<p>Hello Briana,</p>
<p> Overall, the main objective of your group's teaching slice was good because the class heard the song and were able to fill in the blanks with the missing songs from the lyrics. I agree that your group did a good job connecting to the 5 C's and that was very noticeable to everyone. It had all the student's attention plus it was entertaining.

I agree that your group did a good job connecting to the 5 C's and that was very noticeable to everyone. It had all the student's attention plus it was entertaining. Me personally, I enjoy hearing songs in different languages especially when it has a good rhythm therefore I am very sure that your student's would enjoy an activity like this in the future since it's different and from a different culture. It was good that you and your group were able to observe yourselves where the lesson could have been better because that way our next teaching experience can always be better.</p> Hello Margarita,

<p>Hello Margarita,</p>
<p> I think that your group did an interesting teaching slice. It definitely captured everyone's attention which is good. In addition, it was very entertaining and usually that is what is needed for students to pay attention and enjoy what they are learning.

The primary goal of the lesson was to teach students how to describe their partners suitably. Something that educators know is that allowing the students to work with a partner is an excellent way for them to feel connected with their peers. When making an activity that is personal, there will always be positive reactions from the students. While everything went as one planned, both educators should be more aware of the new vocabulary that they are presenting to the students, for some of them might use it differently.</span></p>

It was full of excitement, and it was very personal to the students. The primary goal was for the pupils to be able to describe their classmate with vocabulary that included physical and personality descriptions. As an educator one can see that some of the five C’s are involved. This is very important because one will always want to make those connections. The lesson as done explicitly, fortunately, the pupils were very intriguing with the activity. All educators must be careful of the grammatical errors that might appear in the presentations or exercises; therefore, it is essential for everyone to always triple check ones' work before presenting it.</span></p>

<p> Hello Maria, I found your mini- lesson to be very interesting I like how to you and your partner chose the topic of “La Tomatina” in Spain because it looks like something fun and it grasp your attention as a student. I liked like you covered all the 5 c’s and you seemed to cover everything between the time framed that was given. Great Job!</p>

<p>Hello Margarita, I believe your group did an excellent job you guys covered the 5 c’s and involved modern music which is something that engages the students in a class instead of an old boring music video but like you mentioned we do need to be a bit careful to what kind of lyrics the music has just to be precautions as future educators.

<p> The micro teaching lesson was about speaking. My partner and I presented the lesson starting with the date and some pictures it was introduced implicitly. After that we had someone volunteer and read the date for us then as a class participate and describe each character that was presented to them.

<p> The micro teaching lesson was about speaking. My partner and I presented the lesson starting with the date and some pictures it was introduced implicitly. After that we had someone volunteer and read the date for us then as a class participate and describe each character that was presented to them. This was set as an example for them to get the class ready for the activity which was to have the students engage in conversation by putting them in groups of two so that everyone can practice utilizing the target language for the first level of Spanish with their peers. The topic we chose for the activity was physical and personality descriptions of your partner we thought this would be a good topic for students to get engaged in conversation in the class. Some aspects of the micro teaching that went well was the timing we were able to cover everything in the time frame that we were given. We also accomplished the objective of speaking Spanish using descriptions and the key terms. Some of the negative aspects of the lesson which my classmates pointed out is the grammatical errors in the slides. As future educators, we need to be cautious not to present something ungrammatically incorrect because we would not want the students to grasp the wrong information. If I were to re-teach some parts of the lesson I would make sure that my slides would be grammatically correct without any typos so that students do not get confused.(251words)</p> Hi Margarita,

Further, I do agree that we did a good job in connecting the 5 c’s to the students. It is also possible that we can use other mediums besides music to connect and communicate the listening activity segment with the classroom. Students continue to evolve, and we as educators should be flexible with the tools that we have available for our use.</p>
