Thanks God I'm done with the teaching practice of this period! Yuju!
I’m not only very happy because I’m done with this period, but also because I did it very well and I also gained new and valuable experiences in regard with the classroom management.
About this experience:
What went well?
Thanks God, almost everything went well since the first activity till the last one.
For the class, I developed a PDP listening about UFOs and aliens, so it was very interesting.
For the pre-activity, I pasted a chart on the board with a few questions which ss discussed in pairs
and later I checked them by eliciting answers in general.
For the during-activity, I gave ss a multiple choice questionnaire, which only had 5 questions, and I asked them to read it silently so that they get familiarized with it and find the new words; then, I explained the ss the new words and I played the audio three times while they underlined the answers. Finally, I checked the answers orally.
For the post-activity, I put some pieces of color paper (red, purple and yellow) on a desk and I asked ss to picked one of them in order to have the ss performing in pairs different role-plays. Then, I pasted on the board a chart containing three different role-plays, one for each color; thus, the ss who chose the red color would act out a different situation from the other two colors. Take a look to the pic:
ROLE-PLAYS
I gave ss enough time to create their “sketches” as I helped them with their vocabulary.
Finally, just four pairs performed their situation because of the time.
What didn’t go so well?
Thanks God, almost nothing; the only thing that the teacher told me was that I should have the shy students participating inasmuch as in all the activities that implied participation, especially in the role-play, only the extraverted ss participated.
And I’m totally in agreement with that nevertheless when you are a practitioner you have your time limited to developed different activities; thus, it becomes time-consuming trying to have shy ss participating because you have to tell them a few times and be patient till they decide to do it, in my opinion.
On the other hand, as a teacher I know that it’s a must; it’s my responsibility to have all my ss working hard and participating equally.
Ok that's all. hanks for all your previous comments and for the new ones beforehand :D
What up D! I see that it was a very organized class. Plus, the topic was pretty interesting (under my view point). You made the class very participative; you were only the facilitator, and that is great. The variation of activities were nice. I seew you put a lot of effort for this class. I share the same thoughts about shy students. We cannot stop by because of the time; nevertheless, we can look for activities that onvolve all the students with no exception.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Nice content Deysi; however, you'd better change the background color or the color of the font. Usually the background color is soft, and the letters are a bit colorful but not of the same color.
Blessings!!
Thanks for your comments my friend, I'll take them into account :D
DeleteBlessings!! :)
Hello! Your class was very systematic since you had a series of activities very well planned. You also involved the entire class which is good and says that you know how to make them participate. Your role as teacher was just to make the content easier, and I congratulate you since you did an excellent job. About shy students, try to look for other ways to involve them and make them participate. I really liked your class, and I encourage you to do well as you have so far.
