Portfolio - Teaching Practicum II - fernandez and luna

3 Handling of the group Organization of participation Most of the class took part in each activity. There were just some few students who talked or were distracted while the teacher was reading or explaining.

Management of discipline It was very well managed since the teacher was walking along the classroom checking what the students were up to. In that way she could monitor the students/ Organization of students’ interaction Excellent. Many students were able to help the weaker or slower students to finish with their brochures.

4 Other aspects to consider The weakest point of the teacher that day was the timing for the activity although most of the students were able to complete it (the brochure), some of them found it difficult to understand and to finish the brochure.

The strongest point of the teacher that day was the managing of the pace of the activities as well as the explanations.

An aspect clearly improved was that I remained students to speak in English and to make silence when another student was talking or reading.

An aspect in the process of improving will be the timing for some activities as some students need more time to do them.

A part of the lesson that I would change probably it would have been to give more students the time that they needed to do the brochure.

A part of the class that I particularly liked was the students’ participation and how it was evident that they enjoyed the class and the new topic which is solar energy.
