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. :-)
Heyyy! Let me tell you that i enjoyed reading your post because I learned something from it. Now, I have an strategy I can use with problematic students.
ResponderEliminarYou mention that the noise was a problem for you, but let me tell you that is is impossible that an English class may be quiet, so do not feel bad about it friend. I think you did an excellent job! Congrats :-)
AHHHH I know what tense is that!!! It´s like In 20 years I will have learned 5 Languages!!! well I guess tat is jejejejeje
ResponderEliminarThat´s a difficult topic to explain, it´s kind of complicated been talking about it and everything in English and specially when the students tell you they don´t understand and they want an explanation in Spanish :(
But you made a great job!! TEACHER MARITZA! HOW DO YOU SAY TAMALITOS IN ENGLISH!!?? HAHAHAHAHAH
No zule, it was not that topic, it is like.. he was to have become a great musician, that means el debio haver llegado hacer un musico genial. It is a structure that we don´t usually use in spanish nor engish jejej
