Describe
What I observed in the first 3 minutes of the class

However, they understood the stories, and they were able to talk about them.
The materials I used were markers, the board. Moreover, the seating
arrangement was the traditional

I think that the seating arrangement has to be
implemented according to the activities that will be applied in the class
The seating arrangement is important because it can
help to achieve the purpose of the activity.
This can help students’ learning since the teacher
can monitor students easily so that he can check If they have mistakes
|
Based on what I already know about seating arrangement,
I think each seating arrangement helps to monitor students and it helps.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
work better if the seating arrangement is different
I believe that seating arrangement can help students
learning because according to the activity students can work in a different
way which can call their attention, and motivate them to work.

So, in the future, I will change the seating
arrangement according to the activities.
In future lessons I will
The next time I teach this lesson, I will use the

2nd class- 3rd Period
First Class- 3rd period
Describe
What I noticed in the first 3 minutes of the class
was that students were motivated. And that is something that helped to have a
good environment in the class. Students participated a lot since they knew
some things about the topic which was passive voice. The materials I used
were the board, markers, and a chart in order to explain grammar. The seating
arrangement I used was the traditional one.

I think students were really motivated in the class
since they like to speak about interesting topics. In this case, they talk
about animals’ facts, and they were speaking a lot about the topic
Motivation is really important because of it depends
if the students will work as it should be in all the activities.
I think motivation helps students’ learning, but the
teacher has to encourage them to speak in the class, and to participate.
|
Based on what I already know about motivation, I
think teachers have to motivated in order to motivate students.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
participate more in the classes if they are motivated.
I believe that the teacher must encourage students
to participate in the class as sometimes they feel bored.
|
So, in the future, I will encourage students to work
on the activities by giving them interesting topics
In future lessons I will bring more speaking
activities so that they can speak more about the topics
The next time I teach this lesson I will explain the
grammar part by giving the grammar in context instead of teaching the
patterns

3rd Class (Second Period)
Describe
What I observed in the
first 3 minutes of the class was that students enjoyed the warm-up, and at
the same time, they made a reviewed of the previous topic. I think, the
environment was good since the beginning of the class. They participated a
lot in all the activities. And the materials I used were a chart to explain
grammar, markers, pieces of paper, and fill in the blanks.

I made a good
decision choosing the warm-up because students really liked it. And it helped
to create a good environment in the class. Moreover, they made a review of
the previous class, and they learned new vocabulary.
Creating a
good environment in the class is really important to have a meaning learning
in the whole class. If students feel motivated to learn, they will
participate.
The good
environment helped students to be focus in the grammar explanation. They felt
comfortable to give example, and opinions in this part of the class.
|
Based on what I already
know about grammar, I think teacher has to allow students to help to create
examples.
Based on what I observed,
I think students generally had a good time in the grammar part since they
provided their own examples, and they had fun when doing it.
I believe that giving some
freedom to speak in the grammar part can help students learning since
sometimes they don’t understand the explanation, but they understand when
help to create examples.
|
So, in the future, I will make
students participate in the grammar part by helping to make examples.
In future lessons I will be
more enthusiastic by encouraging students to participate in the class.
The next time I teach this
lesson, I will prepare more speaking activities.
In future experiences I
will be careful to manage my time

Second class (2° period)
Describe
What I noticed in the first 3 minutes of the class was
that students were kind of bored while doing the warm-up which was lips
reader. Some students were talking, and some others were paying attention.
The environment was nice. They participated in the activities. The arrangement of the classroom was the

I used complex sentences in the warm-up, so students
were frustrated since they didn’t guess any sentence.
I think that we have to adequate the sentences
according to the kind of warm-up we will develop.
This is really important because activities cannot work
because they are not adequate for Student’s level.
|
Based on what I already know about explaining
grammar, I think teachers have to make them participate in this part of the
class.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
pay more attention in they are involved in the grammar part
I believe that involving students in the grammar
section can help students to have a meaningful learning
|
So, in the future, I will involve my students in the
grammar part by encourage them to create their own sentences.
In future lessons I will adequate the sentences to
the students’ level.

Class 1 (2° Period)
Describe
What I noticed in the first 3 minutes of the class
is that students were excited about playing the question web. Most of the
students were paying attention to what students were saying. The environment was really nice since
students were participating in the activities. The arrangement of the
classroom was the traditional. I used markers to play noughts and crosses.
Moreover, I used some pieces of paper with some questions in the warm-up
activity.

Some students were lost when they were doing the
activities.
I think directions are the engine to move the
activities in the correct way to achieve the purpose.
If we want that our students learn, it is necessary to
prepare clear directions for each activity. As a result, the students will
learn by achieving the purpose of the activity.
If students do not understand directions, the
purpose of the activity will not be achieved. Consequently, students will not
learn.
|
Based on what I already know about directions, I
think they should be short.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
understand directions if they are shorter.
I believe that shorter instructions can help students
learning because they are easy understandable.
|
So, in the future, I will implement shorter
instructions.
In future lessons I will encourage students to
participate in the class.
The next time I teach this lesson, I will use 3
verbs when giving directions
In future experiences I will also include charts to
make my class more attractive.

Speaking activities help to create a good
environment in the class, and at the same time students have fun and practice
the language.
Speaking activities is the most important part when
learning a language since it helps students to not feel afraid of speaking,
and also be more fluent when speaking
This help students to think in English instead of
thinking in their native language. Also, they develop a good fluency and loose
the fear of speaking in another language.
|
Based on what I already know about speaking
activities, I think teacher should apply more speaking activities in their
classes.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
love speaking activities since they have fun in the classroom
I believe that speaking activities can help students’
learning because they learn English while they have fun at the same time.
|
So, in the future, I will apply more speaking
activities
In future lessons I will create a chart to explain
grammar
The next time I teach this lesson, I will prepare
less written activities.
In future experiences I will also include more funny
activities.

2nd class (First Period)
Describe
What I saw in the first 3 minutes of the class is
that students were really excited about playing the game Do you love me? They
really loved that game. Also, this warm-up helped the students to start the
class with a good mood. The materials I used were markers, the board, and sheet of papers.

Students feel tired or bored before to start the
class, so the warm-up helps motivate students in the whole class.
The warm-up is really important in the class because
it can help not only for motivating students but also for having a feedback
of the previous class.
The warm-up helps students and the teacher to create
a good environment, so they feel free to participate or to make comments
about the class.
|
Based on what I already know about the students’
attention, the activities can work or fail. If the students are not focus on
the activity, they will not understand what they have to do, so the purpose
of the activity fails.
Based on what I observed, I think students generally
paid attention to the activity, so the purpose of it was fulfilled.
I believe that paying attention to the activities
can help or hinder student learning because an activity is made with the
purpose of learning a specific topic. However, if the students do not pay
attention to the activity, they won’t understand. And the purpose of the activity won’t be
achieved.
|
So, in the future, I will give shorter and clearer
instructions
In future lessons, I will establish some rules for
my classes.
The next time I teach this lesson, I will bring
charts for grammar explanations
