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 .
