Topic/Skill: Reading
Teacher Presentation:
- Used PowerPoint for the day's activities overview and for the discussion of students' interests, goals, and perceived weaknesses (as well as the activities they have found helpful in the past)
Classroom Management:
- no behavioral issues
- when getting Kahoot started, the teacher asked the only 2 students who weren't logged in if they were joining
- 1 of them did and the other didn't respond, so the teacher moved on and started the game
- when the teacher asked a question, he gave about 5-10 seconds for the students to respond before he moved on to the next thing or asked the question again
- when students were in their small groups, the teacher would ask 2 of the students to give the other student a chance to solve some of the puzzle problems (instead of them just giving the answers)
Materials:
- Zoom
- PowerPoint
- Kahoot game
- students: crossword puzzle
Student Participation:
- small groups to work on a crossword puzzle
- answered the teacher's questions about what they found helpful in previous English class and such
- played the Kahoot game
Feedback Provided:
- the teacher was very encouraging and would help with pronunciation and vocab definitions when needed, but was not overbearing about it
Lesson(s) I learned about teaching:
- such a great idea to ask students what they have found helpful in the past as well as to have them take a survey asking them about their goals for learning English and the things they're interested in, as it pertains to English learning (as well as their perceived English learning weaknesses (ex. grammar, spelling, etc.)
- having a supportive, open, and fun learning environment can really help to keep the students engaged and interested
