SECOND REPORT
Yanina Huaygua UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE HURLINGHAM Report of lesson Observation
Teacher: Flavia Ivalo
Date: September 10th Course: 4to Informática School: Escuela Técnica N°1 “OEA” Time: 9:50 am to 12 am Material: Grammar Exercises “Reported Speech” and Dictionaries. At the beginning, there were only six students in the lesson (four boys and two girls) The rest arrived later because they did not have a previous class. The teacher greeted them and explained them that today she is going to tell them their final marks of the term, the students seemed very anxious. However, the atmosphere was friendly, the teacher always kept eye- contact with the students. What’s more, the students asked the teacher personal questions in a nice way and she answered them. Activity Two students brought dictionaries from the library because a classmate was confused with the meaning of some words that the teacher wrote on the blackboard. The teacher tried to explain it but it was not clear. After that, the teacher said to the group that while she was going to see the marks, they had to do a task of reading comprehension about robots in groups of two. One student was not paying attention but the teacher did not say anything about it. In order to explain the text, they had to read, the teacher read the text in a loud voice and translated some phrases. The tasks were on the blackboard. One of the phrases was translated by a student who said “Made in China” means “hecho en China”. Some of them started a little conversation about the culture of that country but this topic disappeared when one classmate showed the students a video. Some students at the back were laughing because one said “Estoy en modo anglosajón”. While teacher tried to see their notes, most of them were not doing the activity they must do because the task was not clear, so they were looking at their cellphones and sending messages. A girl talked about some homework of another subject and two students started singing a Justin Bieber’s song. There were two groups who finished the task because one of the students, Abril, knew English and she understood what to do. They gave the teacher their work and the rest saw that as a consequence, they tried to do the same. The teacher explained them one more time that task and that it was a mistake on the blackboard. She asked them if they remember the difference between was and were, surprisingly only two did not remember that. A student, Azul, thought she did not English and hated it. She asked the teacher do not speak in English because she cannot understand. They had a little break. After sitting on the chair, they were really tired and did not want to finish the activity the teacher gave them so they only kept in silence and the teacher asked them to finish the task because some of them need that to pass the term. A group started talking about the History exam and then, the rest the group said to the teacher that the History teacher was not good with them. The students mentioned to “Pablo” a boy who is not going to class, and one of them said that he changed a lot. The teacher interrupted them to say the final marks. Most of them passed but those who did not, the teacher said that they had a last opportunity. They must work hard on the last term. Finally, the students talked about drugs and a girl of the school who was not going to class because she hit another girl on the face. General comments: The teacher took two hours for an activity that was not clear for them at the beginning. It was not helpful for those who finished quickly the activity. The material was contextualized because it was about robots but it seemed not familiar for them, even when they are studying a technology specialty.
