Observation Report 1:

I would like to describe my observation, it was in fifth grade. Since the beginning the class was very energetic. The teacher wrote the day on the blackboard and started the activity from activity book, she said “I am scared of…” she guided them with questions, if they didn´t know she helped them. All the time students wanted to participate.

The children were spontaneous and they weren´t afraid to speak, when they didn´t know any words the teacher in many occasion helped them with sign in her hands. She spoke the majority of the time in English, even she used present perfect, and student’s didn´t know the grammar (have you seen… have you been…) but them responded to these questions because she was repetitive with this, and they incorporated this to their vocabulary.

The students were curious and receptive to new ideas, she worked with the activity book, she asked all the time about the topic which had worked before, and the grammar that they were reading in the previous class, students responded very quickly( for example different word with plural).

She used her imagination and she said “If you have to go on a camping, what do you carry?” The students said one by one, and she interacted with their answer to continue speaking English with different topic like food, music, clothes. When they didn´t know a word she wrote on the blackboard and children repeated it.

She moved quickly from activity to activity, spending about 5-10 minutes per activity. She captured their attention speaking about post card, the students had never heard about, and she explained it. Then she read an article in the post card and made an activity to match. She worked with one by one to know the answers and then with the whole class to know the questions about it.

They didn´t use audio visual, song, but she made learning fun using their imagination, and the learning was interactive; when some students had problem with tasks she helped them, but at that moment the class was dispersed. I think teachers should have activities for that moment when they need to help students because it is not easy to create a peaceful environment.

They didn’t interact with others objects, they only used the activity book, is a pity because children had lots of knowledge about English and energy to interact with activities. They were enthusiastic about the tasks, it had purpose and goal because students could understand and develop their imagination.

She was very clear with the tasks, all the time she was guiding beside them, she supported with words of cheer like, very good, excellent, you can do it, and the students felt enthusiastic to work.

I think she used many techniques and was very clear when she spoke, she resolved every situation adequately and teacher taught contents by means of questions all the time. The class was achieved.
