Third teaching practice

Hi people! Today I had my last teaching practice!!! Finally!! jajaja I feel kind of worried because my tutor didn´t tell me anything good from my teaching, just bad feedback. I started with a warm up activity which consisted on mimic a joke. I divided the group in two teams; then, they chose a representative and another one to write down what they got. I knew it was kind of difficult to get a joke like that, but I wanted to try and see how was the reaction of the guys. I think it doesn´t matter of the activity to achieve your porpuse, but the way you develop your activity. I tried to be active and make it fun. However, at the of the class, I asked them what they learned today, and to my surprised they liked the activity (at least they said that jajaj). Besides, I made a pop up reading which they liked it a lot. I had some difficulties about the meaning of some words because I didn´t know how to explain it in english, so they could get it. I hope I got good grades in these 3 teaching practice because I don´t know any one :-(

So, see ya next entry !! Chaito

My second teaching practice

Hello, today I had my second experience as a teacher in advanced level. I started a little late again for some inconvenientes the teacher had. The students were excited because they had a small meeting (with pizza and soda) after the class. I started the warm up and they liked it! they had fun, but the other teacher aside went to complain about the noise jejeje.. After that, I had to explain some grammar; I was a little nervous because it was something that I have never seen before, but I studied the previous day. I think they did undertand my explanation because I make it easy for them, so they could get it. The topic was the future as seen from the past, so I tried to explain it in an simple form. It is wierd because it is an structure that we usually don`t use. I made students think of their childhood and write a sentence using the topic. They got excited about this because they wrote some personal things in which they remember their moments again jejejej.. As they were doing too much noise about this, I asked the most talkative to come to the front and tell a joke or a riddle. ( this was something I explained since the begining, the most anxious had to tell any of this to everyone) They are cool because they colaborate with the rules. Aftewards, I did the wrap up and everybody participated. I gave each group of three a collage and they had to choose a picture and tell a sentence using the structures studied. They were great! At the end, I had forgotten to give a photocopy the teacher asked me to, so , I hope it won´t affect the grade jejeje...

Well, this is all for today. See ya in my next entry. :-)
