First Class ( Second period)

    As every group that I have worked  in my practices, they have taugh me something new. So, this new group will help me to increase my skills at teaching ESL better than I am doing . Well, the day seemed dark and sad because a pouring rain was falling down there, and just a few number of students had arrived to the classroom because they had problems to arrive to their classroom. However, I had already written my agenda and all the details about the lesson on the board. The class started with a warm up to instroduce the new grammar structure to the students.

They were divided in groups of four members and I provided them a quotation per each group. So, they had to read and discuss it with the members of the group. On the other hand I introduced them a  puppet that I took to my class. So, after they had read and analyzed the quotation, they had to take the puppet and  use it  to report  who said the quotation but simulating that the puppet was speaking, after that the student who had the puppet provided a explanation about the quotation. The warm up  was excellent because it introduced the structure of reported speech. So, the mentor told me that she liked this activity because the students were using reported speech without any explanation.

Second Class

Imagen
To my second teaching class I was commanded to talk about reactions and consequences. So, it was a new way of teaching because this kind of activities are for developing speaking skills. I designed  my lesson as always do and I was ready to teach without teaching grammar. I started my class developing a warm up called "Bippity Bop" that I learned from teacher Roni, It was good for the students because they like to have fun in every activity. I devoloped it making questions to the students that failed on it.  I guessed that I needed more time to work with this activitty but the time goes running and they need to work in another activities. The second activity students had to discuss and write ideas about a good action and a bad action. So, this kind of activities are useful to students because they develop empathy for other's problem. It is very important that students in this stage learn to identifiy what are some problems that they might face on their life. Somet...

Third class

This is was my third class on English Access but  unfortunatelly for  of us who were sent there,  was not a good experience because it took much time to teach because the teachers almost do not have enough time free. I used to listen all my classmates talking about their teaching practice,and they were to seemed happy because they have already finished their first period teaching. But for me was totally different because I finished it later.  It is difficult work in this way because, we have to attend  homework for the other subjects. However, If I will talk about my last class, well, I do not have too much to tell you because I was commanded only to make a short review about the simple past. All the students participated on it, and I felt more confident to teach because I prepared just three different exercises to covert my teaching time. I do not know what I have to improve because the teacher never gave me feedback about my classes because he always was run...

Third class ( second period)

     To finish my teaching practicum  in this second period, I had to work teaching a listening practice about weather conditions. It was a nice experience to work on it because the students took it seriouly, and I never had worked in this way.  The teacher  gave me the material and all the steps to develop it easily. So, it was easy  for me to plan the time for every single step.  Every student received a sheet of paper in which they had to complete the exercises according the  audios .  I had to play each audio twice because the students needed time to complete the exercises. After that, I checked the answers and provided some feedbacks to the students base on their answers. To conclude with my teaching time in this amazing group, I had to provide and develop two free activities to continue making practices about the grammar topic future perfect and future progressive. It was an extra practices  for the students because they...
