SELF EVALUATION FORM (WRITTEN REFLECTION)
(Please complete all parts of this form after teaching your lesson)

I consider that the second one was achieved. I saw them working on creating these sentences and asking me for some pieces of advice, also at the end, I heard them talking like this into their groups. On the other hand I felt a little bit worried when I asked to report another one sentence and they struggled a lot, I noticed it during the warm up. Then I tried to encourage them to work without caring about committing mistakes, even though some of them understood and they done their best, but I felt a little bit disappointed with some of them who were so lazy, they pretend to make the teachers and the group believe that they were working but at the end, they weren’t able to make the minimum utterances by speech they wrote the sentences but they seemed so unaware of the purpose of the activity, I will consider being more authoritative or arbitrary with them for example I myself assign them the roles and make a considerably removing of the freedom of choice in order to avoid them use this factor as a way to be lazy. |

-To create a supportive environment where students feel confident speaking Yes and not, because some of them were able to speak with confidence during the activities also they seemed so confident and encouraged to participate but I realised that a bunch of them know they are not so strong on speaking and instead of make a effort, they don’t attend to my intention of make them feel confident whilst speaking, They prefer to waste the time or speaking as whispering in a way that no one can heard them eventually I found it very problematic because it becomes impossible for whoever teacher make some suggestions, corrections or assessing if they try to avoid the purpose of the activity. I as a teacher felt as a fool because of things like this, even though perhaps it was because my expectations were very demanding. I felt overwhelmed but I understand that this is part of the process. Also the observer teacher and my asesor they tried to explain to me the dynamic of this type of planning and the pitfalls or disappointments we may be facing in every class and with whatever group. |

The most difficult activities went better I don’t know why, I start to think that it is because despite i had planned two activities that were only produce a pair of sentences and interact with each other calculated for 15 minutes preparing, but they took as three times that 15 minutes only preparing the discourse they had to say; I mean they messed the activity because they rarely asked for advice and when I came to their groups in order to observe their productions they acted like they don’t care, but, on the other hand those groups with the activity intended for spending at least 30 minutes for prepare, they were ready at the moment I asked them I could see them with their productions completed specifically the front page of the magazine and the social media post. They make me feel proud of myself and those two groups, especially those kids who were so encouraged because they asked me for advice and when I came to their group to observe they made the attempt to do their best. Also They showed me their drafts and they acted like they were really enjoying the activity. I think it worked well because they tend to write or draw without the factor of shame. Station 1 (Celebrity Magazine): 30 minutes Worked fine Station 2 (Tourist Translation): 15-20 minutes Didn't work as I mentioned Station 3 (Social Media): 30 minutes Worked fine almost so so Station 4 (Las Viejitas): 15-20 minutes Worked so so with one group with the other not |

The activities that didn't work well were mainly Station 2 (Tourist Translation) and part of Station 4 (Las Viejitas), which were planned for shorter times of 15-20 minutes preparing. These activities had problems because students needed much more time than planned and didn't seem interested in working. Students didn't ask for help and when the teacher came to check their work, they didn't seem to care about doing it well. We can see these problems clearly because the activities that were meant to take 15 minutes ended up taking 45 minutes, and in Las Viejitas, one group did okay but the other group didn't work well at all. This was very different from the longer 30 minute activities where students did much better, which shows that shorter and less organised tasks didn't help some students stay interested or do good work. Also I consider it was because they were shy. The feedback stage also didn't work because I couldn't share the feedback at the end because the institution was implementing an emergency simulation and they made all of us leave the classroom, but I had prepared the feedback . |
