What can you conclude in doing this activity
Answers
1 Minute Speeches: For this activity choose a few students or if you are working with a smaller group, have everyone take turns giving a one minute speech to the class. The students can either stand up near their desk or go up to the front of the class in order to give their brief speech. Have each student talk about what was done during the lesson, their favorite part of the class or have them give a summary about a reading activity they worked on. The topic can be modified and you may even use this activity to have your students get to know each other better during first lesson.
Corrections and feedback:
During the last 10-15 minutes of the class it is a good idea to go over some of the mistakes or errors that came up during the lesson. Many teachers also take advantage of this time to go over some common pronunciation mistakes. Correcting your students’ mistakes during this final moment of class can be extremely beneficial and it is more likely that your students will remember your comments and suggestions, since it’s the last activity they will be focusing on.
Write it up! Have your students practice their writing skills by doing an e-mail writing activity at the end of the class. Have the class write a brief e-mail to a friend, boss, or co-worker describing (in detail) what was done during the lesson. When the students are finished have them turn in their papers and in the next class you may provide them with feedback or go over some common writing errors together as a class. This activity can also modified and you can switch things up every once in a while and have your students write about topics like current events, celebrities, recent vacations they have taken, or even something more specific to the lesson that you covered that day.
