5.3.3 REFLECTION: SUPERVISION

Aim: SWBAT identify general ideas and explicit information in oral texts and videos about art.

Grade: 1°H

1. Describe your role during the lesson:

My role during the lesson was to be the teacher during the class and explain the new content to the students. I had to greet them, read the aim, describe the activities and the vocabulary. Overall, I had to be aware of all the students and if they were answering my questions and paying attention, making sure that they would actually learn about the new unit.

2. Describe how you ensured students’ learned:

To make sure that the students learned, I was constantly asking questions and repeating the new content. Also, at the end of the class, I prepared a game with different questions about the topic of the class with information that we actually saw during the lesson. The students played and most of them answered the questions right which gave me the satisfaction that the kids actually learned something.

3. Describe your strengths:

My strenghts during the lesson were that I was able to speak in English fluently without problems and I didn't get nervous teaching the class. In addition, I think that I was capable of keeping a good rythm with the lesson and its specific times and I made sure to ask a lot of times if the students had any doubt or if they needed help with understanding some of the contents.

4. Describe your weaknesses:

I think that one of my weaknesses was that I was so fascinated by the topic of the lesson that I may have speaked too fast sometimes. Maybe some students weren't able to understand what I said at the first time.

5. What might you have done differently?

In one of the activities, the students had to watch a video called ''What is Art?'', they had to watch it with attention and answer some previous questions that I prepared with information from the same video. After watching it once, I asked the students if they needed to watched another time and they said no so I moved on with the lesson. I shouldn't have asked, I should have played the video again just in case that a student that didn't give their opinion didn't undertand the video in the first time.

6. What would you change:

To be honest, I would try to make the class more dynamic. I think that in general the lesson was pretty simple and explained the vocabulary well but asking the students open questions about a certain topic isn't very helpful with a class of students that have a hard time speaking or writing in English. So if I had to prepare the lesson again, I would try to do more activities where the students can answer easily.
