Topic: Chocolate
Teacher's name:   Juan Jose Menjivar

In this lesson plan, the skill taught was reading about "Chocolate". Teacher Roxana started the class and make two different groups, she gave each group a set of words related to food, one representative of each group had to pass to the board and draw the image of the word, the rest of the students had to guess what the word was, and so on, students had to take turns to pass to the board and the draw the image. I think it was a fun activity because everybody enjoyed it, and sometimes it was difficult to guess the word because not all of us are good at drawing.

Juan Jose continue with the class, he gave students some words and had pasted some pictures on the board, we had to match the word according to the picture. Then teacher Juan Jose checked if they were correct, not all of the pictures match with the words, however it was part of the activity because students always make mistakes and that is correct, as long as the teachers fix them and explain them one by one which was the next part that Juan Jose did, he explained the word and the picture and provide a definition for each of them.

Then teacher Mariana ask students to make groups and provide a text about "Chocolate". She asked students to face down the text and then give one minute to skim it, after that she pasted on the board some possible headings for the text and students had to guess which was the correct. It was a great idea to do so, because that way you're helping students improve their reading skills, when reading we use two different strategies for speeding up the reading which are skimming and scanning.


After that, Nicole made groups and we played in a basketball game and the person who did not score a basket had to answer a question about the text and the process of making chocolate. This activity was great because it helps students remember details and specific information about the text.
