Once the activity or activities have been taught, choose TWO of the questions from A, B & C in order to reflect on the following topics and plan for next class:
A. Recalling the activity
Did you use the appropriate materials/resources to achieve your aim?
I think that I did. I used phrases that were more or less the same number of words and which contained words that were familiar to the students. I did not want to use phrase with words that were not familiar to them because besides not understanding the meaning of the word they might not be able to repeat it.
Note down any comments/feedback that a student gave you during the activity.
After I had told the phrases to the 5 team members, I realized that some of them did not remember their phrases very well, so I asked them if they wanted me to repeat them again and surprisingly all of them said NO! I think that it was exciting for them to make an effort to remember
B Reflecting on the activity
Note several things that you are proud of about the activity.
I am proud of the evolution of the activity; I liked the way it went.
Also I enjoyed seeing the students’ faces when they were listening to their teammates. They were paying close attention to what they were being told.
Was there a good environment to enhance learning?
I felt so happy because the environment of the activity was good. Students were so interested in the activity that they practiced the listening skills. They were paying close attention to the phrases and trying to remember them.
C. Drawing conclusions
If you taught the activity again, what would you do differently?
If I do this activity again I would time it. This is, I would give certain time for each student to tell their classmate behind them the phrase. Some of them took more time because they were repeating the phrase lots of times.
What have you learned about planning this activity?
I learned that it is important to time the students in activities where they are competing because as I mentioned above, they try to win. In this particular activity, some of them took more time in order to say the phrase as correct as possible and the other students were eager to see who the winners were.
