Student: De Carvalho Thiago

What if?
A – Students are all different levels.
- How would you approach these situations?
1. 3 of your good students are making it clear that they are finding your classes too
easy.
I would ask these students to help their classmates. They could be helpers.

2. You want your students to write a ghost story.

I would divide the activity into three tasks: some of the students are in change of
writing the story, other students will have to make posts for the story using the
vocabulary and a third group would be in charge of telling the story. Then, I would
divide the students into groups and ask them to choose the task they’d like to do.
If some students were reluctant to writing the ghost story, I’d ask them what they
were watching those days, what they have been reading, then, I would ask them
to write a story about something of their interest.
B – The class is too big.
- Which considerations are needed for these?
1. The teacher’s voice.
I would use chorus reaction and make them read.
2. The teacher’s place.
At the front if the teacher needs to use the board, or somewhere else depending
on the activity.
C – Students don’t want to talk.
- Complete the chart with things you could do to make reluctant students talk.
Action: Join in yourself in order to stimulate discussion.

Consequence: It might relax students; on the other hand, students may end up listening
more than talking.

Action: Group the students into pairs and make them read a dialogue.

Consequence: It could take longer if each pair read their dialogues, or it could be a mess if
all pairs talk at the same time, and some of them can even be doing something else.

Action: Encouraging role-play

Consequence: Some students may be talking more than others.
