Wrap-up / closure
As homework the teacher asks the students to draw and describe a family member’ clothes.
Notes: I based this class on the Backpack 1 course book, usually the book doesn’t require the students to write the names, just to match with a line with the sentence with the correspondent picture, and to practice oral exercises, but I really wanted to challenge my students to see if they were capable of writing and they did, they presented some spelling problems but they wrote complete sentences, some of them were capable of writing very well, many students had to look to the colors poster I pasted on the wall at the beginning of the school year to remember the colors’ name and some needed assistance on remembering the names of words like scarf but in general my students made a fine use of the vocabulary in the classroom ( I have to admit that most of my students were wearing a hat, a jacket, a sweater, pants and sneakers., their challenge was to change the colors) but I feel that they passed the test. The only evidence I have is the homework some of the parents sent me later with the older brothers. That week and the next one were very cold and rainy, the school suspended classes because of lack of assistance, so I used the homework to form a display and took pictures of the only students I had.
