Date: Feb. 13 Guhyan Elementary School Open Class (30 minutes)

 

    The teacher starts by introducing herself and giving an example of what she wants the students to do. She goes around to each student and encourages them to speak loudly and clearly, helping them when they need it. She uses teams to gives students the incentive to answer questions for points. She uses a rhythm to gain students attention, which is very effective at getting students to quiet down and pay attention and get the class back on track. The class is quite repetitive for the first half as she gets students to memorize items on a board, which I’m not sure would be entirely effective at teaching vocab. However, she incorporates the vocab into a more physical activity afterwards, which would be more effective at teaching the material. While this was quite a simple lesson, I think it was appropriate for what they were learning, and incorporated some good teaching techniques.
