Second entry (3rd period)

DESCRIBE

I think this class was better than the last one because I was more confident about the activities I was developing. Also, one of the things I think helped was that I developed the exercises from the book. It was strange because in the last two periods I didn´t work with a book, so I had to look for many activities by myself without a book or lesson plan as a support. But this case, it was different since I had the book as a backup. I had to look for one free activity in which students stood up and work in pairs. I think that the results were good and I got a good feedback about my whole class. So I am happy because it was a good day at the practice.

Having a book as a support helps the teacher during the class since the book itself provides what to develop in the class. However, it is really important to look for information by ourselves to vary the activities and the students can move and get interested in the topic. It is good for the teacher and the students to get interested or focused on the topic in order to learn. Many students are kinesthetic learners so it is good not to keep them on their seats. Make them participate, talk or discuss are a good resources for the class.
Bringing interesting or controversial topic to the class is a very good idea because you make them think and analyze about it. Then they can share their personal opinions about those topics. For example, they liked to talk about capital punishment, abortion, lowering the age of having a driver´s license etc. I think they really like those topics because they were participating in class.
Next class, I plan to make a activity similar to the one I made today because I had a good feedback and could see the interest of the students to complete their task. Also, I plan to study deeply the exercises and words of the book because they always have questions or doubts about. So as a good teacher you need to go ahead your students.

  1. Nice point of going ahead of your students, so they do not catch you hesitating or doubting about any word or topic.
