(#2 Adjectives)

Describe
At the beginning of my class, I saw that my students were looking at me like if they were waiting for a test. I heard that some of they were practicing some dialogues that the teacher gave them. Moreover, when I started to teach they paid attention to me and helped me with the activities. They are very good students and they like to participate in class. I arrange the desk in a horse shoe in order to develop a reading comprehension in order to introduce the topic “Identify and Describe People”; so that, the reading were about famous people like Messi, Shakira, Obama, etc. I proved that incorporating information that they already know is better for they to acquire knowledge. Furthermore, I used a word search puzzle in which the students found the list of the word, and then the students passed to mark on a big chart that I pasted on the board. It really worked because they memorized at least 15 adjectives.  This class was better that the first one because both the students and me enjoyed the class.
(Analyze)
Plan Action
Interpret
Generalize

Because they are kids, they like the kinesthetic activities type. So that, we played “sea/sand” as a warm up in order to cheer students up.

Students learn better when they do what they really like.

I think that teachers, when teaching beginners, should incorporate active activities.


Based on what I already know about beginning with a warm up, I think that some students acquire information while playing.

Based on what I observed, I think students liked to learn with colorful charts in grammar and others.

I believe that praising students plays an important role in their participation.

So, in the future, I will keep doing the same work as today because I noticed that they enjoyed the class.

In future lessons I will create more colorful charts.

The next time I teach this lesson, I will include active warm ups.

In future experiences I will also include more activities to develop in groups.
