Second teaching practice, 3rd period

Hi everyone, Today, I developed my 2nd class with technical english. I started with an active warm up activity, and I think the girls liked it, but they turned too noisy. Some of them tried to calm down, but I think they had fun. After that, I presented the new topic which was the past tense of the verb to be. I wrote a dialogue on the board and told explained them that before an adjective and a noun goes were/was. I asked two of them to go to the front and underlined the adjectives, and I made them realized where they are going to use were / was. I told them to repeat the dialogue and practice in pairs. At first, they complained because I told them they had to learn it by heart, but them I said that they should have an idea or do it similar to the one I wrote on the board. In order to make them pass to the front, I wrote 3 numbers in a page for myself and then I asked them to tell me a numer from one to ten. The pair that said the 3 numbers I had written, they were going to pass to the front. I didn´t erase the conversation on the board so that they feel comfortable without being afraid of performing the conversation. After that, I dictated some exercises about using were /was. I helped some of them because they really had problems with the exercises, but at the end I think they got it. When I finish , I said goodbye to them, and clapped. Today I felt more comfortable than the first day.

  1. Very good Mary! It's nice to see everything is going well in your practice. I will just suggest you to use other visual aids rather than the board since students might be bored to see their teacher doing the same. For the dialogue would have been preferable a chart so you could have saved some minutes. Keep working friend...

  2. Nice activities Maritza. Those girls have a lot of energy, so take advantage on that. Sometimes some of them will not want to participate, but if your activities are nice they will do it and your class will be liked. I think you'll get a good grade.
