specialized its students into de business area. Most of the students
attend to the school only three days of the week, the other two they

middle to low economic class . Many of them have problems with drugns
and violence because of the context where they live.
1.1.
How These Factors May Impact My Lessons:
I think that the socio economic factor may have an impact over my
lessons. As they are not totally into the English language students will
think that the subject is difficult and worthless. In addition, as a techer it
will be extremely difficult to develop my hole lessons in english and I will
have to turn into spenish most of the times because students may not
understand what the teacher might be saying.
2. Student Characteristics and Their Instructional Implications: Below,
describe how two student characteristics you observed in your student
(e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, interests, student skill levels) might impact
the way you instruct those students. For example, your planning,
motivation, management, or assessment. For each example of the

influence how you plan and implement your instruction.

relation with her in order to make all the other students to follow her over the
class.
