Practice Two

Topic: Zoo Animals (Listening)

This is the second time that my gruop and I preseting the class. In my opinion was and exellent class ,because the objective was achive and we realized of the different technical problems that could be prestning in a class , but the most important is had an positive attitude to say mistakes are welcome,since thanks that we are going to become in exellents teachers on the future.  

Teacher Jonathan star his class using a biggest letter soup pasted on the boor and given child a little page to complete it, I like the acquitted that he transmits when some gays did not found any word in the letter soup ,because help them with a simple in his face. Also he was in charge of pre reading that from my point of view the ways understand essay the new words presenting by Jonathan that did not focus on grammar: it is and there are since was presenting on the last class and gays that previous knowledge fresh , but I enjoy a lot that he look relax with an excellent tone voice   that generate totally children participation.

  

The during-listening 1, 2 and 3 were presented by teacher Stephanie. She did an excellent work at the moment of giving the instructions, and modelling the gays transmitting them her confident and pretty attitude. In spite of, has technical problems with the first audio that was not strong enough to be understand, the second worship was clear but has too many words that confuse the gays , the important of checking and had preparing a good during activities as group is so impart ,since without them the post during  could be affective.  

The post during and wrap up was in charge by me teacher Erick .  Base on, some comments that read in the blogs focus  on zoo animals class with listening skill. I like to my classmates notice that give the best of me when I am modelling  ,smiling , walking around, and also helping the little ones that sometimes is difficult to them understand the instructions, but I would like to mention ,there were two things that I did not like about my class. The first, is when someone use a lot of energy could get tired easily and not are able to give a complete class as my case. The second, is that I did not use the eraser because I did not find it on the desk because there was a lot of material that obstructed my view. But at the end, the propose of the class was archive that they draw his favorite animal and presenting to the class using the grammar part teaching by the previous group.     

Finally , Each class taught and observed is a new experience that I enjoy a lot, due to observe new teaching techniques and the different attitudes and emotions that my colleagues transmit at the time of presenting their part of the classes . In conclution  , if we intend to transform the lives of children through a class by providing them with the necessary knowledge in this case of English so that they can use it to their combininece in the future we can achieve with hard work and in a team since what we teach the children will use it with another teacher.

I want to star with this phrase  ” The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery ”  by Mark Van Doren  ,this group continue learning and developing their skills as a good teachers , that learn about the  good aspects to each other, and at the same time the bad aspects too.  

Teacher Karen star the calss with the wam up about telling your partner the zoo animal that him or her  remember of last class   was excellent ,since every children remember a lest 3 of them   ,I like the way in the presentation how she explain the grammar it is with number 1 and they are with number 2 , also when a new student arrive late ,she explain again to everyone the topic and the words to him has clear the topic class. More over, Karen was monitory the gays every moment , ,furthermore what enjoy a lot is her capacity to catch their attention and never lose it , because at the end of the class even it was not her part children enjoy the activity of run to take the boll  , but we are humans and make little mistakes as  did our part faster, but it is considerable why at first she has few students, the other was  help a classmate in his part even though the teacher told us that we do not, or say saquen sus cuadernos ,instead of make a mimic that could be better did it that action , but the objective was achieve that them remember the last topic , and understand the presentation that is one very important part ,since she fall in that part could affect Jerry Mauricio ,and Moises part ,good job I was impressive how she improve a lot every time that gives a class

.

The second one was Moises that star giving the class with short , easy and understandable explanation that could be observed at the moment when next to tow minutes some gays finish the activity   , his voice projection was clear , smill all the time ,use the key words good job , excellent , great, give me a  moment . Furthermore ,walk a monitory the students , but what I love is that he spend time explaining to the little ones  , but which  Moises had to improve is the way to catch the first attention to the children ,because he star the class making the sound shhhhiiiii that could be disgusting for some of them, instead of that could make a sound with the market knocking the boor , or only clap threw  times , I know that write and looking the gays at the same time is difficult , but is necessary develop that skill,   since a new student can come and we do not notice as Moises case, and my last observation is that in one moment of the class two boys were fighting and mi classmate Moises he saw them ugly and shouted at them do not do that , instead of do it kindly , but at the end he talk with them calmed and explained that is not a good attitude ,in general his participation was worthy to admire.

The last one was Jerry Mauricio, I like his star because some of them was distracted and he catch their attention, the way how organize the teams was awesome ,since was fast and easy to understand for them , when he make a line to ask one by one about the animals  he crouch to be in front of them at the same level  , I really appreciate  that, and when finish the class child clap at the same time that Mauricio with a smile in their  faces ,something that Maury need to improve is the way to make a production ,because when the children pass to the poster  to say the animal them give the back to the others teems  and that generate deconcentrating instead of pass one by one to say it is a lion or there are zebras , and that part had to be induvial not have to be saying only to the teacher it is , there are like you did it ,had to be saying to all classroom. 

In conclusion , the group has improve noticeably ,due to at the end the achieve the goal   that was use the grammar part together with the zoo animals , since in his first class when they finish some of the kids do not be able to spell the sentence using the alphabet , but this time the students face was happy in each participation of them  , they enjoin the class and I am Shure that thanks to this excellent class the child are going to continue coming to classes ,because them learn in a funny way with many activities  that are not repeated.

    

Topic: Family members.

The last class that I observed focus  on riding  giving by Paola,Carlos, Manuel  was really impressive for me and grateful ,due to my classmates feature teacher’s  did  not any mistake instead of not having any experience giving classes to  children full English.

I would like to star with the good aspects that Paola has a the moment of making her wonderful participation, Firs she smiled to all the gays  and at the same time her voice projection  was sweet and understandable for the everyone , on the other hand she pay attention to all of them and if observed  someone need help she crouched down and giving personally instructions, also she used very good fiscal gestures    and finish her participation on time according to the lesson schedule.

The second one in participate was Carlos that did a wonderful work , since present the activity with good movements and that could observed at the moment of practice, when he read the history I like the way how he did it ,because his voice was clear ,stopping , and the question was he used about the history was shorts  , what I love is that  prefers to sit  with the children on the floor before doing both activities in the desks that little act motivates the children to continue coming to classes because it is something that is not usually done in schools or academies.

Finally, Manuel did ending the class very well because all the guys produce  that  he wants thanks to the instructions modelling excellent by Manuel ,also he stop to looking if some  students has problem on developed  the activity to give them a personality instructions , furthermore the key words used the key words awesome , great  , good and give me five that making the ending of class more great full for the children which can notice  and his faces.

In conclusion, the positive mentality ,the teamwork ,together with the correct organization of the information and activities can make any team move forward as the group 6 has show it at the time of teaching their class , I enjoy the participation of each from beginning to end are an inspiration and an example of future teachers  continue  like this congratulation.  

Four class  septiembre 09, 2018

Hello everyone today I am going to share my opinion about the good and bad aspects that I observed in the class giving by my classmates Claudia, Angie, Nehelly, and Brenda that is about Family members focus on grammar.

The class started with the teacher Claudia, she made the warm up. I liked her positive attitude, because she never show nervous to her students, all the time was smiling, and when she was giving the instructions all the time modelling what she said,  In addition to  what I like so much is the key work good job,great,awesome  that she used with some students in the activity moment. In addition to, she has to be focused on all the students because when a new student arrive teacher Claudia did not notice it and the girl felt confused at first but after a few minutes teacher Claudia noticed that had a new student immediately include it to the activity, Also forgot removed the materials at the end of her part and the next teacher was a little bit confuse if teacher Claudia was finish or not.

The second was the teacher Angie, she taught the grammar structure. we all make mistakes and learn on the way. One of the first thing that I do not like about Angie is that did not presenting her self, also waste a lot time pasting materials and the gays look bored , distracted , the other point which I feel affect her college part is waste a lot of time presenting a vocabulary lesson that in reality had to be a grammar lesson since she forgot to introduce her students in the verb to be and explain the different  types of subject , In addition to she make a little grammar mistake when writhe she is mother ,He is father instead of she is my mother , He is my father ,but what like is her relaxed attitude that kept all the time when giving the class.

The third was the teacher Nehelly, she made the practices. I like that she star with energy and enthusiasm, when she was giving the instructions modelling all the time, One of the parts that I enjoy a lot are the activations and the develop since she  include all the children in it and use colorful material and although it was not her part explained how to use the subject and the verb to be in a fast and clear way that helped  carry out their  activities , and from my point of view that was very impressive. On the other hand she gave very quickly the answers of the activity of completing the word and many children could not copy them, she could write them in the black bord or take them on a poster to be written by the students , Another thing that could be better in your future classes is the fact of using 5 to 7 exercises when realizing the activity because when you use many of them, it can be frustrated by the  students.

The last teacher in pass was the teacher Brenda , first I liked that she presents herself in a very confident, friendly way, with an appropriate tone of voice  that she maintained throughout her class, one of the aspects that most impressed is her safety at the moment of speaking to one that the children did not understand but she was like the octopus that thanks to the gestures of their hands they could understand everything as if it were a Spanish class, Also use an album with colorful images that generated happiness in all the kids who did the activity according to what I could observe, the only bad aspect that can be observed is that not only could she make a girl perform the production and some children wanted to pass too but it is understandable since she did not manage well the time

To summarize I liked how they developed the class and I learned new activities that I could use in a few years in my future classes, in addition the group in general demonstrate a great work as a team because despite being their part they were checking the time to tell her  partner when to stop, and when a child was to fall from the desk one of them stopped him, and paid attention to the technical problems of their classmates  for when the next one would be explained better and not affect the class in general.

Teaching practicum 2

               


                                                Week one. Second class, colors and numbers.

Teaching the second class about colors and numbers for me was an experience very gratifying despite only imparting part of the production and the wrap up.

 I feel very nervous at the beginning, but as I was teaching the class my nerves disappeared.

the first class and the  second class which my gouup and I impart is very important ,since we impart a base knowledge such as the colors and numbers that will be used in their future classes to understand references, context or even instructions in activities ,also provide an idea to each student of how the other classes are going to be.

In my experience teaching a class in English without being able to use any words in Spanish was something new for me ,and I think that also trying to understand what I and my future teacher colleagues wanted to say was something new an difficult  for most of our little students, but what I like a  lot is the attitude of students when participating in all activities they  sang, played shark are coming as a group without excluding anyone, repeated after the teachers the words that were taught in the class ,and followed perfectly the commands to stand up  and sit down taught in the first class, I aslo like how my partner and future teacher Steffany Moreno maintained eye contact with each of the students and the security that she had at the time of clapping loudly to get attention of some distracted students   Jonathan Pineda at the moment  to be part of the circle in the activity of shar are coming and not only to tell the children that they had to do ,also I liked that in the activity of pasting the colors in the correct place  where the word of the color was He  incorporate again to all the children without excluding anyone and always maintained a very kind attitude, and about me like the idea to getting the students attention with a puppet , becouse they saw me as part of them ,and I liked the attitude and positive energy that I maintained until the end of the class where all the children sang happily the colors and ballong song. 

Obviously also due to the lack of experience at the moment of teaching classes as a group, we also had some difficulties when teaching the class as to make the students understand the instructions of the activities that we as teachers wanted to do since we do not use the appropriate fiscal gestures to transmit an understandable instruction, the other aspect is for the sutuation mentioned before we are forced to use Spanish or a combination of English and Spanish so that the children understand and can continue the activity, but it is something that even if it is bleating to be the first class, it must be avoided from the beginning for  not to get used to.

Finally for me gave that class was a good personal experience 

where if can change something obviously I would like the fact of not carrying papers with the question Is this your favorite color for each one of the students in the production or the simple fact of not changing my voice  when using the puppet, but I  learned from my mistakes  and also learn of the positive and negative aspects  of each my classmates this first week of the subject practice teaching with children It was very rewarding because I can experience for myself the different factors and situations that can be given at the time of teaching a class that can not be written down when creating a lesson plan.
