Last class with intermediate I

Hi everyone, I want to tell you about my last class with intermediate I. I arrived early to arrange the desks in two groups, there was one group on one side and the other one on the other side of the classroom. I started with an activity in the lesson plan, which consisted on writing the name of a movie on the board and ask students their opinion, but one of the groups had to be in disagreement and the other one in agreement with the movie. Some of them hadn´t seen the movie we were talking about. They got excited with some movies by giving their opinion and telling what they liked about the movie. After this activity, I asked them some question in general, but I told them that I was going to ask a question and they were going to raise their hand if they wanted to answer or I was going to choose someone to answer it. There was a lot of interaction between the students and I where they could practice their speaking skills. They seemed they felt comfortable with the questions. However, there were some of them that don´t seem having very difficult problems with the language. When, I finished with the questions, I asked them to make groups of three. I gave each group 3 flashcards in order to make them create a story using the drawing in the flashcard. I set 10 minutes for this activity, and I could realize that they have a very good imagination and could create a story in 10 minutes. I liked the performance of each groups because I made the three members of the group go to the front and tell the story. I congratulated each group and corrected them in a discrete way.

The next activity was a wrap up of the unit. I wrote some filling up exercises on the board and gave them the meaning of some new vocabulary that I was sure they didn´t know. I couldn´t have time to finish the exercises , but I say goodbye and thank for their participation.

Thrid class intermediate I

Hi people! today I had my thrid class with intermediate I. I arrived very early to prepare everything for the class. I had to begin with a new lesson plan and I started with the warm up activity. I liked the warm up, at first I didn't think it was going to be enterntaining, but students seemed to have fun and enjoyed the acitivity.. The activity consisted on pasting a label with the name of a famous person on students back. They had to be famous couples for they to find out who they were. They were not able to see the name of their famous person because they had to go around and ask their classmates who they were in order to find out their couple. It was very funny and I think they were enthusiastic. After that, I started with a dialogue, but to make it easier for them to have an idea of the dialogue, I drew two girls on the board and named them with the names according to the dialogue. I told them that I was going to read a dialogue between Dana and Adri. Students were paying attention to the dialogue, and then I wrote some questions about the dialogue which they had to answer. I read the dialogue three times for them to have an idea of the conversation. At the end, they could answer the questions correctly. Then, I started the new topic which was Simple past tense. They already had previous knowlege about this, so I wrote some examples about it, and made them say an example on their own. I liked this time the class motivation and interest because they seemed they liked the class because they pay attention. Even though I didn't feel so excited, I think it was a good class. I was like kind of off to the class, but I tried to do my best to follow my tutor's recommendations. I think I had a good feedback from the tutor because he told me details that could make the different in my teaching.
