OUR TEACHER is coming to our school to watch us!! That was amazing. I was absolutely nervous and made so many mistakes.

About first activity, warming up the class with TPR technique was found good and effective by our teacher. She thinks it was a good start and take all the class into the lesson at the beginning.

After that, about the first activity, it was a reading activity, and after all we thought we should read aloud as a teacher.  Students were starting to distract. So, we made them read silently. But our teacher told us this was bad for class management. We tried to find easy passage for 5th grade but of course there were some words they didn’t know. We should make them clear so asked them to tell us the words they don’t know and write them to the board. As our teacher said it was completely different from the reading activity and we diverged from the main activity for 5 minutes. Then, we thought it would be better to use the blackboard for true/false questions about the passage.  She told it would be better writing them under the passage so the students could read the passage and answer the questions easily. She was completely right.

We had problems about the time using. As we had limited time for the second activity and the final activity we should be fast doing them. Our teacher said there were too many worksheets distributed and students could have problems to control and solve all of them. She said we could use the board for some of the activities instead of too many worksheets. We rushed for the rest of the activities and it seemed they couldn’t reach their aim and students barely understand and answer the questions activities included. Last activities were better but as the time was limited we couldn’t give the effect we planned to give before.

In conclusion, we suffered from not being well-prepared and inadequacy of class management.
