TASK 1: COLLABORATION ACTIVITIES

1. What kind of activity did you perform the first time you were asked for help?
How long did it take?

First and Second grade:

We worked with a funny listening activity, by singing a song called: “Hello, hi and
good bye”, “dippity, dippity” and other called “sing the colors”.
This activity took about fifteen minutes.

It is important to say that children of first and second grade work with the same book
“Bounce 1”, so they have learnt the same songs.

2. What were the students doing before you started helping out?

They were talking each other and some of them didn’t want to work with the activity.
So I explained them that if they do the written activity in their books, we would sing the
songs. They really liked that idea.
At the beginning, it was a little difficult to some of them to ask me for help, but with the
time they were more comfortable with my help.

It is important to mention that as little children, they need a lot of attention and love,
in spite of it is a little difficult sometimes to be patient, but I try to do my best and I
think I have won a very good relationship with them.

3. How did the students react? Describe the atmosphere of the room and the levels of
engagement in the room.

They reacted in a very good way. They called me as a teacher every time they needed
my help. It was a really nice experience, because I felt I was a utile teacher in that
moment, but I must say that as a teacher that works with little kids, it is necessary to be
more patient. The atmosphere was calm and most of them collaborated in the task of
the activities.

4. What other assignments were asked you to do? How often?

I helped the guide teacher to show them the flashcards and give them the prepared
material.
I had to check their homework in the class.
5. Were asked you to prepare any kind of special audio visual material learning material
for the students? Were they used? How effective were they?

No, I wasn’t, but the teacher asked me to find the website of the Bounce book, in order
to prepare interactive material for them.

TASK 2: LESSON PLANNING

1) How did you get the information for planning the lessons for your students?

First and Second grade

I got the information from my guide teacher at school and from the student book and
homework book she let me.

2) Did your guide teacher give you any suggestions for planning?

My guide teacher suggested me to plan according to the level and reality of the students.
She gave me the model of the lesson plan used at the school.
I received a suggestion from Mr. Rodrigo González when he checked our lesson plans
at the University.

3) How long did it take to you to prepare learning material for your first lesson?

It took me around two hours and to tell you the truth I got desperate, but I did it great, I
guess. I think it is something normal to have some difficulties by preparing material at
the beginning.
