My Error analysis !!!!

I wrote this 1.      I like people call me just Ale!  2.      I got consciousness the important of learning and speaking another language had it  3.      Even tough, 4.      I really need to imrpove a lot of things like my confident and my nervoues at the begining of teaching a class so 5.      they do not have develop the prefrontal cortex whcich the adults has so that makes them 6.      they are develop the limbic area  7.      hey do not have a self control to mesure the consecuences abou 8.      we have to look differents strageries 9.      to make them get involve in the activities

I should have written 1.      People can call me Ale! 2.      I realized the importance of learning and speaking a second language was. 3.      Although. 4.      I really need to improve a lot of things such as my nerves at the beginning of teaching a class. 5.      They have not developed the prefrontal cortex. On the other hand, the adults have already acquired, so that make them… 6.      They are just developing the limbic area. 7.      They do not have self-control to measure the consequences about. 8.      We have to look for others strategies. 9.      In order to they can get involved in all the activities.

Did it help you? How did it help you? How did you feel after doing the exercise? Would you do this with your students? Without doubt this error analysis really helped me to realized that I committed basic mistakes in my blog because being honestly I did it quickly, I did not even check it .I Just wrote without paying attention the coherence and the finger errors; and that was because I was kind of procrastinated person. After I did this activity I felt bad because I could do it better but because of wait until the last minute to do it I made many basic mistakes in which I already know the correct writing. Definitely, I would apply this kind of task with my students in the future because in this way students can analyze what´s are the mistakes they have committed and how is the correct way to write it and that helps students to improve and to recognize the error to avoid the next time.

My Second Time as a Teacher Assitant, was Awesome!!

Describe activities your mentor teacher was doing	Describe the way students reacted to the activities	Describe what came to your mind while observing the activity. Would you do the same? Why? Would you modify it? Why?
·         I started the class with the builder community and was” sharks are coming” in this game  students  had to walk around the classroom in a circle and when I said “sharks are coming” students had to ask how many and I said a number so they had to look for  the number of people I mentioned to get into groups and the once that lost they had to answer some questions about the previous class. ·         Then teacher assigned everybody a partner to work in a page. The page given was about the last topic of global warming , after that teacher gave them some important instruction in Spanish in order to make everything clear because there were some students making some mess in the class, so after that students calmed down. Later on, teacher started to ask them the answers of the worksheet given and she did it randomly asking one student a number then she asked other student left or right and the student with the direction just said it and the student who had the number when she counted he/she had to answer the question  and so on. ·         Then teacher asked them to read the last article for the ones that could not come the last Saturday and for the ones that came too. ·         After that, students were to the lab to do the quiz and that last 40 minutes. ·         After that, teacher played a video about the global warming . she played twice and the second time she asked them for specific questions and what could they infer about of some vocabulary. ·         Finally teacher did a warm up very nice, she asked them to stand up and every student had to look for a partner to shake their hands, give a hug and to turn around and when she counted 3 the last  person to sit had to answer a question about the reading.	·         Students were participating and they enjoyed it the game. ·         Some students were making some mess in the class but after the instruction of the teacher they started to work on their page. ·         Students were in silent paying attention, ·         The students that did not come the last Saturday they were reading the article but the ones that came they were bored or wasting their time in others things. ·         They did the quiz ·         Some students were writing some details and others were just watching the video. ·         Students were very focus on no to loss.	I would do it in my future classes because I think is a game in which you can include all students in the activity. ·         I think that the way she called their attention was correct because in that way they calmed down so I would do the same. ·         I would do the same because I could see that really works. ·         I would no do it this because I think is a waste of time so I would ask the students that came the last class to explain the others one what the text is about. ·         I would do the same but I only would change that I would ask them since the very beginning for the specific questions . ·         I really liked this warm up I woul do it in the same way because is a good activity to make students have fun and at the same time they are having an assessment.

The most meaningful teaching technique from my mentor teacher was the last part of the class because although, is was just a game was very attractive for the students´ attention and they had fun but learning .

My First Experience as a Teacher Assitant

Describe activities your mentor teacher was doing	Describe the way students reacted to the activities	Describe what came to your mind while observing the activity. Would you do the same? Why? Would you modify it? Why?
·         At the beginning of the class, teacher started asking one specific student to pass in front to write the date on the board. ·         After that, teacher started the class asking what the global warming was and at the same time she was writing on the board all the things students were saying. ·         Later on, teacher asked students to stand up and to make a circle, she started to ask some questions about the last class, asking one by one about what they remembered. ·         Then, teacher asked students to make pairs , and she begun to dictate some words related with the global warming and at the same time she was spelling the words .once she finished to dictate the words she asked them to write a definition  by themselves without dictionaries just with their own words. ·         When students finished the previous activity, teacher asked them to interchange pairs to share their meanings and compare each other about it.at the same time teacher was walking around monitoring every pair. ·         After this activity, teacher asked them to go outside to another group to ask some questions  of the book related with the global warming. ·         Then, teacher asked students to read one by one  an article of the book about the global warming and while every student was reading  the teacher made some pauses  when someone pronounced a word in a correct way in order to correct them. ·         After finishing the reading teacher asked them specific questions about the new vocabulary of the article ·         After some minutes teacher sked them to stand up and she started  to ask them one by one three words of the article they could remember about the new vocabulary . ·         Finally, teacher asked them a number from 1 to 12 and the person who guessed the number won a candy. She did three times.	·         The student felt good because she was being taken into account by the -teacher. ·         Some students started to make a brainstorm of all the things that came to their minds about the topic. ·         Students were much participated, so that means they felt comfortable doing this.   ·         Students were very quiet, focus on what the teacher was dictating. Students were working in the task. ·         Students were working in the activity they talked about other things but without letting to do the activity asked. ·         Students were nerves and very shy at the moment of asking the questions to the new classmates. ·         Students were with fear to say a word they were not sure how to pronounce. ·         Some students answered the questions others just were in silent. ·         Students were answering the questions. ·         Students were anxious.	·         I would do the same because is a good way to wake up students. ·         I would do almost the same but I would do it with different images with the problems of the global warming in a power point presentation, in order to make it more attractive. ·         I would use this technique because is a good way to have a better control of the class and also  students do not get bored and at the same time is a god opportunity to make students speak. ·         I definitely, I would do the same because I think this is an activity in which students activate their brains because they put in practice the grammar structures and vocabulary they know. ·         I would add one thing may be I would ask them to share the information with class one by one. ·         I would do the same because is a great activity to make students interact  with new people and that is such as real life. ·         I would use this technique of reading one by one because most of the people think reading is kind of boring and with this way students are paying attention and waiting for their turns to read. I just would change the way to correct them, because I think that would be better to do it at the end of the reading  so , I would make them to repeat three times every single mispronounced word buy everybody together. ·         I would do the same but just asking what´s the meaning or the new vocabulary but I would use some flash cards to this, ·         I would do it different, I would make two groups and I would ask them the same questions but such as competition in order to make it more funny. ·         I think I would do the same because I consider that candies should be given at the end of a class but not in the class.

The most meaningful teaching  technique from my mentor teacher was the dictated because although, is something very common I could see how this really works activating the brains of their students at the moment of they have to think and at the same time they put in practice all vocabulary and structures they already know.
