Observation Report 1:

I would like to describe my observation; it was in 4th grade whose teacher is called Maria Laura Bianchi.

It was an active class where the teacher started asking, "What the weather was like", a girl held different figure like (sun, cloud, rain) then she put on the blackboard the sun.

The teacher put a microphone on her ear, and her voice sounded loud.

The class was active because the students had different interaction with the teacher.

When they had to read aloud, all of them wanted to read but the teacher had to choose one student in different time, and when they had questions they asked the teacher for help, and in that moment all the class was mestless, it happened several time.

They worked for themselves with an assignment from the book where they had been working previously.

She used different learning styles such as, musical. They sang a song with movement referred to the song. The linguistic stayed present. 

When students were reading, sometimes she asked in English, but only a few words.

The activities were very naturalistic because students knew a lot of English, but they didn`t show their knowledge because the majority of the time the class was in Spanish.

She used relevant contexts, they had to read and she asked them about the article which was in the book, and the same time she taught about, geography, culture, the majority of the students spoke about that.

The task was to describe something similar to the article that they had been reading a few minutes before, she used a model task from the book and clarified expectations, put on the blackboard an activity, Then they had to walk to the front and complete the activity that the teacher had written on the blackboard.

I liked all the activities she gave, plenty of comprehensible input, with techniques like gestures, repetition of the new words and rephrasing to help students.

I think she used many techniques and was clear when she spoke. I would have liked to listen to more English in the class, because all the activities were only grammar, but she resolved every situation adequately, and showed me how to cope with a huge group of children. Class was achieved.
