Topic/Skill: Speaking/Past tense verb use

Teacher Presentation:

Andrew started off the class by going around the room and having everyone say their name and where they were from. After introductions the class went down to the computer lab to learn how to use blackboard. Andrew explained to me that not all students have the same amount of knowledge of computer use and going over it in class help with future use. After the computer lab the class returned to room 312 and worked on sentence building worksheets provided the class workbook. These worksheets were completed in groups and then discussed with the entire class.

Classroom Management:

Andrew was really good at interacting with the students. He wasn’t just the authoritative figure teaching at the front of the class. He made jokes, asked for opinions and really seemed to listen and care about what every student said.

Materials: Computer lab, board, projector, marker, workbook

Student Participation: Students worked in different group asking and answering questions using the past tense. One student was also selected to write down verbs used in sentences on the board.

Feedback Provided: After each worksheet was complete Andrew would go over the most common mistakes and explain why they were wrong and how to fix them.

Lesson(s) on teaching you learned:

I learned that multitasking is very important in teaching English. One activity can deal with writing, speaking, spelling and listening not just grammar.
