Third Class (Second Period)

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.

Plan Action

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.

  2. Hi Meli! I notice that you did a good job in the class and let me tell you that I agree with you when you say that students like speaking activities. They enjoy when they practice the language with the parter or a group. So, it is important to include speaking activities so that they can improve and learn a little bit more about the English language. Congrats!!
