already know about speaking activities, I can say that they really work in
the classroom, and Ss do not get bored.
Based on what I
observed, I think students generally got phrasal verbs I could see that they
used them in the writing and speaking activities, and they did it really
great.
I believe that speaking
activities can help student learning because they put in practice the
vocabulary that was given in the class, and in that way we can know if they
are able to use it in the appropriate way when they speak.
|
So, in the future,
I will give a variety of activities for make the Ss practice a lot in many
different ways.
In future lessons,
I will prepare the examples that I will give because in this class, I was
hesitating a little bit.
The next time I
teach this lesson, I will be careful with the time sometimes; I feel that I’m
running with the last activity.
In future experiences
I will also include readings. I could see that they are important for Ss to
remember how to write some words.

First teaching (Second Period)
Describe
When I was in the classroom, I saw some Ss there. They were
talking about a presentation they had in another class. I was writing on the
board the agenda and the objective. The environment was great the Ss made me
feel comfortable. The seating arrangement was in the traditional way because
of the space of the classroom that is small. I used a small teddy bear for
playing the hot potato, a chart for explaining grammar (past continuous
related with parts of a car) pieces of paper for unscramble sentences and
markers for the free activity.

In the warm up, I
developed the hot potato for reviewing the topic of the last class. I played
music, and the Ss had fun with the activity.
Teaching the past
continuous is not difficult. However, the vocabulary about cars was a
challenge because it was new for me.
This may help Ss
learning since it increases their vocabulary. Now, Ss not only know about
what contains a house also they know about cars.
|
Based on what I already
know about speaking activities, they are important when you want your Ss to
practice their speaking skills. However, written activities are important
since they practice the grammar part.
Based on what I observed,
I think students generally got what I explained, and I felt happy for their
reactions
I believe that I could
do a better job since I got nervous. It was my first time with them, and I
was thinking about their reactions. When I gave my explanation about
vocabulary, I just did it once. I think That I could give them more examples
about each word.
|
So, in the future, I
will give more examples in the vocabulary for being sure if Ss got some
words.
In future lessons, I
will make some speaking activities in order to practice the vocabulary taught.
The next time I teach
this lesson, I will use funny activities I could notice that they enjoy and
at the same time, they put in practice what they saw in the class.
In future experiences I
will use a variety of activities because of the time I just did three. Also,
I will control the time.
