I really liked this class because the reading was according with the children. Also, the materials were very nice. They had a good manage with the kids and I believe that all these classes help us to improve our knowledge because every class our classmates do a good job like this class.

Post- listening: A crossword was pasted on the board. Then, the teacher had to spin a bottle on the floor and the students that was the first to be pointed, had to go and complete it.

Wrap- up: The students had to find a paper in the classroom if they found a sad face; they had to pass in front to make a mimic about any profession.

I consider that this class was very funny. The materials very colorful, also the audio was according with the topic and all the development of the lesson, too. Teachers had a good manage with the students. On the other hand, the worksheet that the teachers used for the children in the stage of during-listening was not very well because students could complete the worksheet without the audio.

Skill: Reading

Warm- up: The teachers and students played a memory game. Students had to find the same two pictures about the school items.

 Pre- reading: The teacher presented some new words. Then, the class was divided in two groups and the teacher gave to each groups some markers and pieces of paper too. The teacher said an object and the students had to draw it and be the first one to do it.

During-reading: A reading was given by the teacher. They sat down on the floor and the teacher read aloud the questions that they had to answer.

Post- reading:   It was a work group. They did a puzzle.

I liked the game that teachers did about the memory game because children were funny with this activity. On the other hand, it was really difficult to manage this kind of students because most of the time they made noise and the teachers tried to make the activities that they had prepared for them, but it was not possible develop perfectly.
