SEVENTH CLASS OBSERVATION 

October 15^th   2016 

Level: Module 10-Reading 

Students: 18

 UNIT: 7A-7B 

Objective: Reading about “The flower trade”

This Saturday was the first class for the level number ten; students were reduced from twenty to eighteen in the reading level the new unit was “Sweet Scent”. The class was started by my tutor making an activity which students wrote a sentence about something true about them on a page. Then, they made an airplane with the paper in order to throw it, and got the airplane near to them after that they were reading the paper and guessing the owner of it. I think this activity is perfect to break the ice and encourage students to practice speaking.

The vocabulary was presented by the tutor; she used a die to choose volunteers in order to match the word with the meaning. Students are always hyperactive however this helps them too encourage them to guess words without care if they might mistakes. I think with the time teachers know how we can challenge our students in activities. Then, they made the activity in page number 106 to practice the new vocabulary, to be sure if students were clear with the new words teacher requested a sentence using one of the vocabulary words.

In the reading part, first teacher gave the instruction for scanning the text to get those words they did not know and predicted the topic; second students read the text using an audio, in this step I might notice students followed the text better when they had someone or something in this case to focus on; finally, students complete the comprehension exercises in the book.

The last activity before the break student made two groups, teacher had twelve different cards drawing on the board on their were writing the number from 1 to 12 but also from 100 to 600, students threw a die when they got a 2 for example the card had 100 point they had to answer questions about the text to get those point, boys team were the winner because they got more points.

100 1	100   2	200    3	200   4	300  5	300  6
400  7	400 8	500  9	500 10	600 11	600 12

Objective: Reading about “The flower trade”

For the second part of the class I started making the warm up, I passed a ball to play hot potato, I was counting from 1 to 10, when I said ten I also said right or left in order that students identified their classmate in the side to describe that person, at the beginning they were afraid but one they remembered the adjective they developed the activity correctly.

Karla started the new lesson after the break, she was asking what they came in their mind when they saw the images about the new lesson, she let students to share their opinions, in addiction she showed them some perfumes in order that students might images if it was for men and women.

For the vocabulary Karla used the game millionaire, she used the projector to made the activity students were excited to play because it was a new way to presented new vocabulary, to verify the pronunciation, she made tow team and gave them fly swatter, when she said a word one member of each had to touch the word they were getting points when they pronounced correctly.

In the reading stage students read the first time for scanning the text, and then they read it back using an audio. After, she requested to make question about the text in order that students answered the questions for the contrary group, once they finish they complete the exercises in the book about comprehension.
