lesson three

Date:   Friday, July 20th

Teachers: Fatima Gonzalez, Pilar Magaña, lilian , Karla Martínez

Topic: The fruits (banana, lemon, apple, grapes, strawberry, watermelon, pineapple.)

In this class, a lot of decoration was used. The classroom looked very nice. Teachers put a lot of effort on things such as: rings with the fruits, some fruits made of foami and so many other ornaments that students liked.

In this class, teachers were helping each other with the activities and students were comfortable with each other. Talking about the activities, this was the  second time that a song was used in the classroom and it didn´t work very well either, as in the first class, so once again, we could confirm  that songs can be helpful for classes that last more that 40 mins so that students can have more time to learn the song and  practice.  This was also the second time that an activity was done outside the classroom but a lot of distractions were calling the attention of students like, people passing by and so on. Moreover, the outdoor activity was not that clear for students at the beginning but after some  “MODELING” from the teacher and “PRACTICE”,  students were able to do the task successfully, so lot of pacient is needed and when the things seems not to work we have to wait because they will work soon. From this lesson we learned that “ MODELING”   before having students peform a task, is extremely important , and they need a lot of practice as well.
