<p>Oscar, I give you extra credit because you and your partner had some technology difficulties at the beginning of the presentation. However, both of you did a wonderful presentation because the material presented was appropriate for the students’ interest. The video clip provided cultural information about how Mexican’s immigrant had contributed in the socioeconomic development in Staten Island. Also, the implementation of some cognitive skills into the lesson allow students to understand better the content of the lesson. In the future lesson, both of you could implement more material related to the topic. So, students can have a better understanding of the topic.<br/> (103)</p> Xochitl, I like your presenta…tag:www.classroom20.com,2018-09-28:649749:Comment:11777142018-09-28T03:51:49.547ZMaria Rodriguezhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MariaRodriguez43
<p>Xochitl, I like your presentation. You and your partner did a great job because your presentation had the 5Cs.

<p>Hi Briana,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I clearly believe that you and Xochitl did great with your teaching slide. Both you were able to clearly relate the lesson plan to current events and keep the class engaged. The slides and videos were the highlights of the presentation, as I was clearly able to follow the topic that was being presented. You guys clearly hit the big "Cs", which was culture and communication. I would have to say that your teaching style was on point. Great job. </p>

<p><span>Hi Mary,</span></p>
<p><span>You and Mary did an excellent job. Both of you created a great teaching slide. I like the weather activity that you guys did. Your lesson plan was based around the weather, which you were able to phrase into questions to the class. You guys clearly promoted group participation. In my opinion, you reached your goal which is communication. I love your Spanish teaching. Overall, the lesson went well. word count ( 59)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hello Margarita, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your presentation was very well presented. You and David did a great job in presenting your thesis. The part where you guys talked about considering the five senses was smart because some students are visual learners while others prefer reading. Your presentation was culturally presentable. It was smart to use hispanic heritage month. Your right about using personal information of hispanic students in the class for a better aim towards culture. Your questions were very good in my opinion because they were not difficult, especially in the end were used asked broad question really helped the student know what was taught to them. Overall you and David did a fascinating job. (113)</span></p>

Both you and Oscar where able to catch your students attention and interest by connecting your teaching slice to our Staten Island community. In specific when you two asked question regarding the Mexican community it helped many of your students relate since Mexicans play such a huge role in the population of Staten Island today. It also helped your student stay engage and remain focused. I believe you guys had interest, you guys really got my attention especially since I recognized the neighborhood you presented. Regardless of the technical difficulties, that anyone can have, it was very well taught. I believe your teaching slice went good. (126)</span></p> Hello Maria,

The primary goal of the lesson was very noticeable as every other micro teaching slide that was presented to the class. It is important to never forget to utilize the five C’s, something that educators should remember is that is that allowing students to work with a partner is an excellent way for them to feel connected with their peers. You and Mariella had made students feel comfortable when they had the opportunity to choose their partner, as we know some of them feel better when working with a friend. Not only that, but the video that was provided was interesting to watch, one should be careful because there might be times when the video is too fast, and some students will not understand it the first time, it is best to play it twice in order for them to have a better understanding.</span></p>

You have done what was excellent. It was noticeable that the goal you wanted to accomplish was differentiated instruction by readiness, where one focuses on their students' needs and challenges them as the lesson goes on. As one has learned, one must always try to include all of the five C’s, you and your partner had achieved this by including culture and most importantly when connections were made with communities. Demonstrating the effects that the hurricane had in Puerto Rico made the students feel more connected with the disaster.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0px; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">When one presents their lesson plan, one must make sure that they have successfully achieved all of their goals. The main idea of the micro-teaching was to represent the idea based on learning profile. As one is more exposed to the classroom, one realizes that there are many students whom learning techniques vary. Tomlinson (2001) states that “the goals of learning-profile differentiation are to help individual learners understand modes of learning that work best for them, and to offer those options so that each learner finds a good learning fit in the classroom.” In other words, one must be able to have a universal lesson plan to make sure everyone in the classroom is included.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">As a second language educator, one must remember The Standards for Foreign Language Learning (SFLL), which indicate that making connections with the students is important; as well as making the lesson plan cultural and communicative. The lesson that was present was significant for the students because they learned about Hispanic Heritage Month, a cultural event that was happening during the time that the lesson was taught. Not only did one introduce a cultural event, but the students were able to see different professions in the Target Language (TL) while watching a video, listening to the video, as well as reading along with the video. With these tools’ students were able to understand the content that one had planned to teach them.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="margin: 0px; color: black; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Something different that could have been done due to differentiating instruction reasons will be making sure that the questions that students receive are more specific and not very broad, especially when teaching a lower level class. Another thing that could have been done differently is making sure that one uses cognates for the students to understand the content a little better.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span> Culture could have been more incorporated into this lesson by making more personal, as by adding more information based on the student’s community. It is essential to make these connections so that one could never lose the students interests.</span></p>
