REFLECTIVE TEACHING

Journal # 7 For this week, Halloween was approaching so with group 1004 it seemed fair to do a class that surrounded this theme for students to learn about Halloween history, a common vocabulary used during that date and a part of the class, the post to be more precise crafts were made to create halloween objects, each activity became a group. The last activity that was to create a craft was intended to promote cooperative work and the projection of the video was for students to have an idea of the origins of Halloween since many of us linked it with our cultural history and actually our culture appropriate other customs.

The group that was going to observe me was 1002, I brought all my activities and because the class did it according to those activities within a time range that allowed me to develop each one. but obviously I felt that I was speeding to cover all the activities which did not allow me to properly socialize each one. At the end of the class, it was time for feedback and, obviously, among the points to discuss was that same, the transition of activities. To improve this management within the class, I had to organize my lesson plan with three activities with which each one could be developed and socialized in an exact time, on the other hand I also had to improve my ways of giving ins...
