Teacher Anna

Today my post is dedicated to my classmate, Anna. On the 20^th November, she taught the students of 4^th ESO for the first time and she did it very well! Congratulations to her! I also was there and I hope that she felt comfortable with my presenceJ. This lesson is focused on learning English through songs and the level of the students is very low and they have still difficulties to speak Spanish or Catalan.

Before the lesson, Anna prepared a survey to know the favourite artists and songs of the students and she asked for three volunteers to help her during the lesson and to choose the activities that they were more interested in. Finally, they decided together to work with the song Umbrella by Rihanna.

The important day arrived and Anna did it wonderful! During the whole lesson I recorded Anna and it was very interesting to see the students through the lens of the camcorder. The video clip of the song that is hosted in Youtube was projected in the wall and the students must order the different fragments of the song and hang them out on the wall, while they were watching it. Afterwards, they had to do some exercises related to the song like one to fill in the blanks, another to link different sentences, etc. Everybody was very motivated and at the end of the lesson they wanted to listen to the song again, although the bell had rung. Good job, Anna!
