One More Time

The lesson I'm doing for my second observation is all about movies. I'm introducing the new unit and the whole lesson will be centered on getting the students to talk about movies and the different genres. There is no grammar focus involved, so there will be a little less instruction and more guidance. I like this lesson because there are a lot of visuals, but it lacks movement. The students will not have an opportunity to get up and walk around, which I’m a little concerned about. There is also a bit of reading involved. Sometimes this goes very smoothly and they learn new vocabulary along the way, but sometimes reading can bring down the energy of the class. There is also a dictation section, which I think should go well. They like to write on the board, so at least a few of them will get the opportunity to do so during this particular lesson. Hopefully, they are full of energy and there is a lot of chatting. I’ll just have to wait and see!
