2nd day of observation(Feb.8,2010)

This day is the final demonstration of the interns in Villahermosa Elementary School. Because don't have enough time to observe actual teacher's strategies delivering their lesson to the class, our professors allowed us to observe the interns instead the real teachers. And I very much like that idea because because at least aside from the fact that I can now answer my FS worksheet, and observe how the learners interact with the lesson, I may now able to see how does a PNUan conduct his/her demonstration.
So, I was assigned to observe the final demonstration of BEED Intern-Ms.Richiel Capistano. I expected that she could come earlier because she needs to prepare the room, students and instructional materials as well. But what I've observed, even though she came not too late, as a teacher, we must observe punctuality specially if we have to prepare many things before the class session started.
As soon as she arrived, I immediately offered my help in fixing her materials. I am so impressed to the effort that the teacher exerted to her visual materials-colorful, attractive, but I'm pretty sure that those are very costly. In short, even though she only used low tech materials as her visual, I can say that those were very beautiful and easy to handle.
On her demonstration, I can say that she met all her objectives except the last objective which is writing the correct spelling of words with ie/ei; ea/ee sounds through listening and speaking because she forgot to motivate the allotted time for her. Anyway, the sequence of new lesson introduced very well. She used indirect approach because it was not a teacher-centered discussion, whereby the teacher only served as the facilitator of the learning. The interaction between the teacher and the learners was very active because of her art in questioning.
