Summary
At the beginning of the class, I wrote the LO and the headline. Also, I wrote the specific goals on the board.
Asked them about the connective words and I gave each group A3 papers and I asked them to write the
connectives words that they know on the papers. I prepared for them boxes include the pens. The children
were very excited to write and they work together. In the transition I clapped my hands and asked them to
return the pens in the boxes.
Then, I provide for each peer a book. I asked them to search for several connective words and write them
on papers. I told them that the peer who write the higher amount of connective words will win and et 10
dojos. So, the students were very excited and they were engaged in searching.
After that, I divide the class in three levels. The higher level, medium and low levels. And I gave each group
instructions. First, level 3 activity for (HA) was about creating a newspaper report about wolves in the walls.
They should use the connective words and the Pie Corbett's actions. Second group (MA) activity,
Was about reading the second paragraph in the newspaper article and then write a new paragraph using
their own characters. And finally for level 1 (LA) was about reading the newspaper article and then discuss
and write simple sentences adding connective words based on their books. I observed how the children
were involved in their activities. I was walking around them and helping them.
At the end of the lesson, I asked each group to perform their work. And I think performance part very
important to make sure that children did their work and to check their understanding.
Suggestions
I need to expand the idea about the connective words and make them understand the concepts.
I should make sure that student`s answers are correct.
Personal Focus for next lesson
I need to use variety of strategies for classroom management.
I need to model the activities like using gestures, facial expressions.
