7:30am - 11:30am
This time, we had the opportunity to observe a class of our mentor teacher Ani.
Activity #1. "Handman"
T.Ani made 2 groups, she drew lines base on the quantity of letters that the word had, (all the words were adjectives of personality) students had to guess the word. each group had 2 opportunities to said a letter or the word if they had an idea of it, if they said a letter that was wrong, T.Ani wrote it in one side of the board, but if they said a right letter they had one more chance.
I had to say that it was different from the way that I knew it, but I really like the way in which T.Ani did it, because, she had control of all her students, also, I could notice that she gave chance to the students who never participate in activities because they are shy or afraid to make mistakes in that way everybody were participating.
Activity #2. Vocabulary- Adjectives of personality.
Teacher explained the meaning of each adjective that she presented in the previous game, then she asked to students to go to a page from the text book to practice by doing some exercises.Then, they compare and discuss the answers with the whole class.
T.Ani explained very well the meaning of each word, she model and made gestures and mimics to have everything clear. To be honest, that's something that I need to improve.
Activity #3. Listening.
Students listened to an audio to complete an exercise from the text book, they compared and shared answer with the whole class.
T.Ani had some problems with the audio, she couldn't find her flash driver, but fortunately, TA.Abi had the audio in her flash driver.so she helped to T.Ani. I could notice that, students were asking about the meaning of some adjectives that they didn't seen in the game, I think that the content in the book it's very useful but sometimes it's too much information and it's difficult to cover everything.
Note: It was a good class, however, many things could happen as the problem that T.Ani had, but as teacher we need to be prepare and try to do everything that we can do to continuous our class, because the most important thing it's that our students learn something new.
PROJECTS
Students presented their projects in which they had to create a talk show about superheroes, using grammar structures like can/can't and comparatives and superlatives. They were very creative with their customs and they did a really good job!
