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.
