My sub-aim is to try to greet everybody before class starts.



My sub-aim is to keep a check on the time that I have left for each planned activity.





My sub-aim is to be informative when explaining the outline, grammar rules, etc.
I will write the topic on the board.
I will greet the students.  I will go through the schedule on the board with the students.

I will ask the students to have nothing on their table as I hand each student their test. I will briefly go through the test then give students time to read their results and to ask me any questions regarding their test. I will answer any of the students’ questions.

I will give the students instructions on how to log into my Socrative room in order to take the two grammar tests (relative and indefinite pronoun test and prepositions test). I will answer the students’ grammar rules questions after each quiz is done.

I will give the students 4 argumentative topics and instruct them to write their essay using the computers in the ICT classroom (which we will be in for this lesson). I will make sure students are actually working on their essays. I will correct the students essay once they’ve e-mailed them to me and I will send them their essay, which is now corrected back.




I will give turns to some students and correct the students when they make slight mistakes.
I will then say good-bye to the students. 

The students listen and ask question when necessary.



Each student will check if their test has been checked correctly by me or if there are mistakes that need to be revised. The students raise their hands when they want to answer a question or ask one, sit, and listen with open ears.


The students can ask questions about the exercises, if they do not understand something. The students will need to do the quizzes on their own.



The students will pick one topic and write an argumentative essay about this topic. The students work individually on their essay and e-mail the teacher once he/she is done. The students will revise his/her essay at home or during the class if there is still time.
I will also write today’s schedule for the class to see before the class starts:
1. Introduction
2. Check tests/ Get grades
3. Grammar quizzes (2)
4. Argumentative essay writing
à Teacher online correction




















Significant Situation 
I developed a lesson focusing on grammar quizzes and writing an argumentative essay. I wanted to also focus on the students' 21st century skills in order to focus on my competence 3: didactics, which is why I made two online quizzes using Socrative. My POP for this internship is: "I want to be able to use ICT in my English classes effectively in order to develop as a 21st century skilled teacher".

Reflection
I chose to use an online teaching tool, Socrative, in order for the students to be able to individually choose the correct or incorrect answer and for them to be able to do it on their own time. I chose to use ICT in order for me to develop as a 21st century skilled teacher so that the students can be motivated to practice their English language skills in a new way, which will motivate them to learn.

The effect of this was that students were motivated to participate, because it was something new to them.

My students said; "we should do it again more often, because it was fun and a different way of learning English".

This was important to me, because I want to develop as a 21st century skilled teacher.

My conclusions are that I am a didactic teacher who focuses on developing her 21st century skills in order to motivate the students with fun new teaching tools. 

My learning aim for next week is:
-To grade, correct, make the first composition test
