Observation At Art High-school Part 3

Date: December 06 2207
Time: from 11:15 to 12:45
Total time: 1 hours and 30 minutes
Teacher Yanick Ranieri
Class: French
Level: Senior

Professor Ranieri started the class asking if they had the book and discussed about the chapters before the test that was going to be assigned in a few weeks. They watch a DVD that I thought was pretty interesting way to get to learn and memorize a language. The DVD topics were divided into chapters as in the book. The topics that were covered by the class were:The regular verb, the irregular verb, The imperfect, the past imperfect.

While the form of the verb where show in the infinite way, the DVD explain how to conjugate a verb in different forms. The student were asking to pause with the image and copy what were the rules and the verbs. Also when there were a few tricky verb teacher Ranieri was making sure that she would say them at loud and the students would repeat, she also asked to pay attention to the spelling and the phonetics. They also got to make sentences with the same verbs that were present into the DVD. Each chapter on the DVD was a cartoon like and with each topic had a story was short and funny.

One student had a question about capitalizing word and they made a few examples and teacher Ranieri give a main rule about it so they won’t forget.

After the DVD we did a little quiz about the environment (I did too :) ), there were a few answer that you could picked and each answer had points and at the end you would sum your points and see what it would mean. At the end of the quiz, each student got to share their score and about their own life-style.

The students game homework to the teacher that was to create a little story and draw it. One of the student wasn’t great in drawing so the teacher decide to give him to do a little movie because he was very good with creating videos.

Before the class ended the class discussed the date for the exam and if there were any more question about the topics that were going to be covered on the class.

The all experience was extremely good and I felt welcome from day one by the high-school, the students and teacher Ranieri.
