Class #2 : Saturday 10th September, 2016

T greeting to students. After, Ss made an activity; they made a circle. They had to throw the ball to other classmate. The S who throw the ball, he/she had to say one of those words “water, air or earth”. The person, who had the ball, she or he had to say an animal depend of the words for example (S1 threw the ball and said “Water”, S2 who had the ball said “Fish”). I really like this activity. They enjoyed it.

In the next activity, Ss received a paper with a question and they had to ask to other classmate. For example, s1 ask the question can you say “hello” in Spanish. The S2 answered the question and he/she said “hola”. This activity was good because they showed interested to answers and did it.

 My colleague and I helped T to past the words and the definitions on the board. T asked for a number from 1 to 16. The group who guessed, they had the possibility to match the word with the definition. Ss felt confused with the definitions of some words because the word “Something” (Sth) was abbreviated. I think is better to write all the word or explain before the meaning. In addition, they practiced the pronunciation.

 Ss worked in the activity from the book related with the vocabulary. I liked it because they did it. After, they compared with the person next to them. Also, they made 2 sentences in pairs using three vocabulary’s words and they wrote on the board. T checked if it was ok. Ss showed interested to use the new vocabulary that means how much they learned.

After the break, they played stop the bus. They worked in groups of four. T said a letter, for example, “s” they had to complete the categories using a word that start with the letter “s”. The group who had more points was the winner. I could see that Ss worked as a group and they tried to do it as fast as they could.

Ss worked in page 59. Ss read the instructions. They did the exercises and they shared answers. If someone had the wrong answer, her/ his classmates helped her/him.

They went to see presentations of the module 16. I could see that they were impressive for the way that the Ss of module 16 talked and English. This helped to motivate them.  

 They came back to the classroom and they listened an audio and read at the same time. Ss worked in page 62 they had to answers according with the previous reading. Ss passed the ball to find a victim. The person who had the ball shared the answers. Ss worked in the activity in pairs. The identified the main or supporting idea of the exercises and wrote “M” means main idea and “S” supporting idea. They felt enthusiastic for sharing the answers. They understood the activity.  

T enumerated each S with number 1 or 2. The number 1 was the “taxy” and number 2 the “driver”. The taxi closed the eyes and the driver had to guide the taxy. When T said green, they had to walk. If the T said red, they had to stop and if she said yellow, they had to change partners. They enjoyed it. Something that came to my mind while observing this activity was the noise. T controlled it and Ss were careful in it.  

Ss read the reading one more time and they closed the book. Then, Ss divided boys and girls. They played a board game.  They had to throw the dice. After, T asked a question if the Ss answered correctly, they advanced according with the number of the dice.  This activity was awesome because they practiced all that they have learned.

Note: In this class, something that I like is that Ss like to participate in all the activities. T encourage them to do a good job and when they have a question she help them in the better way.
