On Wednesday May 20th I observed Ms. Vicky Golen’s foundation grammar class. This was a small class which allowed for meaningful classroom interaction. The activity for today's class was all about the present continuous tense. The first thing the class did was a quick review on Yes/No questions and how to answer them. We did a quick activity where we asked each other yes/no questions and had to answer them without using yes or no. This was a good exercise because it involved the whole class and showed them grammar in use. The main lesson for today was the present continuous tense. We quickly went over the rules of using this tense and had some sample questions for the student to see and solve. After the quick explanation we went outside and did an activity involving the present continuous tense. In this activity the students had to write 6-8 sentences using the present continuous tense about things they saw happening outside. I liked this activity because we got to go outside and learn, it was fun for me and the students! I liked this activity and cant wait to learn more about teaching through observing.
