Class observation  from Saturday, October 22^nd

The class began and teacher Ingrid started with a listening activity about natural disasters. Students completed some exercises then they compare answers. When they finished these activities students watched some videos about natural disasters to get familiar with the topic. Students were given with a worksheet and they did a matching activity. After those activities she explained “the past passive”. Students were asked to complete some exercises then they compare the answers.

For the next part of the class I had the opportunity to teach a reading class I started with a survey. I asked students to stand up to complete a survey about music. I asked students to look for 2 different classmates and ask the 5 questions. Then I asked students to share their answers. Later I selected some students to do a matching activity. I asked students to match the definition with the word; I checked Student’s answer with help of students. I explained the meaning and I gave some examples.

For the next activity students were given with a work sheet and a text about music. I asked them to read the text and then complete some exercises about the reading, when they finished the activities they compare the answers with some classmates. To conclude, students were asked to create a conversation to talk about their favorite artists using the passive voice; some students were selected to pass in front of the class and practice the conversation. When I finished my class, students went to the lab to practice listening and when they came back to the classroom it was time to do the oral evaluation.
