Third Period

Describe
What I saw in this slice of the lesson is that the majority of students had understood the simple past since the teacher presented the topic one day before my class, so I took advantege of that. The environment was great, and students participated during the whole class. The arrangement was in the normal way. The materials I used were flashcards, the board, and copies.

I can say that basic English students are really talkative during the class, but it is an advantage when developing speaking activities.

I think that more kinesthetic activities will work better for this group.  

This kind of activities are really important to help students learning since they feel more involved in the activity.


Based on what I already know about the simple past, I think it is important to show the differences between irregular and regular verbs.

Based on what I observed, I think students generally confuse the was and were.

I believe that helping each othet is a good way to learn because I noticed students help each other to develop the activities, and I liked that since they work as a group.

So, in the future, I will try to specify the usage of was and were

In future lessons I will include more visual aids.

The next time I teach this lesson, I will give better directions for students to work well on the activities.

  1. Hello Rosas, you mentioned that your students got confused about the difference between "WAS and WERE" so, I recommend you to use charts or flascards to establish the difference among the verbs. I share the same opinion when you say that Basic English students are very talkative, they really are so, you should try to prepare activities like role- plays, discussions etc. take advantage of how talkative they are. Good job :)

  2. Nice, Rosas. Using was/were can be quite confusing for students, especially when they are begginers. In this case, I imagine they had already studied that topic but still they had some doubts about it; or they had just forgotten how to use these terms. Maybe, you could have taken a minute or two to remind them when to use each of them. Sometimes, students only need to remember what they learned previously.
