Report #4

ACTIVITY REFLECTION GUIDELINE
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
Note down any comments/feedback that a student gave you during the activity.
After I finished the activity, one student told me that her team had mentioned a fruit in Spanish and I took it as correct.
List some things that happened differently from your plan.
I was expecting that one team was going to “win”, but none of them knew a fruit for each of the letters they were given. I think it was a bit more difficult to them because they were not allowed to repeat fruits already said by their classmates.

B Reflecting on the activity
At what point did you feel awkward or uncomfortable.
I felt uncomfortable when deciding if there was a team that had won because they were expecting that at least one team would win but none of them achieved what I was asking for.
Do you think you gave clear instructions?
I think that I gave clear instructions and according to the development of the activity the students indeed understood; however, the teacher suggested me to repeat the instructions more than once because sometimes students do not understand.

C. Drawing conclusions
If you taught the activity again, what would you do differently?
I would allow students to repeat the fruits. In addition, I would also give them more letters of the alphabet so that they could learn more words.
What have you learned about your teaching procedures and techniques?
I feel that I have to think more about possible problems that might occur during the activity in advance and solutions to them.
