MY SECOND ENTRY

DESCRIBE
In my second teaching experience, I felt more comfortable because I already knew my students and I knew what to expect from them. At the beginning, I did a warm up where they had to put into practice the simple present but since it was a board game it included things that they hadn´t studied yet. Fortunately, they were willing to investigate and ask me the meaning of it. Then it was just about practice. They completed conversations using the simple present and then they past to the front to role play the conversations. After each role play we corrected mistakes in order to remember what they had studied during the last classes. I noticed that all of them were excited to past to the front, which is weird since not all the  persons are wiling to do it, but fortunately no one said :NO and participated in this activity. Then I tried to make them move for them not to be bored and stretch up a little bit. They were laughing and trying to do what was asked. I really feel comfortable when students get involved and respond to my orders.
(ANALYZE)		PLAN ACTION _______________________ Next class, I will try to CCQ my students using yes-no questions. I do not have to expect them to explain each step I´ve said because they are beginners. I must ask simple-short questions, like: Are we going to stand up? So the Ss will answer YES or NO according to the instructions you gave them. This will be helpful for me to know if they got my instructions. Also I plan to talk less and leave them to talk more. I should be just a support when doing speaking activities if that is your main objective for the class, Make them speak.
INTERPRET	GENERALIZE
This day, it was about practice “speaking” what I think is the most difficult step for a teacher because students are afraid of making mistakes. So it is important to look for activities where students feel comfortable with speaking activities. It is a challenge to make them speak. Nevertheless it is good when they rise their hand to participate voluntarily so you as teacher has to observe what activities are more appropriate for them taking into account their level.	Any time when you make an activity, it is important to give clear instructions because if you do not do that it can become a chaos that is why I realized that using three verbs at the time is really useful. Students get confused when you tell them everything they had do, so try to explain each step doing them with actions. I mean do what you expect them to do. In this way they will understand better the instructions. With beginners, you should use easy verbs.
