Ninth class

This class was from Ingrid and mercy, their decorations seemed to be little however they proved that the way you deliver the class and the activities are more important than the surroundings.

 To begin with, Ingrid made the students make a semicircle, that in my opinions was the best semicircle that the students have done, she sing a song with the aid of cans filled with rocks, these actions captivated the attention of the children.

After that still sitting in the semicircle she took a box,  that she called the secret box. This box had cards inside, these cards had pictures of vocabulary that had already been studied in other classes, and also the name of those pictures was folded in the back of the pictures. Ingrid realized the activity by choosing a random student to pass and take one card and practice what was inside of the cards, also practice spelling. Whenever a someone did a mistake or did not answer, she used to the whole class to say the correct answer.

Her next activity was the presentation stage, this was done with a puppet, I really like it. The activity was basically having the puppet, present the vocabulary, in this case food, to the students, interact with them and make them memorize by repeating the name of the foods that were being presented. The name of the puppet was "Totti"

The final activity of Ingrid was something where the students had to categorize the food in two different categories, this was really interesting because students had different opinions of the food, so this caused a little discussions but it was fixed quickly, this activity was done with physical objects being pasted in two different posters.

Now was the turn of Aby to take the stage, I think that in this class the students were kind of energetic due to the fact that they had just finished school, so this might have been the cause that made kind of difficult for Aby to control them.
Her first activity was about working with small pieces of paper, truth be told, I could not catch most of the instructions and it seemed that the students were in the same situation because they were doing many different thing, Aby was trying to call their attention but it did not had much effect on them, at the end they complete the activity.

The next activity was to paste small food pictures, and categorize them whether they were good or bad, this was done in plates that were divided in 4 sides with a pilot.

Then her last activity was done with handouts, in groups the students had to complete a hand out that was given to them, they had also to tell the teacher when they had finished and pronounce the words that were in the handout. My opinion on Aby`s class is that she did a great job when planning the activities however, I think that the kids were a little bit too exited to work with small pieces of paper, and also that she could try to have more discipline in  the classroom.

Overall I think that the class was great because they did a great job and they also achieved their goal.
