Class Description

Third class – Friday, September 25^th, 2015

As previous classes, I wrote the date, the objective and the agenda. In this class the teacher came late; however, I started the class without her developing the warm-up inside the classroom because the weather was rainy. After the warm-up, I showed students some power point presentations about beauty and appearance; then, the students discussed about the images, and share their opinions with the whole class. The next activity was a board game where students practiced about quantifiers; it took some time. After that, I developed a wrap- up, and it was a role play; students performed the situations that I gave them, and they did it better than my expectations because they lived their characters.

I think that to create a good rapport with the students is really important and useful because they enjoy the class, and have the enough confidence to ask; moreover, the teacher has to create activities where students feel identified in the context, that is an extra motivation for them, for  they perceive the information that teacher provides them is meaningful.

Based on what I already know about monitoring activities, I think that our duty as teachers is to supervise the work of the students, and at the same time we are sending a message that they are important for us because if we take care of them in the class, we will realize about students’ progress.

For future classes, I will use digital visual aids because it is cheaper than printed visual aids; in addition, I will use role-plays because it is a good way to know the progress of the students in the area of speaking.
