Class observation from Saturday September 10th

 In this class I felt more confident and relaxed, this time I had the opportunity to meet my mentor teacher Ingrid Girón as it was going to be the first time with her I was not assigned to teach any stage of the lesson but I was asked to monitor students.

She started the class by asking what students did in the previous class some students gave their opinion and then she introduced the topic “The comparative”; she explained the rules and exceptions to form the comparison after, the explanation, she asked some students to go to the board and do some exercises.

After, the last exercise students did a listening activity about physical appearance when they finished, teacher Ingrid asked for a volunteer to stand up in front of the class and she asked students to describe their classmate. In my personal opinion that was a good activity before to do next one because then, pupils were asked to describe the physical appearance of one of their classmates so that, using that example was easier for students to describe their classmates.

For the next activity teacher Ingrid gave students a blank page because they were going to draw a monster. She gave instructions and said that she was going to describe a monster and Students had to listen to the teacher a draw it. I could notice that students enjoyed this activity and they were laughing a lot when they were comparing their drawings.

In the next activity students work in pairs and they write 5 questions about preferences when they finished, they were asked to go outside and ask 5 different teachers those questions; when they came back to the classroom they shared the answers. Finally, it was time for students to do the oral test students were in pairs and they had around one hour to study and prepared the conversation.
