On Wednesday July 5 at 10 AM, I sat in on my first classroom observation. The students were at level 2A and the class was taught by Olivia James. It was a composition class. She was reviewing the structure of a 5 paragraph essay. The structure is as follows: Working Title, Introduction with a Thesis Statement, Supporting Statements, and the Conclusion (with concluding remarks, opinions, and/or suggestions). The topic they decided to write about was "3 Places at FSU I Want to Visit" . The previous Friday, Olivia took the class around FSU and introduced them to the following places:
- The Library
- The Leech Center
- FSU Theater
- Coffee Hour at the Global Center
- Conversation Club at the Global Center
- Center for Leadership
- The Career Center
- The Student Life Center
For the essay, the students will choose 3 of these places and write a 5 paragraph essay on them. First paragraph will contain the introduction with a thesis statement, followed by 3 paragraphs (1 paragraph per place), and finishing with a conclusion paragraph.
