This Monday I had my second observation class with my group. To tell you the truth, they were more agitated than the other time, probably because the lesson was from 12:30 to 13:30, one hour before they go home and switch off...
Well, first of all Isabel asked if there was anybody who still had to do the unit exam: 2 people raised their hands. They had to do it during the lesson... and they were not really happy about that... well at least they had a second chance! Meanwhile, the teacher made the students talk about the sentences they built with the photographs they had on Friday and afterwards, she wrote some of them on the blackboard.
After doing this speaking activity, she first explained them a little bit of grammar "Subject and object questions", and then the students had to prove their recently acquired knowledge through some "fill the blanks" activities. I asked her how much time does she normaly give to the students so that they do their exercices... and well, she told me that aprox. 3 minutes, but also that it always depends on the pace of the lesson and of the students.
Once they finished their activity, some of them were asked to write the whole sentences on the blackboard.. they did a pretty good job even though there were some mistakes, that means that they have to revise the grammar explanation once again, and do more exercices...
The thing is that they kept talking during the whole hour... I would like to know if there's any kind of activity which makes them stay more focused (like dynamic activities)... without turning the class into a madhouse, of course!
