My second teaching practice

Hi people, I had my second class today in this semester. I felt comfortable with the class, but I don´t know if I´ll get a good grade because I haven´t had any grade yet. I started with a warm up which consisted on giving a flashcard to students and asking them to provide sentences using much, many, few, a few, little, a lot of. They did it good and it was entertaining because I think they liked the flashcards. After this activity, I started a new activity to review the previous words, and they had to fill up the blanks with the correct word. I gave them some minutes to write down the words, and when they were done, I asked them to read the sentences and stop over the blank. I told them previously that I was going to throw a tape to the person who was going to say the word in the blank. I think this was useful for them to be aware and say the word they wrote. They did a good job and read all the sentences correctly. Later on, I pasted a chart with a dialogue and it had some blanks to fill in with the words I asked them to. I told them to come to the front and write the word. I gave them three words to choose the correct one, and they were choosing the next person to write the other word. I tried to make students participate a lot and make it fun by asking them to perform the dialogue. I don´t know if this could affect a little my grade since I don´t know if I applied it incorrectly. I like to feel comfortable with the class and the activities and I hope it doesn´t affect the way students see the class. When finishing the activity, I asked them to go over some pictures of different places and thinkg about what they would carry with them to that place. They were interested in the pictures, and they were entertained writing 10 things about taking to them to the place. They were joking and talking about a picture I pasted that was about Victoria´s secreat show and most of them men said they would like to go there. I was kind of disappointed because I asked them to stand up and go over the pictures , but only few people did it, I encourged the others, but they said they were tired. Unfortunately, I couldn´t realized about the time, and I took more time that I had to, so the teacher stopped me and I ended the activities. As a conclusion , I can say that I know I had some mistakes that I shouldn´t have done, and I will try to improve next time.

First teaching practice second semester

Hi everyone, I had my first class in this new semester, and I felt comfortable with the group because it was one of the groups I had last semester. This is the first time I followed a lesson plan in a class because I didn´s use any lesson plan in the last semester for any reason I never was given a lesson plan but I had to plan my own class. I started with the warm up activity by asking them to form three groups of 5. I gave a page to each group and a marker , the first group had to write a question in any tense, and the other group had to write the answer for that question. They did a good job and the other group did the same. I could have continued with the activity, but I saw students were not too interested or excited. My tutor told me that I should have continue with the acitivity even though it was time because it is suppose that the warm up activity doesn´t have to last more that 10 min. After that, I thought the students had a reading , but it was not like that, so I addapted the activity differently. I didn´t feel worried because I came up with something quickly, and the teacher told me that it was not noticed by students, but he did noticed because he had written the lesson plan I was using. Most of the activities were changed because of the material I thought student already had. However, it was not a problem. I think students were interesting in the activities and participated in a good way.
