Assignment 5 ★ May 20 , 2005

☆ Reflection on SNIFFLE's Lesson ☆
Good points of their resson
・ They told students the goal of today's lesson , so Everybody could understood what we learn today .
・ When teachers read the dialogue , they acted out using pictures and charts . Besides teachers repeated important sentences . When they read key words of the sentences , they read it slowly and clearly .
・ I thought that the way of practicing number is very marvelous !! Without notice teachers faded out . (contextualizing→coaching→scaffolding→fading) (At first we repeated after teacher slowly , next we repeated quickly , finally we counted number by ourself .)
・ They did conprehension checks . (They designed activities so students can test their knowledge .)
・ They gave a good account of students , after we prasticed hard .
・ They did gestures .
One of teacher wrote imortant grammar on the blackboard .

The points they might try doing differently in the future .
・ They could teach how to pronounce plural"s" and They could give them other examples of it .
(pens[z] , books[s] , buses[iz])
They could teach the grammatical rule of plural .
・ They could teach how to say 58 , 139 etc .
(I think that it is hard for beginner students to understand how to say it .)
・ They could teach new words of "Queen Burgers" menu . And using the menu , students could act out practically to practice how to order menus and how to say number .
*If teachers let students act out , they should teach "thousand". If students order many memus , students will confuse how to say large number .
They could give students chances to practice dialogue with students' partner .

I could enjoy myself ☆ Sniffle's class was devised well !! Junior high school students will be interested in learning English if students took their class (V)o¥o(V) I feel admiration for their wonderful lesson ☆★☆
