WEEK 3 Reading - Family Members


What I like from the class:
This week we continue learning new things from other teams, we saw the different performance from other classmates teaching reading and listening skills, I will not talk about both teams but I will only say that both did it well and I guess they learn from this experience of being in front explaining the different stages which they have do teach. This time a want to talk about Astrid, Xenia and Daniel teaching the Reading Skill, I think that from the beginning they were excited because it was the first time for them teaching this skill. 

What I like from Astrid is the way she motivate students and besides she made student repeat the words and when there were those who did not, she continue asking them to repeat until the whole group participate and that was awesome also her attitude was in the acceptable level for kids to feel comfortable, I consider the three of them did it great even though Xenia did not have enough time she coped that difficult situation and the most remarkable is that she attained to complete the post, we have to accept that she seemed upset at the moment of teaching , but besides that she was astonishing also I noted that at the beginning of the class there was a girl who came late and she was near the door and Daniel asked her to move to another place but she did not want to, but I observed that Xenia asked her again and she accepted Xenia request then she moved the little girl to another desk where she could see the board this little thing showed me that she has features of a good teacher, the kind of teacher who care about her students.

I did not like form the class:
Nevertheless, there were some things which they can improve firstly we have to be careful in one area which is the word spelling. I noted that the word Nephew was not well written and as a teacher we cannot make this mistakes since we are the person in charge to teach a new language and students will learn from this either it is correct or not. We have to bear in mind that from this age is when they get the most impact when learning a language, as we know the very young age is when children develop the cognitive side of the brain and the development is in a great level of absorption that is why we can take advantage of it, teaching them the proper spelling and pronunciation of the plenty of words in English. the time was the big problem of the class there were some stages that took more time than the expected at some points i could see the hurry from the members of the group due to this problem but at the end they could handle the situation.

Thing to improve:
The time despite this issue, Daniel performance was interesting one, I like what the teacher said that he was concerned about Xenia´s time, he speeded up his activities when noted that the time was running out. He acted as a good friend, he was not only focused on his grade but also on Xenia´s performance and that is what we have to learn, the humanity of working and face the problems together, and I want to highly this because the purpose is not just about getting the best grades, being the best student but being kind a person, helping us each other and grow up together to become not only in excellent teachers but also in good people. we cannot be really tough with this group they handle the difficult of time and could achieve the aim to teach the stages.

In conclusion: 
All in all, there were many good thing which we have to learn from this group and even things which we also have to take into account when is our time to perform our class. i will learn from this group because they experienced something even the teacher would not like to be in, but besides that the attitude and energy of each of them was great the could control themselves and found out a way to solve the problem. I really got that stick on my mind and now it is time to apply it in out chance to give a class.

  1. Thanks for sharing your expirience with us David it is a pleasure read you blog thanks for the things you say I'm totally agree with you, in the begining of the class the activities were great but Astrid forget the spelling maybe because she was nervous as you know is difficult to be in front of the class, Daniel did a very god job and actually was the most important part of thr class because the class was about reading not about vocavulary and it is true he took time also he tried to hurry up and that help me I have around 10 minutes to developed all my activities I did not finish all of them but at least I developed the post during part, I agree with you at the beginning I was mad because I had no time to do the avtivitiesI will try to control my emotions the next time and will try to fo my best and about the organization and the time was a bad experience it is something that we as group have to improve.
