Hot reflection paper #3 (My third time to teach
English wit real students)
Describe à
It was around 6:45 a.m. and I was ready to start my last
50 minutes-class for the second period. This class was so challenging for me
because I had to work just with two readings, and it was kind of difficult
for me. When I started the class, I noticed that all the students were in the
classroom. When I started working with the first reading activity, I was a
little nervous because the students were kind of bored, but as they were
developing the activity they became in a different mood and the class was
really nice. Also, as soon as they finished the first activity, I asked them
to develop the second reading activity in which I planned a pre, during and
post activity. I noticed the students were motivated, and they were working
perfectly. The teacher was sitting next to the desk writing some comments
about my performance of that day. I really liked the students´ attitude
because they showed me their desire to participate in each activity. On the
other hand, some students had some problems with the vocabulary of the
readings because they found some unknown words, and it made the activity more
interesting for the teacher and for the students. At the end I noticed that
the class was really good because the students produce what they had already
been taught during the class. In this class, I used sheet of paper, the
students' book. In this class the rapport was really good because of the
interaction between students and me, the teacher.

So, in the future, I will try to
present the same activities but with a different methodology for example;
using technology.
|
|
 Interpret
I can say that the students are so
intelligent because they learn so fast.
|
Generalize
Based on what I already know about teaching
is that teachers have to adapt the activities according the kind of students
in the classroom.
|
|
I know that at the beginning of the class I was a
little nervous, but it is something normal.
|
Based on what I observed, students feel more
comfortable when they are working on something of their interests. Also,
students work better when the task in according to their level.
|
In future lessons, I will try to be more dynamic
with the activities because in this class I could not be so dynamic because
of the kind of the activities.
|
There are not perfect activities because in every
activity will happen bad and good things.
|
According on what I know about teaching is that
the teacher has to be preparing for unexpected things.
|
In future experiences I will be ready because in
this class when a student asked me about an unknown word that he found in the
reading, I was lost because even I did not know the meaning.
