On May 28 I observed Felicias' group 2 grammar class at 9:00 am. I chose to observe her class because I really liked the way she taught in her speech class. Similar to her speech class she began with a bell ringer. She had this interesting method of teaching where she would have them do an activity and then ask them why they were doing that activity. For example one activity was she asked a student to describe her husband and then asked why she asked her to do that and the answer was "to review adjectives". I thought this was an interesting style because it was more like the students were doing the lecturing. I also like her way of correcting students by going "sorry. What was that?" The students would always correct themselves after doing this. The thing I found interesting about the students was that a lot of them came in very late to class and they all had to put their phones in "jail". I was wondering if this was maybe this was a class that had trouble paying attention. I found her way of dealing with the phone situation very impressive because she made it seem almost fun rather than a punishment. I really like the way Felicia teaches. If I take the TEFL 200 class I hope to be her TA>
