Fifth Journal

Week from June 4th to June 7th, 2019

In this week, I had all the classes with 801. On Tuesday, I did the second intervention of my innovation plan and it was really good. My students like the idea of using short stories to improve reading comprehension skills. In this intervention, I did a pre-reading activity called questions from pictures in order to contextualize students with the short story. In the while activity, students had to read the short story and write five sentences that summarize the story. Finally, the post-reading the activity was a question quiz. My students did really well, they participated in all the activities and they enjoyed it. On Wednesday, It was horrible, When I came to the classroom, students were shouted and they did not want to be quiet. Also, my supervisor went that day to observe my class and it was terrible. I planned activity in order to review vocabulary, it was a crossword and my students liked it a lot. But, it was a mess when I asked them to complete a big crossword that I did in cardboard and put on the board, because of all of them wanted to participate and there were just ten words. The next time that I do this kind of activities, I will choose the students to participate.

This week, the class with 802 was just an hour, and I did the same activity (crossword). This activity was better with them because they behaved well and when we had to complete the crossword on the board, I chose the students. Some of them wanted to participate and they were a little angry because they couldn’t do it. I did not feel really well but I did not want to have a mess in my classroom again.
