Observation of the class  N° 1

I.E. R La Esmeralda Pto Rico Caquetá

The Class starts at 10:00 AM, students oscillate at an age of 8 to 10 years. The teacher makes an introduction Pre-knowledge of the topic to be discussed and begins with a small dynamic to encourage the children, after them draw a route on the board, where it marks the beginning of the points to develop, until ending with class.

I observe that some children are apatico to the class, they show difficulty with the development of some points of the activity, saying that it is very difficult to write a dialogue, and then go out to the board to say it because the pronunciation is very different, something understandable and what happens very often in English classes, its pronunciation is not the best, because you hear that lack of knowledge of the phonetics of the language, something that for me is difficult, because I think it is a complicated issue, a more in children of this age , where everything is asked and they want to know the true meaning of things, I think that the planning of the class should be reviewed and some adjustments made, so that the objectives of oral and corporal expression are successful, this class must cross over with another area , for example it can be with the subject of Artistry, with a small presentation of puppets or puppets or a play with some easy personages that motivate the child, where it is enjoyed and significant learning is achieved. Despite this, the children are concerned about being the first, but in the course of the route, they manifest frustrating by not understanding some steps. The teacher is in constant rotation and clear doubts and explains to the children what they can not do, for them to achieve it, it is evident that she manages the subject, has a good pronunciation and is loving with each of the children, something very important because it encourages them to overcome their fears and increase their security.

In this class there are several important moments and the first is the way they want the child to make a dialogue, but a series of rules is lacking in their preparation, such as the conjugation of verbs, present, past, future, which define the actions in any language, so it would be very important to reinforce this topic and others such as pronunciation and writing, with small, games, lotteries, word searches and audio listening to achieve more defined skills in each child, I think the teacher in spite of handling the subject, respecting the area plan of their institution should rethink the area plan not modifying its originality if not complementing it with more didactic, taking into account that it must be initiated sequentially by levels according to age and degree of complexity, because you can not tell a child what to do and then do it, without there being certain reasons that encourage the child, because if it were so it would become the class t a bit boring, where the child performs it for a quantitative interest (that of the note) and not for a significant one.

In the final conclusion, I think that the teacher adjusts to school planning and does not dare to look for other ways that complement motivating and achieving the objectives, which results in a behavioral class.

Observation of the class N° 2

Liceo Wnny poo- Doncello Caquetá

The setting of the classroom is very beautiful, there are many drawings in English, children's music, it is a pretty colorful classroom, the teacher says that the main objective of the Liceo is that the child acquires skills in escuha and pronuciación.

Today's class consists of knowing the animals of the farm in learning the pronunciation and imitating sounds of each of them. Start with a small introduction doing an exercise of coordination and laterality to activate the cerebral hemispheres something new in my experience as a student.

The teacher has prepared an important number of material, such as silhouette paper, cardboard, newspaper, magazines, colors, crayons, paint and brushes, where he writes the name on the board and next to the writing places an image so that the children can recreate it and they begin to produce the pronunciation of each of them, as well as their imitation.

This class is very good because children learn by doing, with this one works several skills like (listening and speaking) besides others that the child recreates as the improvement of fine and gross motor through manual didactic works where the child is the protagonist of the class, this makes each one of the boys feel attracted by the theme and enjoy it to the fullest, building the masks with each of the images, writing, and vocalizing the phonetics and practicing the pronunciation, which makes a quite process good in the stage of preparation or initiation of a child of preschool level.

The class from its beginning to the end, is active, children are very tender, and loving, so it demands a loving treatment with a technical language that transmits confidence and security in interpersonal relationships, this causes a fluid communication between the teacher and the children, where it is very important to solve every doubt expressed by the infants.

Personally I like the class, I think it is replicable in other grades, as long as the level of complexity is increased because the subject is clear but also the curriculum is prepared for the child to learn by doing or building the subject of the class, which allows the class to be an esenario of team learning, It is also very important to rescue the space of the evaluation of the class where the children discuss in company with the teacher that they like? That he does not like me? What was the part where you had the most difficulty? This means that the guidelines for quantitative assessment are set, which would close with a very good result the competences acquired by the children who participated in the class with the teacher of the magic class as expressed by the children.

Observation of the class N° 3

Colegio Col Socorro- Paujil Caquetá

The student population for this class are adolescents between 14 and 16 years of age, 10th grade

The theme for the class is the time or the hour in English. The teacher starts the class with a relaxation exercise, breathing management, and begins with an introduction (Pre-knowledge), then writes on the board the points to be developed and the objectives that are intended to achieve with the class.

This class shows that it has been very well prepared in advance, the teacher has enough material for the construction of the task, distributing enough to each group, then they watch a 10-minute video that explains some dialogues where some people interact with the theme of the hour. The class consists of making a clock with a second and minute hand that rotates its pointers and that marks the hours, and then the group goes out to make an exhibition where they explain the theme and where they mention some hours. It is very important to emphasize that during the development of the task the teacher lets a background music sound that says certain hours this makes the students have a good learning environment and concentrate on what they do, in this work creativity stands out of young people, and the exchange of ideas for the design of the watch, which makes it a meaningful class, where values, teamwork, aesthetics and the desire to achieve a better level of English are highlighted and this too it is due to the confidence that the teacher transmits, listening, exchanging opinions and guiding the student to achieve the previously written objectives.

In this class a good communication is evidenced, which allows the doubts to be quickly removed, resulting in the speed of the delivery of the product requested by the teacher. The third moment is to make the presentations by group where they expogate each of their works, this is a very important part because students create a debate of what they have learned and this causes each other to complement and level their knowledge, this method is known as constructivist, where you want to achieve a level that benefits everyone.

The class in conclusion is a good class, it is evidenced the planning in advance to present the content of the subject and then the recreation of the task with the help of all, the method that the teacher adopts is ecxelente because it allows to achieve a significant learning, where away from the usual and boring teaching and presents a new way of giving a class that mixes the theoretical, practical, with the purpose of the student taking ownership of the subject and feel attracted to develop and share these activities, as he said andrea a young man of 15 years "here we all learn from everyone" very good class.
