Teacher´s name:
Maria José López
Mariana Fagoaga

Skill: Listening
Framework: PDP

Topic: Wild Animals


This was my first time performing a lesson with children and teaching listening. To start with, I checked the attendance while T. Maria José was giving the name tags to children.Then, I started with the warm up in which pupils had to made a horizontal line to play "Teacher said" I said the name of an animal and they had to touch the animal that was paste on the board. This activity was a little bit uncontrolled because pupils were hyperactive during the lesson.

Second,I performed the presentation stage giving the words that we would use in the during listening stage to children. I presented 9 words like can, saw, wanted, walking, run,etc.... I made students repeat after me, and they were able to pronounce them in a correctly way.After, T. Maria José moved the flashcards on the board to play a matching game, but I realized in the moment that maybe they would not be able to did it.For that reason, I said that I would say a word and they had to touch the picture. They really clarified their doubts of the vocabulary in that moment, and I checked their comprehension .

Third, for the during we had some problems with the CD-player because it did not accept the flash driver thereby I read it louder for the children, but before it T. Maria José gave students a worksheet in which pupils had to order the event in the first part, and in the second one they had to color the animals that appeared in the story. This was a challenging moment because it was too difficult read the story and made students get the idea of the listening practice, but at the end it worked. At the end, T. Maria José checked the answers.

Finally, T. Maria José divided the class in two teams ,and she gave each group a fly swatter. T. gave the instructions in which learners had to slap the picture of the word that teacher would say and say the name of the word. If a student did not achieve it had to answer a question about the story. It was an interesting activity because in spite of students were so hyperactive they did it.Then, for the lack of time we could not perform the wrap up activity.

 

To conclude, I really enjoy the lesson notwithstanding of children behavior. I learned a lot of techniques to catch students attention. I think that it was a good lesson , and students enjoyed it.


Here is my lesson plan:
