Lesson self-assesment

A.Recalling the lesson

6. What was the balance of ‘teacher doing things’ compared with ‘students doing things’ in
the lesson?
There were activities that involved the student and their participation in class. Overall,
students participated a lot in things of the lesson, for example at the time of reading an
instruction or explaining what the activity is about. It was a very balanced class between the
student and the teacher.

9. Recall one moment in the lesson when you had a clear decision to make between one
option and another. What were the options you chose and rejected?
I had to decide almost at the end of the class if I had to send them to breakout rooms or if
they should work on the main session for an activity. I chose to work in the main session
because breakout rooms would take too much time and would be more difficult to bring
back the attention of the students, that’s why I chose to work on the main session.

B.Reflecting on the lesson

5. At what points could you have been clearer?
I could have been clearer at the time of expressing the idea of the activity, the purpose and
the instructions. Also, there were parts where I got a bit nervous and made my voice
tremble, so that distracted me from explaining correctly everything.

7. Where were the main challenges for the students?

At the activities using the vocabulary, because there were animals names that they hadn’t
heard of before, so they had to review again and finish the activities.

C.Drawing conclusions; making plans

5. What have you learned about your students?
I have learned that is okay to be nervous at first, but I have to gain confidence so my
students can feel like they can ask questions to me without me losing the point of what I
was saying. They thaught me I can talk about the lesson and I can make a little stop to
clarify a point.
