First observation


So, the great day has come! Today we have known our class!! The group that we will have to observe and what we will have to work with during the next 3 months!!
It's 1st C ESO, almost 30 children together!!

We went into the class and we wait that teacher introduce us to the students, but none of them was sat and most of them were shouting and talking. My mate and I didn't know what to do, when teacher had obviously to shout and tell them off.
After a while, most of the children were well sit and followed the instructions of the teacher. Then they were nervous because we spoke in English and the teacher had said that we were from England.

Along with the class, we could realize that the teacher had real difficulties to communicate in English, since many students did not understand everything and teacher hadto ask for silence constantly.

A part of that, my mate and I help the teacher to hang on the walls some cards students did for homework and it was exciting to see how students look at us and tried to take confidence with us!

Despite their behaviour, teacher could develop several activities and students participate in class.
I feel happy, it was my first contact with a real secondary group and I'm already waiting for the next observation class!!
