Class observation from Saturday,
September 3rd

Before the class started I introduced myself with the teacher and the students, I told them that I was going to be with them helping the teacher and helping them in the whole module. In that moment I could notice that some students were surprised about me but then, they were kind with me and I started asking them their names.
The class began and as it
was the first time that teacher Karla was in that classroom, she asked the name
of the eight students that were that day, after that she asked to her Ss if they
were good with verbs some of them said yes and others said no. Teacher Karla
wrote on the board some verbs in the base form and she asked students to pass
the marker and the student who got the marker had to go to the board and write
the verb in the past form, after all students passed to the board she checked
the answers, teacher Karla was surprised because all verbs were in the correct
form. When T Karla was developing this activity I could see that students were
excited to pass to the board because they knew all the verbs, in that moment I thought
that it was a good activity to check the background knowledge of students.
For the next activity T Karla
asked students to work in page 24 from the book American More 2. They were
asked to fill a chart with some information in the book, after that activity,
she introduced for questions: Where did you go on vacations? When did you go to
the mall? What did you do on vacations? And How long did you stay there?. She asked
one by one the questions and students answered and gave their opinion. In the
next activity students worked in the book, they had to put in order some
questions students work individually and when they finished I checked student’s
answers I asked them to compare the answer with the people that were next to
them; then I selected some students to read the sentences out loud to compare
with the whole class.
In the next activity
students were asked to stand up and ask 4 different classmates what they did
last vacation using the 4 questions that were introduced when they finish the
activity all students shared their answers.
