 Teachers: Ingrid, MercyTopic: Food and drinksVocabulary: Donuts, vegetables, candy, soda, water, fruit, cereal, hamburger, pizzaGrammar: Is it good for you? Is it bad for you? Yes, it is. No, it is not.

Review: Numbers, colors, alphabet.

They started the class with the hello song with some different movements. Then, teacher Ingrid did the warm-up in which students review the previous lessons. Students took a card from a box that was called the secret box. Students mentioned an action and they spelled the word. I consider that the activity was ok and students were very concentrated about what they got from the box.

For the presentation she used a puppet that was called Totty. She was a friend of teacher Ingrid and she is a teacher too. Totty interacted with the students and she presented the new vocabulary with some flashcards. I consider that this presentation was terrific for the students because they enjoyed being with the puppet and this type of presentation helps students to acquire the target vocabulary and for me I think that used a puppet for a class is very difficult because we need to change our voice in order to be success and also to gat the attention of the students.



For the grammar part, she used real objects in order to practice the target vocabulary. Students took an object from a secret box that contain all the real objects and they decided it was good or bad for them. I consider that using a real objects helps students in order to internalize the vocabulary because it is important for the students in order to associate the objects with the real world.

 


The practice stage was in charge the teacher Mercy, she started the practice with something new and interesting for the students, the activity was called the puzzle food. She divided the students in groups and she gave them a puzzle and they needed to organize the picture. Students enjoy the activity and they did their best. I consider that here they practice the fine motor skill which is good for them.

The second practice was to put the food and drinks items in the correct face of the disposable plate. Mercy prepared the plate so that the children work in both sides and they were very concentrated doing the activity. He they also practice the fine motor skills and they also internalize the target language and they know about what food is good for them and what is not.

The last activity was a shopping list, students were very excited about it and they work in groups. They were fill in the list and they were collecting the food and drinks they had on a list. I consider that this types of activities helps students to internalize the target vocabulary and also they enjoy practicing.

Finally, they sang the bye-bye song with some different movements and also they change the speed of the song.

My case of study.

My case of study enjoy this class because she practice and learn the name of the food that she likes the most and also she got the pronunciation of all words and have a talk with her and she told me that she really enjoy the class and she learned something new and have more knowledge on her mind.
