Describe
What I saw during this slice of lesson is that my
students were talking about a listening exam that they had. When I started my
class, I decided to play B.K.B by forming small groups. I noticed that they
really like kinesthetic games. Then, I was explaining the use of CAN for possibility,
and they paid me attention when explaining the new grammar structure. In
order to practice the explanation, I developed a speaking activity, and I
noticed that this activity worked very well because they remembered what they
had studied the previous class and in the new one. I arranged the desks first
in a horse-shoe. I used some colorful charts and a fill in the blank activity.
Today was a nice class.

I think that students seem the grammar explanation interesting
because they were helping me a lot.
In order to avoid being boring when explaining
grammar, teachers must use colorful charts.
I think this is important because this make the
environment more enjoyable and interactively.

Based on what I already know about beginning the
class with a warm up, it is proved that students tend to cheer themselves up.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
like to participate when they are praised.
I believe that confidence helps to keep a good flow
in the class.

In future lessons I will incorporate kinesthetic
activities.
The next time I teach this lesson, I will incorporate
groups work.
In future experiences I will also include listening
activities.

Excellent, Rosa! Using colorful charts is a good technique for explaining grammar. It makes students be attentive to the class and it helps them understand things better. Moreover, what you say about warm ups is true. They really help to set students' mood.for the class. Therefore, we, as teacher, have to look for nice warm up activities. Personally, I think that students prefer moving or kinesthetic ones. In addition, your idea of including group activities is great because it would make the class more interactive and amusing.

ResponderEliminarHi, Rosa. I think it's just nice that you recognize one multiple intelligence your Ss have in common which is Kinesthetic Intelligence. Hence, you'll be aware that you need to provide Ss with interactive and kinesthetic activities. Furthermore, the materials play an important role in the class because it attracts Ss's attention mostly if they are colorful as you stated. Even a simple chart can promote many great results like activation of Ss schemata, but if you take your time decoring and presenting a well-done chart.
