LAST CLASS

Before to start I´d like to say that I´m so glad that I finally finished my teaching practicum. It hasn´t been so easy, but I´ve learned a lot. 

For the very first time I wasn´t nervous before starting the class.

As a warm up, I had the students playing the "hot patato" game; the person who got the ball had to answer a question using "used to". After that, I had them working with a listening from the book which was also related to the topic "used to". For this class I was supposed to do only practice since the teacher had previously explained the grammar part.

After the listening, I had them working on a fill in the gaps exercise. Later, they worked on a short reading which talked about childhood memories, and taking as a model the paragraph I asked the students to write some sentences to talk about their childhood memories. As a follow up activity, I asked them to stand up and go around the classroom to share with their classmates what they had written. 

I tried to get students practicing the four macro skills of the target language, so I guess it was a good class. 

THIRD CLASS INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH I

Today I taught my third class with Intermediate English I. I must say that I feel really happy for this is almost the end of my teaching practicum. 
This time I felt things went so much easier, maybe because of the experience I have acquired throughout this course or probably the topic was kind of easy. I had  to teach the present perfect: simple and progressive. 
I began the class with a warm up related to vocabulary. After that I gave the grammar explanation. Later, I had them doing a fill in the blanks exercise which was a dialogue. When they had finished, I checked that everybody had answer properly, and I ask some of them to perform the dialogue in front of the class. 
After that, I had them developing an activity "find someone who". Because of time I had to stop them; they were enjoying and speaking a lot. Unfortunately, I didn´t have enough time to develop some exercises I had planned, but in general, I think it was a good class.
