1 ESO

For the moment I am just observing the lessons in two groups of 1 ESO.
The A group has English on Thursday and they are doing the class in the computer classroom. The whole group is having this lesson with two English teachers, who help the students with the computers and exercises.
Each student has a personal User-ID and Password, so they can work individually. During the two lessons I have been observing, the two topics were “A-an-some” and a reading comprehension. At the beginning of the class they get the instructions of the teacher, Núria, and then they can work alone during the rest of the time, while the two teachers are walking around the room helping students with doubts.

With the other group, 1 ESO B, I am assisting to the lesson they are having in their classroom. They do different kinds of exercises following the course book and hand-outs given by the teacher. One interesting aspect is that in this high school they are using community books.

According to Núria’s comments and to what I’ve been seeing, it is not easy to maintain order during the lessons. They speak a lot to each other and it is difficult to maintain attention and interest.
