Diego: He is very friendly and kind with the kids. Before the class, he played rock, papers, scissors with the kids. He had a very nice start.
Warm-Up: Review of the vocabulary presented in the last class.
The T paired SS and they played rock,paper, scissors. The one who lost was going to be asked the name of a body part.
This activity was pretty interesting, it showed that the kids are competitive and like to participate. However, the kids did not look like if they learned the vocabulary that was presented in the last class.
Presentation: Introduce the grammar.
The grammar was "I have/I don't have". He presented the grammar using flash cards with vocabulary and signs with the grammar and the numbers 1 and 2. Then, he asked each student to go to the board and paste a flash card next to the most appropiate option. Also, students could decide which number was the most appropiate for the sentence. (e.g. in "I have 2 heads", a student changed the number "2" for the number "1")
The presentation was really good and students seemed to understand.
+During his presentation he said "I don't have two foot" and the correct way is "I dont have two feet"
Practice 1: Identify and pronounce the body parts.
Students were asked the names of the parts, while using the grammar structure, and each student pasted a body part on the board in order to create a whole body.
+T was asking "how many x do you have?" he did not present that question and students did not seem to understand.
Kim: She had a good start, but she could have raised her voice more because students were no paying attention at all. Fortunately, that was just at the beggining.
Production: Apply the grammar they learned so that they say the body parts they have.
The T asked SS to sit on the floor. Each student was given a flashcard and T was asking the name of the body part that they had on their flashcards. This was a Domino activity.
This activity was good to have students speaking, but they were not using the grammar. The objective was to have students using the grammar they were taught.
+ Kim was asking "How many X do you have?" and "what is this?", as I stated before, they did not present such questions.
Wrap-Up: Review the parts of the body.
SS were presented a song.
That song was good. Using songs to teach is a very good way to have our students learning vocabulary and grammar structures.
+Kim misspronuonced the word "ear", she said "er".
Teaching grammar is a real challenge. We will have to practice more in order to get better teaching grammar lessons. I could see how my classmates had improved, and I have to say they improved a lot. This experience, just like all the other classes they have taught, will be helpful for them to become better teachers. Generally, it was a very good class.
Note: I already shared this link, but I will do it again just in case. It contains lots of grammar activities that you can do in your classes.
