OBSERVATION CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

-

Date: 09.01.24 

Grade: 1

Group of 17 children.

The aim of the class was to teach what a recipe is and how to carry it out. the student will know the necessary vocabulary related to cooking, the ingredients and how to follow the recipe step by step.

The topic of the lesson making a recipe: "fried rice"

In general, the class was very enjoyable, the students did their part, they were attentive most of the time and the objectives proposed by the teacher were met satisfactorily. If I could change anything about the class, it would be the materials, in some way, the use of technological resources would facilitate the attention, the dynamics and the students would find the class more fun.


The warm up: the teacher introduced the topic through a game of guess what I am doing and listen to the sound, what does it sound like, the students got engaged with the class and started to participate and started to get a little out of control and to loud, at some point the teacher had to remind them to raise their hand to speak and that we can't all speak at the same time, they listen and continue the lesson in order, the students had fun.



The teacher made good use of strategies to transition the class, explaining to the students what they are going to do in the whole class, what they are going to learn and what materials and activities are going to be carried out. It is important to recognise that he established a good use of Scaffolding to carry out the session, as well as using a lot of gestures and mime to explain the concepts. Most of the students paid attention except for one child, the teacher talked to him a couple of times, at one point she needed to take the student out of the classroom to talk to him and ask him what she could do for him, how she could help him, at the end she asked him to take a minute to drink water or go to the toilet and when he came back to the classroom to pay attention to the class.

What would I have done differently?

While the teacher had the necessary materials to run the session, the fact that a child doesn't stay interested in the class means that we have to find new ways to keep them entertained, I would have used technology, watching videos or interactive food games.

Answer to the question, Where is the animal around the house?.   Phases: Warm up: Chant song and Answer to the questions about the Book, What’s the animal doing, moving the nose etc.The teacher activates the language for the main activity, previously presented. Lesson: Through a game, the target it’s to find the dog in one of the rooms at the house. The teacher used a song playing hide and seek.  Closing: saying goodbye to the subject of the lesson, in this case, the spot dog says goodbye to each of them (physically), giving validation and belonging. Closing song. The aids the teacher uses: I Like that she uses a lot of strategies to do her lesson, between songs, chants, books, and objects the teacher maintains the attention of the hall class.

And this is how I see! Lekcja języka angielskiego - Dąbrówka

  Lekcja języka angielskiego - Dąbrówka In general the lesson was dynamic and most of the time the children were interested, a few questions comes to my mind, what ages the students are, their grades and English level,  I think the subjects were basics. I liked that it kept the children's attention with different activities, but I would do them very differently. I think the teacher was stressed or nervous, but she still managed to maintain the discipline of the class. In general they did well, but they had to reinforce the participation in a positive way and look for activities that complemented the knowledge, not just giving vocabulary that they already have and master; The way she told the story was a little slow and the way she spoke to the children was a little bit rude, perhaps cold and in terms of empathizing with them seemed very distant.  Personally, I would not have had competitions in winning or losing, nor would I have mixed what is good or bad in an activity where one s
