<p>Hello Melinda, </p>
<p>I really enjoyed your presentation! I agree with that fact that you and your partner could have found a "middle-ground" that implements both the Spanish and English language because some of the slides did consist of more complex Spanish grammar and vocabulary that may or may not be appropriate for adolescent students. Or maybe, you can really take into consideration the Spanish level students are at, and implement the lesson at that level. I believe that will not only…</p>

I believe that will not only put the students Spanish skills to use but it will also help them enhance their verbal and listening skills! </p> Hello Selena,

<p>Hello Selena,</p>
<p>Your micro-teaching activity was one of my favorite! I enjoyed how you and your partner really put in time and effort into the powerpoint, the worksheet, and the little baggies. As a visual learner myself, I found it really helpful that you did not just simply give the meanings to the vocabulary words, like many traditional teachers do. You not only presented the color in Spanish, but you also included the colors that corresponded. This can help all learners create a…</p>

<p>Your micro-teaching activity was one of my favorite! I enjoyed how you and your partner really put in time and effort into the powerpoint, the worksheet, and the little baggies. As a visual learner myself, I found it really helpful that you did not just simply give the meanings to the vocabulary words, like many traditional teachers do. You not only presented the color in Spanish, but you also included the colors that corresponded. This can help all learners create a connection with the content. So the next time they see something red whether it be in the classroom or not, they will associate it with "rojo," or in that case any color you have taught! </p> Hello Geomyra,

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I did not have the opportunity to see you presentation, however i read your comment and I think is very motivated the way that you integrate all the students and the students with these disabilities. I love the fact that you guys were very creative to come out to a game plan because this activity will be fun and educative for the students.</span></p>

<p>Maria, <br/>I congratulate you for the presentation, it was very educational for us, I liked the methodology you used, the use of the presentation of colors and numbers first to understand the subject and the activities helped to put into practice what was learned. It was very uplifting and I know the students will learn a lot in this way. I know that you can do more activities where you practice this lesson</p>

<p><span>Hola Fazima! I enjoyed your presentation and appreciate the time both you and Geomyra put into the use of realia into your lesson plan. The inclusion of an activity that requires TPR was also of interest to me because as a future educator I have been curious about the ways in which it could be incorporated into a lesson plan.

I don’t remember if you had mentioned what level/grade the lesson plan was designed for, however, I am concerned with it being age appropriate, and it prompted me to consider what types of TPR activities would be for adolescents. Taking into consideration the special physical needs that you were presenting for, I believe reducing the amount of words included in the instruction along with some Venn diagrams and flow charts to show cause and effect and create connections visually would also be helpful. </span></p> Hola Carolina!

<p>Hola Carolina!</p>
<p>In my opinion I liked that you incorporated culture into your lesson because it helps students to expand and have an understanding of a culture they aren't accustom and those who can relate were able to identify with it. Additionally, your lesson also contributes to show different cultural aspects of different Latin American countries, just like you mention before, music, gastronomy, famous people and history. </p>

<p>Our micro-teaching activity had an objective and is to be able to connect Spanish-speaking students who have some knowledge in their culture. taking advantage of this cultural knowledge for the use of Spanish language and thus making the students feel not only identified, but they can speak in Spanish and share in class something that is of interest about their culture, and the other students can learn more about the different cultures. during the presentation we use projection with videos that help students identify with the use of words, we also use pictures so that students identify with their culture and so when asked to do an activity they have an idea of what is expected and encourage them to use the language.<br/>during the presentation, we had 1 student who felt not identified with the activity, since she did not know much about their culture. I would change the activity a little so that the students do not know their culture have other options and can identify with any of them. I learned through this micro-teaching that before doing an activity with students, we should know our students a little, and what I would do is make a list of the things that students know about their culture and then let each student choose among the options that are presented, for example, culture, music, history, gastronomy, etc.</p>
<p>finally, I think that these micro teachings help us understand that we are not only teachers to teach a curriculum, but it is also more than this. It is to be able to make a connection between the students and use their knowledge that they have about their culture and their native language for the use of Spanish in class.</p> Hi Geomyra,
