2nd class- 3rd Period

Describe
What I observed in the first 3 minutes of the class is that students were kind of bored because they just had to listen to fables. 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 horseshoe shape when using listening


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
