- Speak louder - Think of strategies to include some really shy ones to join in. - Time control is very important on each activity. - Tell them the rules of the game first. - When you want to divide them into groups, don't let them do it by themselves, it's better you group them. (They are not very good at making decision yet, so if you have choices for them, make it simple and limited, only A or B or no choice, just make the choice for them). - Big pictures are better than small one. They loved looking at Big Pictures of bright colors. - Small kids cannot get too much information at one time as their concentration time is really short, so you have to make your teaching precise and interesting, so l suggested to limit your number of items taught in a small number. Rather spend a little bit time on repeating them and do memory games, bingo game or other revision games with them. E.g., when they picked two of the same card with same picture, they need to say the English word they learned. or you make bingo sheets of food items for them, then do the bingo game with them together. - It would be good if you make up a song or rythme that help them to remember all the things you taught. - When you do the playdough, show them samples that you made and give them examples that they could make.

You really did a great job today, I am so impressed of your teaching plan and all the materials you prepared. I am very sure you got great potential to be a good teacher. Review the video and see what you could do more for further improvement. I will go to youtube and find the video for teaching Mandarin fruit and vegetables and send the link to you or Kas, so that you can practice pronouncing those items in Mandarin. Hope it helps. Have and nice holiday and wish you all good luck for the G5 exhibition.

Dear girls, I was very proud of all of you today! I was generally super impressed and happy by your performance. Emily, you did great. You were patient and calm and I believe that is why the kids were responding so well to your directions and comments. They were calm themselves and fully engaged.

As per Marissa and Lucia´s activity, I thought it was a very good one, but you guys didn't give enough directions or instructions to the kids. At the same time, your voice wasn't loud enough and you didn't engage the children as well as Emily. It would have been good to tell the children very clear and specific instructions on what they were supposed to do and how, before handing the playdough and afterwards you could have walked around the table to help the kids open the cans and give them individual and more personalised support. Remember they are very young!

Overall though, a very promising future for you all as educators. If you want to ask me anything, I will be available through email for the entire holiday period. It wa a real pleasure to attend your lesson.

Rest well, Ms. Ana

Girls,

Well done on today's lesson! I thought it went very well, and you both seemed much more confident than the first lesson.

I have attached my feedback for your lesson today, and the photos are in your group photo folder. Remember to place all these onto your Wikis :)

Well done!
