3rd Class (2nd Period)

Describe What I saw in my last class is that students did not understand the warm-up. Consequently, it didn’t work. After that I introduced some vocabulary related with perfect modals. It helped students to discuss with a partner about regrets they had in life. The class was boring since the beginning because they did not understand some vocabulary. However, some students talked too, so they did not pay attention.  The materials I used in the class were markers, the board and charts. The traditional arrangement was used in this class.
(Analyze)		Plan Action
Interpret	Generalize
The instructions were not clear so that students got confused when they had to develop the warm-up I have realized the importance of the warm-up. It helps to create a good environment in the class. I think the warm-up did not help the student’s learning because they started the class with a bad mood. They were boring, and that feeling was in the whole class.	Based on what I already know about warm-ups, I think it’s necessary to choose a good warm-up, and if it does not work try to join the warm-up with the next activity, so we can avoid having a bad environment during the whole class. Based on what I observed, I think students generally felt boring since the beginning of the class. Since the warm-up helps to motivate them, we have to be very careful as it created the environment of the class. I believe that giving instructions can help or hinder students learning because if the students do not understand the activity, the teacher cannot achieve the goals of it.	So, in the future, I will try to give better directions by using just three verbs. In future lessons I will try to join the warm-ups that doesn’t work with the next activity in order to avoid having a bad environment. The next time I teach this lesson, I will try to bring more material to make the class more interesting.
