Topic development
The topic was well developed throughout the class.
Methodology
Setting up an agenda for students from the very beginning gives them an idea of what’s going to happen during the class and that helps them to get involved easily. It is good to check for understanding after giving an instruction to students. You can ask them to tell you what they have to do or give them an example. After listening to the song and choosing the pronouns there should be a connection to the topic of the class, you could mention what words they circled and why. Otherwise it seems to be an isolated activity. It is important to connect all the activities. When moving from one activity to another it is good to connect them with the main topic of the class. It is good to go around and be in contact with students while working on their activities. It was a very supportive process.
