The Second Class Better or Worse than the First one..??

This was my second class with teacher Alex in Intermediate English I. And I think that many things went well. The first one was the video activity we made for the first time in this course. Students enjoyed this activity and the best thing is that all of them participated..!!! and were paying attention, because I asked them to complete the guide I made myself for them to work and it was really nice to see that they did it well.
Another thing that worked well today was that I asked them to fill in the blanks with the topic they studied yesterday and they could do it too. It was kind of hard for them this topic, they are studying Comparatives and Superlatives, so what I did is to bring extra material in order to make easier the class. The teacher continued with the same topic, using a handout with a large list of adjectives in order to help them. I really like this group. I thought that it was going to be hard for me because I have an student that used to be with me in other group in believe me...he was really difficult.... but now he`s not...!!!

Something that did not work well today was that it took a lot of time to set everything to watch the video, and then I needed that time. The teacher could see that it was not my fault and after this bad thing the feedback he gave me was good.
I applied the comments the teacher told me the last class and they worked well. Today I used two different classroom management such as semi-circle and circle. I also used different interaction formats. For example : pair- work, group work and working in trios. They really enjoyed working in trios today.I really liked the way in which my students worked today because they spoke more english and the teacher noticed that. I finished my class very happy today because the teacher gave good comments about my class.... I hope to get good grades because I didn`t see any numbers...!!!!

  1. Well done teacher Cory!!
    I know you are doing a great work with your students and the best of all is that you are learning new things too.

    The activities you did were very interesting because you are making your students to speak more English every class and that is good because students are practicing new vocabulary, new expressions, new structures, etc.
    Well done my friend, continue working hard : )
