True/False Show Ele 3 (Wed/Fri class)

The lesson focused on comparative adjectives.The students discussed whether the eight sentences in the 'True/False 'Show are true or false before listening to the show.

The interactions:
As usual the most confident students:Mounir,Amos,Karima,Kouloud,Samia and Karima interacted most of all especially Mounir and Karina in explaing the vocabulary and the grammer(the formation of the comparative adjectives).
Nizar as usual was quiet but occassionally made a good contribution with an intereting sentence.

Seating:
Nizar,Abir,Samia,arourad,Tarek,Female,Mounir,Amos,Soumaya,Kouloud,Mongi,Rihad,Karima,Raja

Additional comment:
As usual when the teacher nominated a particular student to answer a question other students would say the answer so as usual the students don't respect each in turn taking.

From the book Reflective Teaching in Second Language Classrooms,Richards,J.C.,in the chapter,approaches to classroom investigation,some important procedures are recommended:
Bailey 1990,Porter et al.1990,Walker 1985 state that it's important to make entries on a regular basis and immediately spend time after the lesson in writing up about the lesson
In addition to review the journal entries as some things which were not obviously apparent might appear so later on.

On page 16 Richards,J.C. mentions some reflection questions to guide thé writing of the journal:
What did you set out to teach?
Were you able to accomplish your goals?
What teaching materisls did you use?
What grouping arrangements did you use?

Did anything amusing or unusual occur?
Did you discover anything new?
Did students contribute actively to the lesson?
Were the students challenged by the lesson?
What do you think the students really learned from the lesson?
What did they like most about the lesson?
What didn't they respond to?
