<p>Hi Maria, I totally agree. I enjoyed watching Lady's presentation as well. The way she made the lesson can bring the students attention. It is at their best interests. Your right on the part that she should've added more pictures in her vocabulary section but other than that she did a great job. </p>

<p>Hi Lady,</p>
<p>I thought your lesson was really interesting as you had incorporated a lot of cultural topics for your students on "El Día de Los Muertos". This lesson would help students fully understand the meaning on El Día de Los muertos and what is done on this special day. The only suggestion that I have for you is to change the colors on your presentation because it was difficult reading. Beside that all your activities were well done. </p>

<p>Hi Maria, </p>
<p>I thought your lesson was great and well put together. I believe that this lesson will help students become more informed and aware of the celebration of Cinco de Mayo. As you mentioned before, having pictures for your vocabulary would have helped students be able to make a connection instead of listing them. Besides that every other activity was well thought out. I also liked the way you decorated your powerpoint as it adds more joy to it.</p>

<p>Hi Tanya,<br/>I found your lesson to be well put together for the level you had. I agree that as teachers we should always be challenging our students. I would have liked to have seen more culture, but I do think your suggestion is a good start to incorporating it. I would just say instead of limiting it to just dogs, to expand it and make the lesson on animals itself. Then you could have students match the animal to its native country.</p>

<p>Hi Tanya,</p>
<p>I thought that your lesson had nice characteristics, I like how you included a “do now” in your lesson. However, you could have incorporated more exercises for your students to do at the intermediate low level with the reading phases assigned. I also agree with your understanding about adding the dogs from different countries could have added culture into the lesson.</p>

<p>Hi Maria,</p>
<p>I really enjoyed your micro-lesson on “Cinco de Mayo”. I thought the way it was presented to the class, was very organized and well put together. I also think that the topic you chose is one that many students are familiar with, since its also celebrated in the United States. I agree with you about the vocabulary and having more illustrations that go with the vocab, that was something a lot of people realized after it was pointed out.</p>

<p>Hi Talia, I found your lesson to be interesting and informative because you implemented the culture of Spain in this case La feria de Sevilla because not many students are not very familiar with, it makes it more interesting found. Moreover, your lesson is accurate for the level you have been given. the lessons you’ve created are very interactive, fun I also like how you added a video in your presentation at the end like an incentive to forward after the work.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> For our second micro-teaching activity, I did a lesson based on ACTFL- reading, intermediate low sub level and had to include the three phases for reading comprehension. I found my lesson to be interesting but it would only prepare the students on a novice level. I could have incorporated more cultural aspects as well as longer lectures since at an intermediate level they could be challenged a little more. That's the only thing I could have done differently in order to prepare students to expand their knowledge. Since my topic was based on dogs, I could have incorporated a dog from Latin America for example so the students could find it more interesting. I could have assigned different types of dogs around the world so the students could find the information about it and could have shared it in the class. I could also implement videos and pictures that can catch the students attention. In the pre reading face, I could include different pictures of different dogs and have them match it to the correct country instead of letting them have an easy do now. It is very important to have the students' interest and dedication in a classroom. We should be able to challenge our students at any level. Comprehension can be often uneven but teachers should do the best in order for students to perform well. My lesson could have been better, I will make sure to incorporate the appropriate tasks. The three reading phases are a helpful method in order to make lessons for any level.</span></span></span></p> For this micro-lesson I was…tag:www.classroom20.com,2020-03-16:649749:Comment:12077902020-03-16T04:07:36.930ZMaria Paviahttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MariaPavia

As well as, implement culture which is a key factor when trying to teach. I believe this was a great way for us to teach students about other cultures and preparing us to use this strategy of levels to formulate a lesson based on the class you are given.</p>

<p>Somethings I would I have done differently is for my pre-reading slides, are not having a vocabulary list and rather add pictures next to the vocabulary because this helps enrich the lesson by helping students using their own knowledge and forcing them to speak the language. And a great way for student participation .Another thing I would have done differently is switching my True and false first rather than having the comprehension skills question. This gives students to work harder and uses their comprehension skills from the reading provided. On the other hand, something I could have implemented is a small clip of Cinco de mayo for Visual learners after the lesson, more or less on like an incentive after hard work also a great way to wrap up what they have learned. Furthermore, what I could have done to implement more culture into the lesson is having student turn and talk within their groups and talk about their own festive holidays they celebrate and learn from amongst each other.</p>
