Teaching Practicum II Carlos Melara

THIRD CLASS

DATE: Friday, March 22th, 2013

OBJECTIVE:
By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask and answer for introducing people related to school matter, using the vocabulary terms: CLASS MATE, BEST FRIEND, BASKETBALL COACH, MATH TEACHER, SCIENCE TEACHER, COMPUTER PARTNER; and the grammar chunk: who is/’s this?...This is my…….His/her name is…he/she is/’s my…; when performing a conversation in trios guided only by a questioner.

Third class took place with the same amount of students. However, they were some new students. I decided to start the class asking for the homework. Instead to check in their notebooks I asked them personally using the warm up Zip zap zoom. They ran like crazy with the aim to avoid answer the questions. They were honest at the time I asked whether they did the homework or not. As usual not everybody does the assignment. However, the rest helped the one who did not know the answer. It was successful and effective activity. Fortunately, we did not have accidents at the time the activity was developed. Nonetheless, I should have tried to do it in an open place.

The listening part was an achievable challenge for the students. I played the track about the short conversation. Indeed, the fact that the dialog had the images to match the letters with the numbers made the task easier for both, the students and I. I should have given them less time for doing, because they did the task collectively. The activity was correctly developed. Moreover, they showed me that their aural skills are well trained. It was a successful task.

I considered important to present a chart to be clear of what I wanted them to do. Fortunately, they got it. However, they did not have questions. I also took flash cards of a popular t.v. show to introduce the vocabulary. Their response was positive as I expected. They even repeated the names before I asked them to do it. It was almost natural when I said the first time, this is... so and so. Sudenly, the repetition occured naturally. I should have asked individually, instead to do it in general before. At the time I asked them individually with the technique of catching a ball, they already were aware of the answer. Nonetheless, some of them could forget of the topic, I noticed it was so much successful performance in both sides, students. And teacher.
