Topic/Skill: asking questions in English
Teacher presentation: Vicki
Classroom Management: worked with students during activities; engaged with students during homework review; admonished one student to "be nice" over some comment or behavior with another student; monitored the class during group work to clear up confusion and answer vocabulary questions.
Materials: each student had a notebook and something to write with. Other materials included: a whiteboard with markers and worksheets for the activities.
Student Participation: The students participated in class by answering questions and responding to teacher requests such as reading directions aloud. Students also participated in small groups during the activities
Feedback provided: the teacher noted common, systematic errors and addressed them at the end of class. At the beginning of class, the class reviewed the previous homework assignment to ensure comprehension of the material. The teacher also helped the students with the in class activity, explaining vocabulary words such as stripes, polka dots and martini glass.
Lessons learned about teaching: the class was a helpful model of the student-centered approach. The teacher always progressed through the day's material by asking questions instead of her reviewing or lecturing. This included having students read directions aloud, asking the students for all the wh-question words, etc.
