Today we had to do an observation task. I had to observe how Eric, anothe teacher of CES, developes the differents steps of a lesson. His class has a good level, and the subject was quite interesting: Beauty and the own image.
At first, Eric introduces the topic trough a video, in which appears a professional model giving advice to hopeful models about industry requirements.
The second step is to personalise the topic, by hanging on the walls some pictures of people who have sent headshots into model agencies. The students, in groups, have to give the own opinion about which of them are good or bad and why.
Then there is a discussion in class about the diferent opinions, based on a group of sentences given by the teacher. The students decide if they are good or bad arguments.
The fourth step is a pre-reading activity, the vocabulary check: The teacher gives some words in different sentences, and the students guess the meaning.
The reading activity is about the enigma of beauty. The students do a skimm reading to get the general idea of the article.
The next step is another vocabulary activity, post-reading, of some idiomatic expressions in the text.
Now is the turn to speak. The teacher gives the students some questions about their own experience, and where they can practice the idioms learnt before.
After the speaking, Eric introduces a listening activity, with some shocking pictures about differents things taht people of differents cultures do do to change their image: lip suctioning, neck ring, skull binding, lip plate, mutation, and foot binding. After speaking around some questions about the pictures, Eric shows the students a clip about a photographer who has been photographing women with bound feet in China as a aprt of a project. The students have to listen to it twice and answer some comprehension questions.
At the end, a gap activity. Students have to read some texts about other ways to change the own image. Each group reads a different text, and after, Eric makes diferents groups to share the information. After taht, discussion about which one ist the worst and why.
In conclusion, a very interesting subject, carefully developed in steps, and motivating for the students.
