Topic/Skill: Adjective Clauses and Articles

Teacher Presentation: The teacher started by reviewing the last class' grammar and their homework assignment.  He allowed the students to explain their answers to each other instead of him just taking over. He then went over the expectations for the next class' quiz so students know exactly what to expect. He then started the main lesson on articles, which was a review from previous classes, however, he also introduced what he called "the tricky ten", which were ten rules about articles that are difficult to understand and remember. After explaining each rule he asked students to create examples with him. Additionally, he had the students read the rules aloud so he could test their reading ability and correct pronunciation if necessary. 

Classroom Management: The teacher encouraged student participation and kept everyone engaged. 

Materials: Online textbook, word doc. 

Student Participation: Everyone gave answers and participated in the class activity as well as reading aloud.

Feedback Provided: The teacher provided detailed feedback on their responses to in-class questions and their dictation. Additionally, the teacher had the students help each other before he helped them so they could better learn the material (teaching and doing).

Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: The class I was watching was intermediate, so I learned how to juggle between making sure I'm not just repeating everything they already know and not giving them content that is too difficult.

For feedback, I said that there were 1 or 2 mistakes relating to verb tense but pronunciation, speech rate, and vocabulary were very good. The activity provided an opportunity to learn new vocabulary or find alternatives that fit a situation better.
