EVALUATION
DATE: Friday, April 19th, 2013
OBJECTIVE:
By the end of the lesson
SWBAT present an object of someone’s possession, using the vocabulary
“Backpack, camera, pencil case, umbrella, notebook, hat, bag, eraser, brush,
address book, pen, book;” and the grammar structures “This is someone’s…../that
is someone’s…../that’s someone’s…..”
The
sixth class was very productive. I must
confess that before the class started, I was very anxious. However during the
previous explanation, I noticed that most
of them had understood the activity.
There were some questions during the explanation. Later, I asked them to stay
in pairs to do the oral exam. I decided to do the pairs based on the results obtained in the previous evaluation. They were
some students with a high grade paired with the ones that had gotten a lower grade. I
decided to arrange the team like that so they supported each other. After
that I gave them some minutes for practicing the dialogue . Finally, I started
with the exam. I think that I could repeat the same process previously
descripted. However, If I would change
something, It could be either to ask them to perfom the task
infront
of everybody or only infront of me. I would have decided it base on the proficiency and
the time that the activity demands.

Hello Carlos! First of all, I want to congratulate you because of the great job that you have been keeping through this whole semester... Then, I want to say that as as one of your mate, I admire your work and patience for your students. I had the chance to observe three of your classes and believe me, were I had been in your place, I think that I would not have known what to do to manage such a big group of students! Since we had the two groups mixed! Sometimes we have the activities planned and in the real practice, when we realize for some reason that it is not going to work, we should think about an plan B. And that is exactly what you did in some of the lessons of yours I observed.
ResponderEliminarI hope you enjoyed this practicum, and most important, that you learned alot in the real teaching world, which I am sure you did!
Good Luck! =D
Hello Carlos! I liked your comment that says that it is not the same planning the activities than performing them, this is because this happened to me, I planned one activity which I thought would work very well with the students, but guess what?, it did not work well, the students did not enjoy the activity maybe because of the differences in ages among some students, or because they did not know each other very well; the thing is that I had to stop the activity and change it. Something I learned from the situacion I faced was that, as you said, it is not the same to plan something than to put it into practice, that is why having a plan B is extremely important, and that is exactly what I suggest you to do, to always think about a plan B in order to avoid inconviniences.
ResponderEliminarI do appreciate your comments. Sincerely, I am going to consider your opinion to improve my following teaching experiences
