Class observation from Saturday September 24^th

To begin with the class my mentor teacher started with a warm-up activity. She played “hangman” students enjoyed this activity, because it was like a competition. Also, it was a good idea before to start the class and introduce the new topics.

The class began and Teacher Ingrid worked with the book, she asked students to read a history from the book and complete some exercises, Students were asked to compare the answers and then share with the whole class. In this activity it would have been better to introduce the new vocabulary before to read the text because some students were lost with the meaning of some words but at the end the activity worked very well and students could do all the activities that they were told to do.

After that activity, it was time for me and Lily to teach a complete lesson plan. First, Lily started with the encounter, some strips of paper with should and shouldn`t were given to the students, Students pasted on the board the strips of paper with should and shouldn’t. Then she explained the negative/ positive and contraction of should and shouldn’t and introduced the questions “what should I do?” When she finished explaining the topic, it was time for students to practice some exercises, she asked students to complete a worksheet individually using should and shouldn’t. Students completed the worksheet individually, then, they compared answers with the person that was next to them. For the following activities, I was in charge of developing them.I asked students to choose a picture and write a sentence according to the picture that they saw. I told them to use Should or shouldn’t to write the sentences after that I checked the sentences with Student’s help.

When they finished the activity I asked them to write a problem

that they had, I told them that it could be real or imaginary. They wrote the Problem in a blank page, when they finished of writing I collected all the papers and asked students to work in trios. I gave to each group 3 problems and students had to write at least 5 advices per each situation.Then I asked students to read the problems and share the advices with the whole class.
