MY SECOND CLASS...!!!! BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE



Today was my second class with Intermediate English I with Teacher Karen. This class was really interesting and rewarding for me. Everything worked well. I coudn`t believe this, but it is true. For the warm-up activity I brought a crossword about the topic we were studying (prepositions of place) My objective was pretty clear students had to create sentences using the studied structure. All of them arrived to class, late, but they appeared. I felt really happy with this class because they worked in every activity I brought even the teacher participated with them. Something that didn`t like about this class is that they came late as I told you before, but the teacher told me to begin the class and I did. I used one classroom management such as semi-circle. I also used different interaction formats. For example : pair- work, group work and working in trios. They really enjoyed working in trios today. They had to create sentences by looking at the chart I brought and then read them.
I really liked the way in which my students worked today because they spoke more english and the teacher noticed that. When I asked them to say the paragraph they wrote.
I think that today was the day that these students worked the most. I brought more than 3 activites and they were writing,asking,paying attention,answering and also participating in all the activities I presented.


The activity in which the students used more English was when they were describing the given picture by using there is/there are and a preposition of place word. They did it well.
Something that is very important in order to reach the objective of the class is to set activities according to the objective for that day.

  2. I saw the material you had for the class and it inspired me to do the things the best I can. I have noticed that you always try to do it. The group is very lucky because you apply many interesting activities for them. Even when they are not familiar with such a nice creativity because they normally don´t have it, you are getting along with them and the best thing is that they are learning! GREAT JOB :)

  4. As i can see you had a very different experience in this class. I always like the way you work. You are amazing at doing things (didactic materials) I had the opportunity to see part of the material you prepared for your class and it was not only interesting, but also beautiful.

    I am glad to see that your students had a different attitude today. I can also see that you are learning new things with them. Congrats my friend.
