Teacher Evaluations
One of the
major errors from the final exams was “Sarah no is happying today.” This
sentence was corrected by the students as “Susan doesn’t happy today.” Of
course, both do not make sense. She asks students for the correct answer.
She then projects
on the board the common mistakes that occurred on the final exam. She split the
class into groups and had the students work it out themselves. The students
were focusing on the first question for 5 minutes, so she brought the class
back together and started to guide them.
“Does your
brother is a doctor?” >> “Is your brother a doctor?”
She uses board
for correcting errors as a class.
She quickly
goes over possessive pronouns. She asks students for the pronouns.
Information Gap
activity (Driving activity)
She splits the
students into pairs. In each pair, one student gets sheet A, while the other
gets sheet B. The sheets have the same maps, but missing landmarks depending on
which sheet it is. She explains the activity, and then models how to do it. She
goes around class with an error log sheet.
A student is
confused, and exclaims “I’m lost!” to which she replies, “Let’s do it together
then.”
She gives a
quick overview of the activity to wrap things up, then moves onto the teacher
evaluation.
