My lesson reflection

Number: 72090355

Name: Kim Su-ah

My lesson's title is "Good looks, bad looks"

I made ppt slide a title is " Good looks, bad looks",

because Ss can focus on their topic easily. To understand many ss, I made PPT .

6/1/2001

*Class room description

I had three class of second grade students.

2-1 students are lowest level of the second grade students.

2-2 students are middle level.

2-3 students are highst level of the second grade ss.

Before the lesson, to students understanding, I made a ppt that difficult vocabulary with picture cue. In this stage, Ss feel very diificulty to the ss level. so I feel

I should use more easy vocubulary or should level up to 4grade or 5grade.





Starting to the class I introduced 6 insects with pictures to the ss Most of the ss know the name of the insects.

                                                          and I checked their word comprehension with spelling ability,too.

I prepared YES/NO cards for the discussion questions.

These cards help YLS's opinion about insects easily.

YLS easily forget their choose and confused.

During the discussion question , Ss get this YES/NO cards.

Edges of the cards are too sharp to YL, so I made a round edges.

Considering about YLS, I made a ppt visually.

Discussion part is most worried part me and Prof, Curtis, too.

Because YLS don't understand discussion meaning and they have low ability of the english. So I gave discussion sentence for YLS.

I made a pair group to the s. If you have a YES card, you can answer YES card part. Some ss don't know about words that express what their feeling about insects. My co-teacher and I help them.

I think they like to express their feeling and get a card part. They think really carefully and discuss their friend own their way.

Getting know the special point is Ss get to all of the small things even look worthless things have a very worthy.

So I show the picture first, and Ss guessed what is special point of the insects.

They confused about ants-cooperate well part . but end of the part of this activity they try to remember and understand, and I translate korean to easy understanding to the ss. YL enjoy to guess about insects. In the english class in our elementary school has a giant model of the insects. they can see the model, too

Originally my lesson plane I want to them touch these model, but they might broke the model. One of my ss already broken that dragonfly giant model. I decorate to the wall. They can see, and they can touch softly.

After the guessing activity I showed the ss Ugly duckling videoclips.

They can chance to think about ugly ducking is a ugly including the duck's herd. but he is really special and beautiful swan. During the video clip they really like it After the Videoclip I can ask to the ss " What do you think about ugly duckling?"

"Is ugly duckling really ugly?" like this

To Ss deeper understanding,and remind learning their I made a Jeopardy game to the Ss. After video clip, they can think carefully about insects special things.

I choose carefully picture in the ppt, they can think their disable ss,too

and, doing this game they can remind Insect's special point easily and funny.

Making this game I made a big mistake. Choosing first big point Ss can win all the time. So I really apologize to the Ss. and I promise I will prepare really enjoy fair game to you then Could you forgive me? then they forgive me ^^;;

That is I want to tell my YLS!!

For the post activity , I want to YLS can personalize their today's learning.

So They drew the favorite insects. If they possible, They can write about insects and shortly, just word is OK in the INSECT's drawing. YL likes to drawing and coloring. So I can be great and fun experience about insects.. and my ss really like it!!

-My co-teacher is really enjoy my lesson. but one thing she worried about is little difficult to the second grade ss specially word part. She likes contents. She told me fourth grade ss might be good.

-After the class, I feel really fruitful. but I had many mistakes about my lesson, because it's my first experience critical lesson. It's great experience to my Teaching. So I would like improve my teaching considering today's class!!

Smurf this! Scholar sees Stalin in comic-book realm

PARIS (AFP) - Just in time for Global Smurfs Day and a Smurfs movie in 3-D comes a little blue book from a French academic that has some fans of the sock-topped comic book characters seeing red.

Antoine Bueno, who lectures at the high-brow Paris Institute of Political Studies, thought he was just having fun when he penned his 177-page analysis of the politics of Smurfland that's just been published in France.

"Smurfs society," writes Bueno by way of hypothesis in his work of spoof scholarship, "is an archetype of a totalitarian utopia" bearing the hallmarks of Stalinism and Nazism.

It's an orderly, harmonious and male-dominated world in which Smurfs eat together, work together, apparently do not own their own homes, and never bicker over money because there is none.

Not only is Papa Smurf "all-powerful and omniscient," writes Bueno, but his white beard gives him a curious resemblance to Josef Stalin or Karl Marx, with the bespectacled Brainy Smurf standing in for Leon Trotsky.

As the Smurfs' sworn enemy, scheming sorcerer Gargamel -- a hunchbacked misanthropic loner with a cat called Azrael -- represents a perennial capitalist threat, in Bueno's opinion.

"I am myself a child of the Smurfs, and I did not take it seriously when I compared Papa Smurf to Stalin," Bueno told AFP.

"I imagined that this analysis of the little world of Smurfs as a totalitarian utopia might amuse readers -- but I never expected the strong reactions that it provoked."

But it did.

"Idiot... fraud... dream-wrecker... opportunist," are some of the one-word broadsides hurled at Bueno on the Internet.

"It's typical of political correctness that sees racism everywhere,"

groaned one disgruntled Smurf fan, while another said: "How shameful to so gratuitously destroy the stories of our childhood."

"These are sad times when ill is seen everywhere," sighed a third blogger.

Bueno's "The Little Blue Book: A Critical and Political Analysis of Smurf Society" comes as Smurf fans look forward to this summer's 3-D release of "The Smurfs" directed by Raja Gosnell, who notably did the "Scooby Doo" movies.

To promote the film, Sony Pictures is declaring June 25 to be Global Smurfs Day and inviting families to dress up accordingly in hopes of setting a Guinness record for "the greatest number of people dressed as Smurfs".

In April, the 29th Smurf album in French -- "Les Schtroumpfs et l'arbre d'or" (The Smurfs and the Golden Tree) -- was published by Brussels comic book house Le Lombard.

Bueno takes pains to say that his book is by no means a personal critique of Pierre Culliford, who under the pen name Peyo created the Smurfs in the late 1950s in his native Belgium.

Culliford died in 1992 at the age of 64, and his son Thierry Culliford remembers him as apolitical. "At election time, he'd ask my mother: 'Who must I vote for?'" he told the French news magazine L'Express.

Bueno "can peel apart the albums, even if I do not support his interpretation ... so long as he does not attack my father," added Culliford, who oversees the Smurfs brand worldwide.

But as the Parisian scholar points out, the elder Culliford, as a teenager, did personally experience Nazi Germany's harsh occupation of Belgium during World War II.

"A work can channel imagery that an author, in good faith, does not support," Bueno said. "Thus the Smurfs could be more a reflection of the spirit o

My reflection

I want to say about "irrelevance" that in the paper professoer gave us about two weeks ago.
These days,  I'm teaching public elementary school first and second grade students.
In the class, I try to prepare very hard and try to communicate with my SS.
But, ^^; , second grade ss are usually can't focus on my class.
My class has a once a week, and my co-teacher and me start from greeting with question
"What dd you do last weekend?"  then Ss really want to say about what they were doing.
I 've never seen before Ss's great participation.
After I prepared a storytelling "Cinderella dressed in Yellow" from Learn to read.
I made many vocabulary with picture considering tactile ability , even I was woring a Yellow
dress ,and crown for kids interesting. and I made a chant with drum. I recorded that chant.
I tried to do my storytelling at my best. But They are really hard to focus and particepate my lesson.
So, I wonder about my lesson. Is there any problem in my lesson.
They are really enjoy just one question " What did you do last weekend?"
and they wanna say in English, and learn English.
From last class's paper, I realize that isn't it relevance issue?
YL is really egocentric, so they really try to express themselves to the ss.
I think "Communicate" is really inportant even YL.
