Today was my third class with this group. This class was better than the onther ones in this group. since I watched myself on the video and I realized my class could be more interactive I prepared more dynamic activities and I saw students response was better they had a lot of fun and practiced a lot. First I pasted on the board a drawing of a bedroom with some objects on it. Students had to describe to some partners who couldnt see the picture. That was a funny moment and they enjoyed it a lot. I also had some filling in the blanks and writting activities.
I tryed to vary and to cover each skill. At the end they played a boardgame. It`s so nice to see how they learn by playing they didn`t even know they were learning a lot. I felt so happy because finally I saw what I wanted. The entire class flowed so natural. I`m learning many things on how to adapt activities to each group. Also that no all the activities will work for all the groups. The feedback was not what I expected because this time I saw students learned and practice a lot but the teacher didn`t mention any good thing. She just wrote the mistakes and bad things. I guess she is rigth and I need to see a video of this class so I will see what she saw.
Despite that, I`m very optimistic for next class because it will be the last one!..I mean because I will try to do an extra effort :-) good luck everybody and congrats for the ones who already finished!!
It's pretty interesting that you already did some effective changes after analyzing your video, sounds as tough that gave you nice results, congrats!
ResponderEliminarThere you see the advantages of the video! I know that it is difficult to see ourselves teaching, but I think that it is the only way we actually realize what we are doing.
