Third Period



My first class was on Thursday 24th

In this opportunity I had the chance to be with the same group from the second period.

This time I did not have to teach grammar I only had to develop a reading activity, at the beginning I was kind of nervous because students did not arrive and I had to start class, I had to start the class only with 5 students. To begin the class I developed the warm up activity, students had to choose a piece of paper in which were written the name of different kind of food so I asked one of them to go at the front. The other students who got the name of the food had to give clues in order to guess the name of the food as they were few students all of them had the chance to participate in the activity.

Then I had reading part it was about vegetarian people so I tried to introduce it by making some questions related to the topic, ´´What kind of food do you like?´´, ´´Do you know what a vegetarian is?´´, etc. After that I gave them some minutes to read the article and check new vocabulary. Then I made some questions in order to check if they got the main ideas from the reading. As a last activity student had to complete an activity from the book it was glossary in which they had to guess the meaning of some words from the text. During the class students were always participating but the only bad thing is that 8 students were there and the rest did not attend the class.

Second Period



Third Class of the Period


To start the class the teacher told me to check some homework instead of a game. In this opportunity not all the students arrived on time but anyways I started the class with seven students. The homework that I checked was about some vocabulary, I had to provide the meaning and then students had to create sentences per each word.

This time I had to teach grammar the topic was about habits in the past using ´´Used To and Would´´. I explained and provided some examples then I asked them to create sentences in order to check if they could apply what I had explained. Then I explained the use of Will in present habits. I explained the use and gave them some examples after asked them to make sentences. Later I had to develop some activities from the book. In the first one they had to read a short text it was a description of a family´s morning routines, they had to replace the verbs with Will. When they finished I started to ask for the answers. As a second activity I they completed some sentences and then share them with a partner then I asked for some of their answers. Even though at the beginning I did not feel comfortable with the group especially with latecomers, I can say that I really enjoy teaching that group because students are always participating.
