SECOND CLASS OBSERVATION

September 10th 2016

Level: Module 9-Reading

UNIT:4

Objective: Reading about the changing face of Kung Fu

The second class observation started making an activate where students passed to the front to choose a word on the board (water, air, earth) it depended which word they chose students said an animal related with the word. Students were confused at the beginning but once they understood the dynamic they enjoying it.  Teacher continued with the next activity she gave them a piece of paper with a question like Can you turn around 5 times? Students were asking to many classmates and they had to do the action. Then they had an evaluation on the laboratory. So, we were waiting for them and to continue the class.

When students came back to the class we pasted the new vocabulary and meaning on the board she usually divides the class in two team girls and boys so that the way they were working, this activity was not the exception. Both teams had to guess the meaning of the word however they had the difficulty that there was one more meaning. So, they had to be carefully at the beginning they were confused for the reason that they did not know the words but they always made the best they can do it. At the end teacher clarified doubts and practiced the pronunciation of the words.Students continued the class making an activity from the book they had to fill up some sentences with the vocabulary they have already learned however students were not working on the activity because they did not pay attention to the instructions. To face this situation and because students were  hyperactive in this activity, I would have preferred let them read the sentences aloud and asked if they did not know some words and then let them work by themselves. After that students make sentences in pair using the new vocabulary.

Next activity is called stop the bus, students made group of four and they had to write one country, color, object, etc. with the letter that teacher said once students finish they said stop the bus and anybody can continues writing, team who got more point was the winner. Then students read the text from the book, also they did an exercise as well. Before continuing the class students went to see a presentation about the different celebrities in other classroom.

When the students came back to the classroom they read it back the text but this time with an audio, in addition they had to make an activity in the book based on identify the main ideas and the support ideas of the text. When they finished teacher passed a ball to choose the students who were sharing their answers.

Teacher divided the students in two groups, taxy and driver, students who were the taxy had to have the eyes closed while the driver was leading them. The rules were red means stop, yellow change a partner and red drive, teacher was saying those words.  For this activity I think we have to be carefully with the space if we do not have it is better avoid this activity.

To finish the class students read the text on more time then they closed the book to play a board game, students played in two team teacher used a dice witch help her to know how many space the teams were moving until they can get the  goal, in each stop students had to answer questions to move on.
