Welcome to the Classroom

WELCOME TO THE CLASSROOM

Names of the Teachers: LUIS AND GLORIA  Date: September, Friday 13 ^th, 2013.

Lesson 1                

Vocabulary: Bag, book, pen, pencil, ruler, eraser.

Grammar:  There is and there are.

The teacher Luis started with the class, so he started talking them in English, and I noticed that they was a little confused because some of them have never been in a English class and the other who have a input were shy; however, when the class was continue the children were feeling confidence, this was due to the fact that Luis presented a very good materials which help him to develop the class because the students were able to recognize the vocabulary when they saw the picture and internalize when the teacher said repeat after me.

PRESENTATION: 

Here Luis presented the vocabulary using pictures related with the classroom objects, then he told them to repeat the words and asked them what is this to know if they remembered the vocabulary words that were Pencil, Eraser, Book, Ruler, etc.

PRACTICE: 

Here Luis did a matching activity, where the students have the vocabulary words and then they had to put under the appropriate picture, this activity worked well because Luis first modeled, so the students understood what they had to do.

On the other hand, the teacher Gloria worked with the alphabet as a second practice, so when she started se projected a good energy, then she noticed that her first activity was not working well she immediately adapted and continue with the class.

Despite the problems that teachers had this class was well done because the activities were appropriate to the kids and they were very motivated to continue doing more activities. Furthermore, some of them have an input in English, and that is so interesting because they can practice in order to improve it. Those activities I am sure that help the students to improve their skills in English.

MY CASE OF STUDY: ALISSON DANIELA MARTINEZ

Well,  I noticed that Alisson was afraid to participate might be because was her first class in English, but while continue the class she was getting confidence, so I noticed she at least repeat the words, then when the teacher put them to work in group, she worked well with the other child this is due to the fact that she enjoys to works in groups, she likes to participate with other, make a job together; when she was in the group she tried to make some friends which helped her to feel comfortable in the whole class.
