C. Smith - Class Observation No. 3

Today got off to a bad start when I did not get up on time and made it to school later than usual, which means I made it to this observation later than I should have. Setting that aside for a moment, I'll talk about what I observed in this class.

This class was a grammar class, and it was reviewing their use of questions. Instead of turning it into a writing exercise, Ah-Young played a game with them. The class was divided into 3 teams. One team was shown a secret word, and the other teams had to take turns asking questions about it. The questions they were able to ask were limited:
Five Yes/No questions
5 Wh type questions (including How)
2 Tag Questions
4 Choice Questions

The first questions in each round were usually shaped to determine whether the object in question was a person, a thing, or a phenomenon. Sample questions included 'where can you get it' and 'what do you use it for'.

The game was surprisingly hard for the students because although they knew a lot of vocabulary, they did not know name brands for things (post it notes, scotch tape, etc.) which impeded their ability to guess. As they made questions and guessed, Ah Young took notes on what they said. After the game was over, she wrote sentences on the board and had students correct them.
