The Last Entry (3rd period)

Describe What I could notice in this slice of the lesson is that students were bored at the beginning of the class, but the warm-up (sharks are coming) helped me to cheer them up. The environment was really awesome. The materials used were markers, flashcards, a chart, and a handout.

To give a lesson with help of visual material is easier for the teacher. I used the visual aid this time for teaching clothing vocabulary. The students get easily the idea of what the teacher is giving during the lesson. The use of visual aid is important to catch the students’ attention and help for a better explanation of the topic. However, if the teacher does not make the appropriate use of them, the purpose of using that material will be in vain.	Based on what I already know about the clothing vocabulary, I think is not easy to guess the meaning of the words without help of the visual aids. Based on what I observed, I think students generally memorize easily the new vocabulary when seeing a picture that represents the meaning of the word. Also this help to avoid problems to get the meaning, and help the teacher to save time when giving new vocabulary.	So, in the future, I will include visual aid when giving new topics. In future lessons I will make use of great warm-up for the students to motivate them. The next time I teach this lesson, I will include more flashcards about the clothing items.
