         My very first classroom observation was with Group 4A Grammar students. This class was probably the most fast past class that I was able to observe. The students started with a warm-up exercise that required them to write three sentences about something they have done more than one time in the past year. Once they finished this exercise they got together as a class and talked about different things they have done and to see if any other student has done the same thing. All students where very engaged on their activities throughout the entire class. If student was to make a verbal or written error in English the teacher would immediately acknowledge his/her error. The teacher would do this by repeating the sentence to the student; the students knew automatically when the teacher repeats a sentence that somebody made an error. The last activity the students engaged in as a class was the teacher posted a picture on the projector and the class was to write in present tense on what was happening in the picture. Students at the higher level seemed to have basically no issue in writing in the correct tense which was quite surprising to me.
