<p>Hi Evelyn,</p>
<p>I enjoyed your lesson; it was very colorful and interactive. As VanPatten stated repetition assists with memory and when presenting a good input will cause a good output. I agree in that there should have been more of a cultural view or differentiation of careers in Spanish speaking countries however I feel the one thing that was missing is an assistance on how to pronunciation words with characters students may not feel comfortable with.

<p>Hello Melinda, </p>
<p>I appreciate how you emphasized the importance of pronunciation of certain letters. During my beginner Spanish level classes, it was very rare to come across a teacher that dedicated time to explaining the sounds of certain letters as it is often assumed that just because Spanish and English have the same alphabet that all the letters sound the same phonetically. </p>

<p>Hello Selena, </p>
<p>I really enjoyed your presentation especially considering the fact that you included lots of visuals. This is an example of binding as emphasized by Lee and VanPatten (2003) that "visuals such as pictures and drawings 'anchor' the input... making the idea and references to it more concrete." But, I do agree with the feedback that in the future it would be better to include a pre-reading, while reading, and after reading since this was a lesson directed towards reading…</p>

<p>Hi Dennis I agree with you and Maria on the video part being sort of confusing. For these type of situation like it was mentioned in the classroom, we should do our research regarding videos and textbooks which was our case about our presentation. Overall, I believe the lesson was very colorful and meaningful to the students. </p>

<p>Hi Karolina, </p>
<p>I really enjoyed the lesson you and your classmates presented. However, the presentation could be taken as overwhelming to the students. Like we have read in our readings, we must adjust to the needs of our students and make them as simple as possible in order for them to understand the target language. I liked that you and your group created a two way lesson because there were a lot of useful information. I recommend that it will be much better and easier for students…</p>

<p>I really enjoyed the lesson you and your classmates presented. However, the presentation could be taken as overwhelming to the students. Like we have read in our readings, we must adjust to the needs of our students and make them as simple as possible in order for them to understand the target language. I liked that you and your group created a two way lesson because there were a lot of useful information. I recommend that it will be much better and easier for students to understand the lesson that you all were trying to teach if you and your partners separated them in to two lesson instead of one. For the future in a reading comprehension, your lesson should include sort of a paragraph for the students to read and answer question according to their reading comprehension in the target language. Overall, I really enjoyed your presentation. (178)</p> Hello Fazima,

<p>Hello Fazima,</p>
<p><br/>The micro-teaching activity you and your partner presented was very helpful for your students. It displayed a lot of visuals which is helpful when teaching a language. Also, the activities you prepared were engaging and educative for the class. However, as you mentioned, the listening comprehension must follow a structure and that was missing in your presentation.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hello Fazima,</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The micro-teaching activity that you and your partner presented in class was very dynamic using biding, videos and images for students interest. The activities were fun and educative but the video was not according to the level of the class you were presented. In my opinion the production part was more about writing than listening.
