<p>The micro-teaching activity assigned was on reading comprehension. We began the activity with a 1-minute snippet of an interview between Cardi B and la Mega 97.9FM in the interview Cardi B speaks in Spanish and talks about her family as well as her favorite Dominican food.

<p>The micro-teaching activity assigned was on reading comprehension. We began the activity with a 1-minute snippet of an interview between Cardi B and la Mega 97.9FM in the interview Cardi B speaks in Spanish and talks about her family as well as her favorite Dominican food. According to Tomlinson (2001) by captivating the students interest it increases their attention and their able to understand as well as ability to remember parts of the lessoning relatable or interesting to the student. The Cardi B activity we conducted I believe was interesting and strong for our class because it captivated their attention by using someone, they are very familiar with from reality tv, music and Pepsi commercials. Many do not know that she is Dominican so it was a fun way of showing that some famous people they know are descendants of Spanish speaking countries although they may not look like it. Following the snippet of the video we present the vocabulary and what she stated via text for students to read. After the presentation of the text we provided questions for students to answer which will assess if they understood the text. Based on feedback there are various things I would have done differently such as incorporating more reading so that it could be more focused on reading comprehension and provide a question after each paragraph. For differentiating instructional reasons, I would provide a more detailed article for native speakers who can read quickly, this can be observed by previous exercises. I would have incorporated more culture into the lesson by adding music or bringing samples of food to add to the cultural authenticity. Another thing I would have changed is the amount of grammatical errors presented in the slides because as VanPatten and many other scholars have stated a bad input is a bad output in which students will create the same mistakes we do because they learn our errors instead of the correct way to write or speak.

It is crucial to do so. Tomlinson (2001) However, there were a few grammatical errors throughout the presentation. Like it was mentioned in class, those minimal errors could be fixed. Also, the sequence of the slides contained great activities for the students but not appropriate for the level that the lesson was intended to be for. Overall. I believed you group did a good job at presenting your teaching demo. I liked the interaction and the intentions that your all used throughout the lesson. </p> Hello Fazima,

<p>Your group presentation helped us to understand how students learn best as individuals. Since students have different learning styles and they are unique, we as future teacher must plan our lessons applying methods that can help them to understand the language. Your presentation had a lot of visuals and different activities. Also, the topic of your lesson would have caught the attention of the students because sports is something that everyone enjoys. It would have students focused and interested in the lesson. Lastly, your group designed a game that would have students participate and produce the target language in addition to play while they learn. (108 words)</p> Hello Selena,

The grammar-translation method as we observed from your presentation, does not allow the students to actively communicate in the target language, it only focuses on grammatical rules that will not be apply in real conversations. Your examples of this method like the grammar structure table or like the vocabulary with translations are good examples for showing the disadvantages of this technique. On the other hand, you presented the communicative method with good examples that can be apply in the classrooms. Those activities would have made students to interact and produce in the target language which would be one of our goals as teachers. (134 words)</p> Hello Karolina,

<p>Hello Geomyra,</p>
<p>I believe starting your micro-teaching activity with a video is a great way to catch the attention of the students. But it may have been more beneficial to include some new vocabulary in the pre-reading phase.

As Lee and VanPatten highlighted that when creating a lesson plan of the receptive skills, listening and reading, the lesson must be organized in a very specific organized manner to avoid any confusion and to let the content be understandable. I believe your production activity was very ideal for students to demonstrate their abilities. Of course next time, it will be better to make your lesson plan based on the content as opposed to grammar.</p> Carolina,

The lesson was well put together, however, there were a lot of grammatical errors in which as you mentioned previously students learn from us and we have to make sure that we look over and over our work before presenting it to our students, but at the end we all make mistakes and that is why we do this teaching slices to learn from each other.

According to Tomlinson, we should choose topics in which our youth would be interested in, therefore choosing Cardi B was a good choice, however I don’t think many parents would approve of it since she is not the greatest role model but then again who is nowadays.</p> Hello Dennis,

<p>Hello Dennis,</p>
<p>After observing your presentation, I have a better understanding between the different approaches in teaching a second language. Watching both presentations, the translation based-method presentation and the communicative method, I had the opportunity to compare the pros and cons of each one. The communicative method to my knowledge and preference is more engaging and motivate, giving the opportunity for students to challenge them selves to learn the language. In the other hand, the translation-based method was bored, simple and flat. With these last method students do not challenge themselves because the have the translation in every sentence. Overall you and your partner did a good job presenting both methods.</p>
