Listening Lesson  |  October 11th

Topic: “The way we are || Habits”  

Teachers: Ligia Ester Hernández / Dania Lissette Crespín/ Karen Vanessa Gómez / José Luis Bonifacio / Sara Elizabeth Chévez

In this lesson, teachers decided to start with a kinesthetic way by using some music and a basket. Students made two groups, after that they tossed a ball into a basket whenever a ball got into the basket SS took a paper with a habit in it, after that, they had to put the habit next to the corresponding image. As a pre-listening activity Ts gave SS images and as T was reading SS had to identify if the image given corresponded to the description of the teacher. It was a really good way to activate students previous knowledge. To continue with the listening activity, Ts played audio and SS had to prove their comprehension by  putting a conversation in order. To wrap up the class, t asked the students to stand up and passing a series of balloons with music in the background, when music stopped SS had to pop the balloon and answer the question inside.  This was a very active class and SS were engaged in every activity.

READING

Topic: CELEBRITIES

Teachers: Sarita / Carolina / Aby / José / Tirsa / Sofia

This reading class started with a very good warm-up. T Caro was in charge of it. It was about guessing songs. T played each song and SS had to say the name of the song. This activity made SS be active since the very first moment of the class. Then, the next activity was explained by T Sarita. The dynamic was the following: there were about 6 name of famous people written on the board, SS had to stand up and write some facts about each of them. I liked the fact that SS knew a lot of information about those artist and they were active participating.

As activity for the during stage, Ts gave SS a page with information with facts of the same artists in the previous exercise but in this time SS had to fill the spaces needed. After that, SS had to write 2 or 3 lines about one of the artist and then pass in front and share the information with the class. Finally, Ts made some questions as a wrap-up to check of SS understood or remembered information given in the class.
