Grammar microteaching

Last week, I had my second micro teaching presentation, this opportunity about grammar. I used as a topic the present progressive. First I presented a short song about the topic, to elicit my students to have an idea about the topic they were going to receive. After that, I used flashcards to show them the action words using the "ing" with the verb. I asked them "what are you doing?", they answered, " I am .......". Finally, we played a bingo game using the flash cards and bingo cards. This game was so challenging to me because I had to restructure this game in order to fit with the topic.
But the biggest challenge for me was the time to develop these activities, it was seven minutes.
I received my evaluation with pleasure because my evaluator did not focus first on the negative points of the presentation. First, she made a positive feedback on all the positive parts and then, she told me what I can change or made in a different way for better development.
In my opinion, she made a positive evaluation because when an evaluator focuses only on the negative parts it gives as a result that the student feels frustrated by those negative comments.

    Hi, Lorenzo!

    I am gladto know that you had a rewarding experience. You must have had a great session. IT seems pretty creative.
    Concerning how you (and most humans) feel when evaluated in more negative way, I think it helps us remember how our students feel sometimes.
    Congratulations on a great grammar session!

Day 4 of observation in Thurman G. Smith Elementary School.

Thursday, March 1st, 2018 The use of technology in class surprised me. All the students in class owned their own personal laptop. They used it to practice math in class, to look for information and to share information with others. Also, I could observe that the computer could be a distractor in class. Because sometimes some specific students were not paying attention to class and they were playing computer games. The teacher couldn't observe those students for that reason I talked to them that please pay attention. The teacher also used technology to present her classes. She handled in a good way the use of technology in class. Also, I attended the library class. This class was performed at the library. The library teacher read them a short book but the point that caught my attention was the tone of voice and mimic used during the reading. That caused the students to pay attention and participate in the reading. At the end of this class, she encouraged them to select a boo...

Day 2 of Observation in Thurman G. Smith Elementary School.

Tuesday, February 27th, 2018 During this second day, I focused my observation in the classroom management. The management of the class was ordered. Every time the children talked or did not pay attention she called attention to them with attention to getters like "Clap once if you can hear me." Those students who listened quieted down and clapped once. Then she said, "Clap twice if you can hear me." Then more children responded with two claps. Finally, she said, "Clap three times if you can hear me." By this time she had the attention of all her students. Also, I noticed that she had a notebook, where she wrote down the names of students who did not follow the instructions given, they at the end of the week they would not have the extra recess time that those who followed instructions would enjoy. I liked that the school has an ELD class (English Language Development). In this class, all the Spanish speakers or another language speakers students had to ...
