This time I would like to write about the last lesson imparted by group number 2, conformed by Nancy, Jacky, Gloria, Brenda, and Janeth. This lesson was developed on October 11th, 2015 and I personally believe, they had an outstanding performance.
I would like to star by saying that I loved the material they used for this lesson, it was really colorful and it was definitely appealing to students' eyes. They managed to make a very created variation of both the Welcome and Good bye song, they provided students with material somehow related to the lyrics of the songs, and students evidently enjoyed that.
Their topic was an extension of the topic we had presented in the previous class, "My Dream Job", this time the customs were given to students who represented a profession during the whole lesson. They had prepared a wide variety of activities to practice the content being studied, and their goal was to prepare students to be able to write sentences stating what they wanted to be. Something I really liked is that they took advantage of the fact that the classroom we were using is really big, and they created activities in which students could move around the classroom and have some fun. That is something I would love to do, however it is important to know that not always will we have the chance to have a room as big as the one we were using during our Teaching Practicum. Nonetheless, the idea was lovely, and it would be a matter of adapting those activities to the classroom that we have available.
Of course, there were minimal details that could be improved, one of them was the pronunciation, in my opinion, we need to be really careful when introducing vocabulary, and we need to emphasized in the pronunciation of words that are unknown for our students. Also, I noticed that some of the group members were not matching the level of energy of their partners, and it is important for us to maintain a good energy, and a positive attitude during the whole lesson.
At the end of the class, students seemed really satisfied with the lesson, and during the production staged, it was clear that they had reached their objective. Overall, it was a great experience to see this grouop present their lesson.
I think and most of your classmates agree that you showed a lot of improvement in this third lesson and you mentioned that this time you worked as a team. So, out of those comments we can conclude that all of you have the capacity to teach a good lesson just as similar or even better to the last one. I am sure you all will keep that in mind.
