Brief narrative or description of the speaking lesson:
In the first part of the lesson, students answered personal information questions, previously studied in
previous elections. Then the students should comprehensively read an article about: "The resurrection
of Radamel Falcao Garcia ". Therefore, students were presented with some necessary vocabularies to
describe the parts of the house. Next, the students resolved a didactic resource. Finally, the students, in
turn, described some images using the learned vocabulary.
How successful were activities and materials?
Activity, where students answered some questions of personal information, was successful, the
students responded to them with special interest and use of adjectives and situation to enrich their
responses. The online teaching resource, it also worked properly and produced several smiles on
students, the last activity on the description of the image was moderately successful, since some
resources that should be taken at the web could not be connected due to the low quality on the internet
as a result of the winter.
What departures did you make from the original lesson plan?
Yes, I think they were a total of three departures from the original plan since the links to resources was
not loading properly or on time, and to remedy the situation a little had to improvise on more than one
occasion.
What difficulties did learners experience in different stages of the lesson?
Yes, I think that my feelings of frustration and helplessness felt since my students were afraid to give
their responses and confused to make descriptions, as a result of which the link to resources for
vocabulary and grammatical structure they were not presented with total quality, must to my low
internet connectivity.
2. What aspects of the lessondid you feel were particularly successful?
Think that the questions that are improvised served to learn a little more about my students, as well as
give them the opportunity to ask questions and get answers more complete and rich in vocabulary.
What aspects of the lessondid not work particularly well? Why?
Yes, the link to the online educational resources not operated due to winter and the layer of fog that sits
in the atmosphere of my people in the hours of the night. By which, I had to improvise with other
activities to impersonate the waiting time, which made me feel uncomfortable and with the temptation
of admitting any failure in the electrical connection log.
What aspects of the lessonshould be done differently next time?
I´m sure, that the solution is not present other content but provide for some contingencies that may
arise as a result of the strong winter.
