Hello everyone, today I'm going to be talking about the second class of Karla, Kevin and Marisol. This is their decond and last class and in general they did it in a very professional and excelent way.
Karla
She was the first to develop the class and there's a lot of good things to talk about her. She taught a lot of new vocabulary and that's great because the kids understood every single word. And as the first time she looked very confident and sure about what she was doing. But I noticed a little bit of more angryness in her voice.
Kevin
I think he did a very good job, but I couldn't observe too much about his performance because I was with two boys outside when he developed literally all his part. So I'm really sorry. I heard from the feedback that there was a part in which he did something with the lesson plan that was not acurrate. In any way, he has always demonstrated to be very focused on what he does.
Marisol
I think her weak point is the giving of instructions, that may be the point where she has to work more. She got mixed up with an activity, that even us as the watchers couldn't understand what she meant. But as she saw that this was taking so long, she did a good job by telling them to finish the activity at home. At the beggining I thought this was bad, but perhaps it wasn't. Then she always left one of the kids to work alone, and I don't think this can be good, when he sees that everyone else is in group. But a point on favor may be that she did a great monitoring.
Things that I could have changed.
In general I don't have to much to say, that was a good class and I would change just the thing of getting stick to the perfect lesson plan they made and see that the instructions are well given. And to take care that nobody is left alone.
Things to improve.
I already mention all the things that they have to improve in the future. But I will add: more smiles to the kids and care for them. Also the instructions point is very important... So, that one is the most important.
That's it partners, see you next week.
hello Daniel I just read your blog and I agree with you in the part you say was a very good class and also in the part you say that each of them have to improve a little bit of Karla does not say anything but there is always a few mistakes that have to improve as when you say Karla's voice to the best she is like that but if you can improve well she did a good performance in the class like the others although Marisol does not subo explain very well a of the activities but otherwise I think they did it well.
ResponderEliminarHello Daniel. You are right when you say they have to smile because they were a little bit serious, in the case of Marisol it was because she was sick. I think they did a really good job even though they did not develop one of the durings, but maybe it was because they want to develop the post stage too, and because of he was nervous, he forgot that te important stage was the during. However they have a good attitude. I think that they will improve in their next practices.
ResponderEliminarHello Daniel, let me tell you that I agree with you because they did a good job and also I think that we need to be careful with the instructions because in some case can be a little bit confusing for the children. On the other hand, we need to respect the lesson, since this will be affected in the development of the learning. Overall, I consider that they did it good the energy that each of them put it was good. Just in the case of Marisol didn't was it but I think that was because she was sick. I liked read your blog.
ResponderEliminarI couldn't agree more with you Daniel in the part that you said that Marisol left a kid alone; basically she split that guy from the rest of the class. In my opinion I suggest to force the kids to make the groups. Sometimes they do not want to get together because one kid wants to work with a specific person, but we as teachers need to push them to follow the rules. I could see that the boy worked perfectly alone; however, it is necessary to develop some activities in group because students develop their social skills.
ResponderEliminarIn general terms it was an awesome class. I liked most of the activities.
Congratulations to the group.
