The last practice of the last period of the last year of the major!

This is the last time that I tell you hello bloggers. I have reached my last practice and I feel proud of what I have done. The last class was pretty nice for me. I arrived early to the classroom and wrote the agenda that I could develop completely. To start, I just greeted the group. Then, I told them in a please way to use the desks I wanted them to use as I needed the class to be sitting in front of me for the warm up. I divided them in 2. After that, they chose a representative of each group. Those two representatives had to draw parts of the body that I told them. The first group who guessed the word scored a point. The students enjoyed this a lot. Getting in matter with the session, I started to speak about adjectives to describe our faces. In order to do it I asked them to take out their books and work on certain pages. They did that quickly but well. Later on, I passed to the next activity which was the explanation of certain adjectives to describe hairstyles, parts of our face and eyes. I pasted a chart with some drawings to do that and started to release the data I have about the adjectives. I also used drills and provided real examples.}

The next point in the agenda, was an activity of the book called “optimistic or pessimist?” what I liked about this was that all students participated.  The last activity I did by that time was a fill-in-the blank practice on the use of “for” and “since”. It was the last one. I gave each student a page and they did it faster than I thought.

To finish, I just elicited responses and corrected the mistakes that eventually came up. so, people we can say that we are done with this. Now we have to wait for the best to come. Teachers a congratulate you and I do wish you the best. Blesings.

One more and done!

Hello dear bloggers! Thank you for reading. Well, as you already know I’m working with intermediate I time. Let me tell you that for this second class, I was eager to teach. I had prepared some good activities and I knew the students were going to enjoy them. To begin, I greeted the group and gave them pieces of paper that I had already folded for them to write their names and put them on theirs desks, so that I could call students by their names.

As the warm up, I developed the activity “can’t say yes/no”. I gave them pieces of paper and they had to draw a heart; then, they went and asked around questions to one another and the people who said “yes/no” as a reply, they lost. I saw students really enjoyed the game. Once that I had set the mood, I went on. The first activity was about dynamic and stative verbs. The exercise was about sorting. They (the students) did really well this exercise. Afterwards, I had a speaking activity in which the students worked in groups.  It was unfortunate that I had only 9 students, but I still enjoyed it. They discussed some situations as the target structure was modal verbs. Once that they had discussed, I did a TPR activity called “do this, do that”; if I said “do this” they had to follow my movement, and if I said “do that” they did not have to follow what I did. Whenever someone did what they did not have to, there was a penalty and I asked that person to respond me what they had discussed in groups. I really liked that.

As the next point, there was a little practice on subject and object questions. They had already seen that, so it was a review basically. To finish, I developed “moving papers”. This last activity was about modals. I pasted papers on the walls around the classroom. In each of them, there was a situation and they had to write pieces of advice according to the modal they saw above the situation. All the group participated and really enjoyed when I was checking. In that way, I had concluded my second class. It was a very good experience. Hope you all feel the same by this time. Blessings bloggers.
