THIRD CLASS OBSERVATION

September 18^TH  2016

Level: Module 9-Reading

UNIT: 5

Objective: Reading about Urban underworld

This Saturday was different for my classmate and I because our

tutor gave us the opportunity to develop the warm up in first and second part of the class. First, Karla developed her activity to start the class making a dynamic called “broken phone”. She provided the instruction to students, they made three lines, and the last person in the line Karla was showing a word in order to pass it in secret one by one until the students who was in front of the board got it to write down. However, students are competitive always so, they were cheating at the first time besides Karla tried to follow the activity in the right way. I really like the activity because it involved all the students to participate.

After that, teacher Lily started the class presented the new vocabulary, some students participated voluntary to match the word with the meaning. Once they finished students made two sentences using the new vocabulary, teacher passing the ball to select the students to share their sentences. In addition, students shared their opinion about the new unit, also they made an exercises in page number 47, to know students answers teacher passed two balls, one for question and the other one for answers, students were excited to read the question instead the answers, this activity was perfect in order to encourage students to make the exercises in class. Following with the books activities students were matching events with date on the book, they had to pay carefully attention to do it well, it was a little be hard for them because they were not paying attention when the events were reading but they answered together.

During reading, teacher asked for scanning the text to find new word because they were hyperactive she decided to ask, for those words she considered will be difficult for them, and also to catch their attention, I would like to do this little task in the future to ensure students are focus on the task.  Teacher requested to make the exercise in page number 72 bases on the function of prepositional phrase.

 After the break,  I did the warm up I was a little be excited because I know students are difficult to control their behavior but for the first time was  really good experience, students made three line, I was showing a word to the last students in the lines, they had to draw in their back one by one, and the students in front of the board had to write it, in the practice was difficult for them because they wanted to do it the faster as they can, then it was easy because the words they knew it. To continue with the unit students created three different statements, it could be true or false, teacher gave them fake money, and they had to bet before to answer if they did not answer correctly they lost, student who earned more money was the winner. This activity worked perfectly because they wanted to be the winner, and I love because it was a different way to make students participate.
Students had an oral presentation that means teacher gave them time to organize; they were presented in pair straight thing in the world.
