French- Observed by Trinity Ahie - Thursday 1st June 2017


Sarah spontaneous observation

What happened
Behaviour
Things to consider
Teaching a sentence “I went to the supermarket and bought…”
Forward going through…
Next time, add an item.

Went off in groups.

You sat with a group to help them.

Matching activity (approx 30 cards)

Ask for attention. Students to put words in bag.

Snap game. With 28 cards. Could split it up?


Oliver “why do we learn French?”

Deyton on phone for a little bit.
Students struggled with “countdown”. Took a while to be quiet for instructions.

Jacob really trying. Great to see.

Seemed like they were great on the mat, and a bit distracted desks.


Students really enjoying snap. A bit loud.
Sentence 13 syllables (7 syllables is)

Sandwich methodology. Great to see you using it. English-French-English

Attention grabbing techniques






You could try examples with a small group first.

Build up for snap…
“Reeeeeeeeeady….. Seeeeeeet…..  Carrot.” They will hear you be quiet.

Summary:

It was an engaging lesson, and you used a lot of the target lesson. Students enjoyed it also.

I would suggest giving them less of the language. You will noticed when you observed, the sentence length was very short (four syllables for the questions, and four syllables for the answer). Give them enough to be successful.

Students didn’t respond well to attention grabbing techniques. As soon as you went to English, they knew you were serious. I struggled with this also. What did you see that I did to get their attention?
