Classroom Opening


Opening a class is always challenging for all teachers I guess, because if it is not interesting enough students will not pay attention. However we can always observe and learn from other teachers’ ways in opening a class.
The previous MMSEL meeting reminds me to my experience in School Experience Program (SEP). I had to teach exposition text to eleventh grader. To open the class, I tried to think of a contextual topic which is also related to the material. I decided to teach them making movie review, so I open the class by asking whether they like watching or not. Apparently most of them said “yes”, and then I asked what the latest movie they watched. After that I asked them to make a list of the movies that they have watched, and I divided them into two big groups to have a “movie-title guessing game” by having a representative of each group. The students had to take turn, so all of them got their turn to describe a movie without telling the title which was told by me, then their friends would guess the title.
That was how I opened my class when I had SEP to teach exposition text.
