third entry

Hi people! Today I had my third entry in basic level. I felt kind of afraid because the students seemed to be kind of distance and with a different feeling. I think it was because they were exhasted and wanted to go out early because you know it was friday!. I wasn`t sure about doing the warm up activity at the begining because of their humor, but I took the risk and at the end I think it was fine for them. When I feel that way, I tried to omit that from their part, and continue being nice with them, and at the end you make them change their humor. After the warm up activity, I made the presentation of the unit. I pasted some pictures on the board and asked the students to go to the front and write a sentence using adverbs of frequency. After that, I read and asked them if they were ok. Some of them did it perfect, the others not so good. I tried to give them and asked them as many examples as possible, I got some questions, but I am sure some of them didn´t want to ask because they were ashamed. Even though I felt with a different environment from their part, I tried to omit it and continued being nice with them, so at the end they were nice as well.
This is all for today people, c ya next entry

second entry

Hi people! today I had my second teaching practice with the basic level. I think, the students like the warm up activity. They review the spelling of the adverbs of frequency and the time. At first, I saw a kind of bad attitude toward the class. I don´t know why, but this is a very special group (if you know what I mean) jejej. After that, I develop a writing practice about a typical day in their life. some of them have serious problems with the language because they don´t even know basic words that they should already know by this time. I decided to choose 2 students by asking a number from 1 to 10, and when they said the number I wrote in my notes, they were going to share what they wrote about their typical day. One of the girls hadn´t finished the writing. First, she read what she got, then, I asked her to tell the rest. I think my second day was kind of weird because I didn´t feel satisfied enough to think I did my best. I don´t if the kind of group could affect in my performance. Hope do not affect in my grade jejej.

1st class, second month teaching practice

Hi dear classmates, I started my teaching class on friday, I was not nervous, but a little worried because the students seemed to be peacky and weird. I started by introducing myself, then I made the warm up activity, I think it was kind of fun, but I had some pronunciation mistakes that at the end I said, What?! I can`t believe I said that jajaj. After that I dictated them a conversation and asked them for two volunteers to read the conversation as they were in real life. After that, I asked them to write the conversation again, but this time they had to change piece of information. I tried to explain the meaning of the conversation because a student asked me what breakfast was, then, I said myself that I should explain the meaning of the whole dialogue, and I did. Afterwards, I had to explain grammar "simple present question, using "do" and "does". Since the students are in basic do not speak too much, but I tried to make them speak. There was a girl who seemed to be so sassy and I think I didn`t like her. when I have this kind of students, I try to be kind with her and try to help her when possible. I think at the end of the class, she had a different concept about me because one can notice when you like someone and who doesn´t. So, at the end of the class, I said good bye and thanked them for helping in my teaching practice, and most of them said, "good bye teacher!" with a smile on their face jajaja.
