Colors -

 * I really liked your presentation today. Because we wrote down our comments, I had a few suggestions that I'd like to share. a) It was really easy to find the color words in the reading that we have. Something that might have been helpful for writing down the colors, however, would be a word bank beside the color circles with neutral versions. The "bank" of bolded words got mixed up in my mind a little. b) I loved the way you showed us real objects. It made it easier to understand. One idea, would to be to leave the objects up beside the board and to write the sentences over the different objects. c) The homoework is great to implement the lesson. If these are very beginning students, they will mostly follow the formula of Mi _ es (color). It might be a good idea to give them some more formulas to follow. user:melizabethj

Brazilian Men -

 * You had an incredible energy! The way you acted out everything was so entertaining, and really helped me to understand what you were talking about. It was really awesome that you used characters we were familiar with. It conveyed so much more meaning than I could have understood through words alone. I can't even think of any suggestions, it was so good. user:melizabethj

Quisiera ser -

 * I loved the video that you showed us. It was nice to have the lyrics on the screen and the pictures to show examples. It was great to have a few examples of when people "quisiera ser" to get us giving input when you asked a question. One thing you could do to direct the conversation would be to have an example list of words or topics that students may want to use. It really was a pretty good presentation. The music caught my attention very well.user:melizabethj

Present Progressive -

 * I liked the many different ways that you presented the information. The powerpoint was very professional, and you had a confidence about you that I found to be very nice. I also enjoyed trying to come up with sentences for the pictures. That was really interesting and fun. user:melizabethj

Ladybug -

 * I enjoyed the costume! Kids will warm to that up very well. You also chose one of my favorite stories of all time. It worked really well the way you used the repetition in the story to get us to talk along with you. It might have helped to have some large words on the board to help students connect the written word with the spoken word.user:melizabethj

Skeletons -

 * The song was so fun! I really liked the music along with animation along with visual words. Also, you had a nice variety of methods to integrate the clock. It would have probably helped to see both answers and questions modeled on the board as or before you ask the students.user:melizabethj
