What I was thinking...

       The activity in general was very good. I feel that reading did not help them, that some of them did not know some words. So, doing a little vocabulary could have made reading easier. Students who had a slightly more advanced English level could identify with the activity, but that limits others. I liked the activity of innovative inventions because they exploited the imagination and creativity of the students.

Lesson: Professions and Trades

Type of lesson: Vocabulary

Teacher's: Sara Regina, Tirsa, Abigail, Carolina, José Ariel

It is important for the student to relate a word to images. It may be easier for them to memorize it. The class was fun and dynamic and I think that is the fundamental basis.

What I observed...

·         Student’s participation

·         Work grouping

·         Vocabulary

·         Questions

2nd Class

May and Might are modal verbs. They can normally be interchanged without a significant difference in meaning however Might often implies a smaller chance of something happening (when expressing possibility).

The activity that they decided was: Chinese Wispers Game

Chinese whispers known as telephone in the United States is an internationally popular children's game, in which the players form a line and the first person in the line whispers a message to the ear of the next person in the line, and so on, until the last player is reached.

The students may have different starting levels of English or they may learn at very different speeds for any number of reasons.

So, I was thinking that all of the above work (Vocabulary skills) could be done in the mother tongue, although I feel it is best done primarily in the target language.
