Class #4: Saturday Sept 24th, 2016

 This Saturday, I felt nervous because I was my turn to teach a class of 1 hour. I prepared my reading lesson Unit 5 B it was about the people who works deep under New York City.

T Lily prepared a warm up. T gave a piece of paper to each pair. Ss had to say the color that they saw even if they had the word with different color. At the beginning, Ss did not get the idea but when they started to practice they did it well.

In the pre stage, I asked Ss to open the book and looked the page 75. An S read the instruction. Ss looked a photo in page 76 and they guessed the information that they would read.

After, I presented the vocabulary; Ss matched the words with the definitions. We checked if it was ok. I ask to read the word with the definition to each students who pasted it. One of them was wrong and an S helped me to correct it. Ss practiced the pronunciation.

Ss worked on page 80. Ss completed the information with the vocabulary presented in the previous activity.

I gave to each students, this paper contained a number the Ss who had the same numbers worked together. Ss started to read the passage   “New York’s Underside”. They had to switch for reading each paragraph.

In the next activity, Ss created a new title for passage. a pair said "Dangerous job in a tunnel" I observed that they are creative for it because they did it quickly.

Ss worked in the book on page 78. Ss showed reading comprehension to answer questions.

After that, Ss made three specific questions about the reading. Ss made two circle one inside of the other. One of them walked and when I said stop the person who had in front asked and answered the questions.

In the last activity, Ss created a new job. They supposed that they do it. They explained why the job is dangerous.

T gave names of fruits to all Ss those were banana, strawberry and mangoes.  T told Ss a story suddenly T said “banana”. The last students who got up answered a question that the rest of the group asked him/her. I saw that some of them did not know what ask. I think give them key words to encourage. For example “Food” Do you like Salvadorian food?  They can create this type of question.

T Lily presented the vocabulary. She pasted the definitions and Ss had to match with the words. They checked if all of them were correct. After that, they practiced pronunciation.

In the next activity, T asked them what came to their mind when they listened the word “SEA” they said beach, sunny, fish, etc.

Ss did the exercises on page 84. Ss looked the photo and they answered T or F to each statement about the coral reefs.

Ss looked the title on page 84 they thought they would read about and checked it. Ss shared the answer with the whole group.

T played the reading. Ss checked the pronunciation. In addition, T asked for new words.

After that, Ss worked on page 88. They showed reading comprehension. They answered question relate to the reading. They shared all the answers with the group.

Finally, Ss had oral evaluation. They had not seem nervous. I think they were relax. They invented a place; they had to describe what it had inside and outside. Moreover, they drew the place. They had to use for vocabulary words.
