Today`s class was kind of sad for me because this was the last class I had with this group... I think that many things worked well today, but the feedback..¡¡¡ For the first time I brought 5 activities for the class. They were kind of short. Students worked hard today, but the best thing is that all of them participated. Something strange happened today,and it was that for the first time in the whole period all students were there. I didn`t know why until the teacher told me that they had an exam, so it was kind of hard for me to manage the whole group,but I think I could do it. Students were on task the whole morning. I brought the material for them to work there. I think I reached my objective for today`s class. It was that students had to their likes, dislikes, preferences, and wishes using gerunds, infinitives, and would like/prefer, not only an oral form, but also written. As
always I brought some pictures and cards to perform the activities and make the class easier.
always I brought some pictures and cards to perform the activities and make the class easier. This particular group always worked in a semi-circle,so I continued doing that. I also used different interaction formats.For example : pair- work, group work (Three groups) When I was giving directions today I tried to be clear, and for the first time I did not repeat the directions. I really like working with them.
The activity in which the students used more English was when they had to build their own sentences using their wishes and preferences.
Finally, it is important for me to mention that classroom management and monitor is something that has been improving every class. It is nice to check that students are working and as always they want to ask you something. I could see today that flashcards or any otrher materials are really helpful and meaningf
ul for my students, and also are a good activities for increasing speaking in the classroom.

Cory, wow!! I really liked the way you worked with your students. It is really nice to see how you have improved your work in each class as I have seen.
ResponderEliminarAs you said, pictures, flashcards, etc, are really useful to teach because you can show your students the meaning of some words without using the mother tongue.
the use any kinds of materials are always helpful. They help the teacher to work in a very nice way because students understand better what the teacher explains to them.
I imagine the kind of material you made for them because you are a very creative teacher. That's why it is important to use any kinds of materials to teach an English class. Congratulations my friend. Nice job!!
Cory,
ResponderEliminarI think that you really did a great job with this group. I know the students enjoyed your classes. Of course, there were some things that did not work the way you expected, but that is part of our learning.
Teacher Cory!!
ResponderEliminarYou said that you were surprised to see that all the students were in your last class. Congratulation because you could manage all the group even when the students were worried because of the exam!! I think that it was a challenge you had. Every time students have an exam, they do not pay attention because they are thinking on how difficult the exam will be!
You also said that you developed five activities. That is really important for students in order to practice the structure in while developing different activities. Congrats!!
I am sure you will do a great job next period!! Good luck!
Well done my friend!
ResponderEliminarI know you really like teaching and this makes things easier in a classroom. I can see that your last experience was a nice experience. Something that you mentione is that classroom management was improving class after class. It is nice to see that we can recognize that things don't go well since the very beginning because we improve many things during our experience. I know you have improved many aspects and now I'm sure that you are a better teacher than in the previous period. Cheers for you my dear!! : )
