5. When things go wrong in class.

 

A)There was an internal disturbance. 

B) There was an internal disturbance.

C)The class went out of control.

D)An activity took too long.

E) you had extra time .

F)An activity did not work.

G)An activity was too difficult.

 

E) If I had extra time, I would give feedback on the topic, but since I know students are already tired of receiving theory, the feedback would be a fun game for students to participate in. And if they make a mistake I would correct them. and If they are correct I would give them additional information on the subject.

 

F) If the activity does not work, I will try to improvise and create another that can awaken more interest in the student. Or have an emergency activity or plan b so as not to lose the rhythm of the class and not to lose the time and interest of the students.

 

G) If the activity was very difficult, what I would do is learn from the mistake and improve or readjust some things for the next activity and if it is necessary to repeat the previous activity, I would do it but with new ideas and with new adjustments so that both the student like me we feel comfortable.

 

C) If the class got out of control. I would raise my voice a bit so that the students listen to me and when they are already paying attention in a polite way, I scold them and ask them to please pay attention, as that is rude and to make them see that what I am teaching requires a lot of attention .

 

I would use all the tips in chapter 8 because those tips are very important to have full control in your class and for students to have a better learning. I know these tips would work for me as these tips are given by people with great experience in this field.
