Date/Time: January 18, 1:00-1:50PM
Topic/Skill: Speaking, level 4
Teacher Presentation: Ms. Ciapetta’s presentation was
remarkably restrained. Because of the level of student she was working with,
she did not have to a whole lot. The main emphasis of her involvement was shaping
debate and reminding the class of an impending assignment. Other than that, she
introduced a prompt that helped start debate, and that was it.
Classroom Management: Again, Ms. Ciapetta served more
as an arbiter. She let her students speak, stepping in only to correct errors
and focus discussion.
Materials: The only materials she used were
handouts for the assignment.
Student Participation: The students responded
to her restrained approach quite well. They talked a lot and engaged with each
other.
Feedback Provided: As students spoke – in this case a
debate about v-chips – she would correct their mistakes as necessary.
Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: I learned that it
is important to let your students breath. Ms. Ciapetta embodied the
student-centered approach to teaching, which worked extremely well.
