Family & Friends´ Class Group 2

The family

Part 1 (fatima, lyli tobar)

To start with we want to congratulate you because of your participation, it was noticed that you put a lot of interest in the materials you prepared for the class and the activities were completely different to the ones we have being using. The idea of giving students a start for their participation was very helpful in the way of motivating them; we believe that no matter how difficult a task is, but if students are motivated for doing it, they will try their best in performing it and that is exactly what happened with Maylin who is hardly always serious; however, for this lesson she was participating very happy and active. Something else which is important to mention is the fact that; although, the class was very calm in the way that there was not too much physical movement as in other times in which children are to run from one place to another, they keep on performing every task and doing it very well.

Besides, we would like to mention that more repetitions of the vocabulary presented should have been included in order for the students to internalize it.

Part 2 (pilar magaña, karla)

Despite of the fact that children were tired because this was their second class, Pilar managed it very well by making all students participate in the questions she was making, such as; what animal is this?, is this a dog?, etc.  after pilar’s participation, karla gave each student a sheet of paper with the drawing of an animal and students were to paste little pieces of paper inside of the drawing; after that, karla asked them what animal is that? During this part of the lesson some students were out of control because they were not obeying karla’s instructions, but that was because they were really bored and they needed an activity that made them move or at least do something different. Something to learn from this situation was that we were able to see how the students’ mood changed from being tired and bored to be very energetic and happy when the activity changed.

Generally, both lessons were interesting; it was evident that we have improved a lot since the first class. One more time, congratulations for all you guys!!!
