Today I had the opportunity to observe Ryan Fletcher's grammar class. He started the lesson by having the students do warm up exercises in which they had to find and correct mistakes in a given set of sentences. After this exercise, he showed his students the breakdown of last week's results. This chart showed which types of questions students were having trouble with and which one were understood by everyone.
Ryan also passed out a hand out of 50 commonly used verbs so that students could familiarize themselves. The final exercise of the day was to have the students write in their grammar log, which is basically their daily journal that will be collected at the end of every week. In the grammar log, students have to write 4 sentences in the tense they are practicing. From sitting in this class, I learned what a good lesson plan looks like and how the teacher should be energetic and sparking interaction and participation from the class.
Thanks for sharing. It will help my lesson plan for tomorrow : )
ReplyDeleteErika, do you mind me asking what the level of the grammar class was? The activity seems like one that I could use in the future, and would like to estimate which level they would do this! Thanks :)
