Fifth class.

Lesson five.

Topic: My body.

Grammar: do you have? Yes, I do. No, I do not.

Vocabulary: Mouth, nose, head, eye, ear, hand, shoulder, arm, knee, leg, foot.

Teachers: Iliana and Juan Carlos. 

This is the last class of the second period, it was an interesting and active class, Iliana and me in charge of the class. We prepared and planned activities in order our children feel good and excited for participate in class. We prepared the classroom in order children feel comfortable. We put it off the desks.

First, we sung the “hello song” but we included some new movements in order to active the feeling of the students. Also, we planned an interesting warm-up “Looking for the letter". Students have to run in order to look for the letter in the ball and put in the other side of the classroom. Students felt motivated during the activity.

Then, we planned the class with an unusual presentation with a body puzzle. In which students formed a body and Iliana explained each parts of the body. Also, she used some flash cards in order to teach the grammar part.

Then I started with the practice part, I started with a roll the dice game, in which students previewed the family members, some numbers and the family members.

The second practice was Simon says game, I used a monkey in order to practice the parts of the body and previewed some prepositions.

The third practice was a shake your body song, in which students internalized the target language. We finish the class with the song Bye, bye.

 

Things that teachers can improve:

Be independent with each activity.Do not rescue each other.Speak loud. 

My case of the study enjoyed the class a lot like all the students. She participated in all the activities and she did her best. I noticed that she actually learned each of the body parts.she  danced  and enjoyed all the class, she improve a lot in her learning and showed things that had not yet shown at the beginning of the course. I hope that in the following classes she can increase her participation.

Here is the planning.
