Teacher Presentation:
- Zoom meeting
- No PowerPoint was used
- Used the chat function to relay questions that she asked verbally and to present and define vocabulary she knew would be unfamiliar to the students.
- Also used the chat function to share the text that students would be reading from the textbook.
- Used breakout rooms so that students could discuss the reading and the questions she asked.
Classroom Management:
- No behavioral issues
- Students logged on a bit late
- Students were obviously a bit nervous so she consistently encouraged participation and repeatedly asked questions to maintain their participation.
- At first students did not have their cameras on so she asked if they could turn on video.
Materials:
- Zoom
- Textbook
Student Participation:
- Breakout rooms (partner work)
o One activity was when students were asked to discuss crime in their country and the things their country has done to stop/prevent crime. This discussion topic was related to the reading given later on in the class
o The other breakout room was for the students to discuss what they understood from the reading (the teacher acknowledged that the reading was a little bit above their skill level).
- When the students returned from the first breakout room, they were asked what they discussed.
o After listening to the students’ responses, the teacher discussed some issues with crime in the US to relate it to American culture.
Feedback Provided:
- Not much feedback was provided.
- The teacher encouraged students to participate and openly said mistakes were perfectly okay.
- She only corrected pronunciation when students asked for it.
