Kardelen Özel & Sevim Özcan Classroom Observation Notes
Teachers’ Names: Fatma Karakuzey
Grade: 2-C
Hour: 1
Subject Cover: Animals
General Notes:
Different classes were observed by us, first one was 2-C. In the first place the teacher was really friendly and one of her students was ill, and she really cared about him. Students were happy to be there, and their topic was enjoyable. Teacher used technology effectively, but we realized that she does not know all of her student’s names which is not good. Moreover, she had 10 minutes to finish the class, she said what we can do, and then opened a video which was about ‘’have got/has got’’. It was not related to class objectives, it shows that this teacher does not have an extra plan. Apart from these negative sides, her English was good, and she was smiling all the time.
Teacher's name: Hande Özkan
Grade: 6B
Studens: 15
Hour: 1
Subject: Present Perfect Tense
General Notes:
Teacher showed a video about Present Perfect Tense and then explained where to use this tense. Teacher was very clear and she let students talk and encouraged them to ask questions & produce their own sentences.
-One of the girls in class was very upset, she had a problem with her classmates so she could not focused on the lesson at all. She slept all hour and the teacher did not noticed or tried to engage with her. I think she should have at least tried to keep her focused on the subject by asking her questions.
- One of the boys in class brought a needle to the class and played with it all time. Again, she did not noticed that. I think a needle could have hurt the students, the teacher should have seen it and took it away from the student.

Fun time Activity & Reading Passage
Teacher started the lesson without a warm up, she was very tired. She asked students to
read a passage about musems and then to answer the follow up questions.
-She reveals the answers too fast, she does not ask other students' opinion. I think she should have asked other students' opinion as well.
-The teacher told the students that the first three students who finish the activity will get +5 points and the last student who finishes the activity will get -5 so one student decided not to finish the activity at all so that he would not get any + or - points. I think this approach is not helpful in class. Students try to answer questions too fast to get points that they make a lot of mistakes, and the ones who are a bit slow at writing end up losing motivation...
