Teacher’s Presentation:

Classroom Management:

The first activity was a table that would help the students with a quiz. There was a second activity that asked the students to identify mistakes in a sentence and correct them. Students were given homework as they had missed a class the previous week. For homework they had to watch a video and describe what happens using Past Perfect and Past Perfect Continuous.

Feedback Provided: The teacher provided detailed feedback on their grammar and speaking skills and gave great explanations of students’ questions.

Lesson(s) on teaching you learned: The way Dr. Ríos teachers provide detailed feedback on students’ questions regarding grammar. Dr. Ríos made the class fun by sharing anecdotes to help give examples regarding Past Perfect questions the students had. The table was very helpful and I will use it.
