First Period

Second Class

I had to teach on Thursday 8^th

 

This time I felt more comfortable than the previous class. In that class I did not teach grammar, I just had to make them practice about the topic they were studying the last class. The topic was about adjective + prepositions so to start the class I divided them in two groups. I dictated some adjectives and they had to write sentences with those adjectives and their corresponding preposition, the group who finished first got a point. That activity helped me to break the ice because they were kind of discouraged, so it helped me to cheer them up. I could see they were enjoying the game. I think the feeling of competition with their classmates increases the desire to participate.  Then I asked them which words they could relate with the word FAMILY, because later I read a concept about family and they had to create their own concept about it. Then I asked them to share their concepts with the whole class.  

 Later I gave them some recycle paper and asked them to draw a picture about how they and their families will be in fifty years also about the changes of the country. When they finished their drawings they had to go around the classroom and explain it to their classmates. Then they explained the drawing to the whole class.  In the next activity I had a listening from the book, I gave them some copies with some questions that they had to answer regarding to the conversation from the listening. After they completed the task we checked the answers. Afterwards I explained them the meaning of some words that were in the listening part.  This time I enjoyed more the class,students were always participating. Something that I do not like is that their classroom is too small, so sometimes it´s difficult to develop some activities. But I know that nothing is perfect so I must learn how to deal with these kinds of things.
