LAST CLASS 3RD PERIOD

WELL GUYS, THIS WAS MY LAST CLASS OF THE YEAR AND IT WAS REALLY NICE TO KNOW THAT YOUR STUDENTS FELT CONFORTABLE WITH YOU,

I STARTED MY CLASS DOING A FEEDBACK ABOUT THE LAST CLASS AND I HAD TO INTRODUCE THE NEW TOPIC. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PETS, I ASKED THEM SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR PETS, IF THEY HAVE ANY PET OR IF THEY  LIKE ANIMALS OR NOT AND WHY?

I STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF CERTAIN PETS. MY STUDENTS WERE SHOW ENTHUSIASM TALKING ABOUT THEIR PETS AND HOW MUCH THEY LOVE.
I PLAYED A CONVERSATION IN WHICH I HAD TO TELL THEM SOME NEW VOCABULARY AND THE PHRASES.

USING THE NEW VOCABULARY THEY HAD TO WRITE A SHORT PARAGRAPH DESCRIBING THEIR FAVOURITE ANIMALS.

WE TALKED ABOUT POSSITIVE TRAITS AND NEGATIVE TRAITS THAT SOME ANIMALS REPRESENT.

THEY WORKED IN PAIRS AND THEY PREPARED A SHORT PRESENTATION IN WICH THEY TALKED ABOUT CERTAIN ANIMALS.

I FINISHED MY CLASS TELLING THEM THANK YOU BECAUSE THEY WERE A NICE GROUP AND THEY PAID ATTENTION TO ME ALL THE TIME.

I FEEL REALLY NICE, BECAUSE IT WAS MY LAST CLASS AND I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OK,

2nd class 3rd period

Hi guys!!! I would like to share my experience with students from advnaced level. This day I began my class asking them about the last class, they started talking about the passive voice and they gave me some examples. I had to give them a feedback about the passive voice using modals, it was easy for them to understand the topic because i brought as many examples as i can.
Something that was really useful in my class is that I try to interact with my students and  we make some jokes in the middle of the class because the class starts at 6:45 am and i know that it is too early and they have to be active during the morning.
After a brief feedback and explanation of the topic we did some exercise first orally and them in a written form.
I finished my class working on the book and i assigned a homewor for the next class.

first class 3rd period

Hello guys!! I would like to share my experience in this class. Well I am working with students from advanced level, i knew somw of them because I was teaching them in intermediate and it was great to see them again. I started my class introducing myself for the ones that i did not know. After to asked their names i gave them a feed back of the last class.
The topic that we studied was about the uses of neither and either i did some exercises and they had to qork in pairs. Sometjin really nice that i can notice in the class was that they always speak in English I think is because they ate in advaced level and thay try to use the vocubulary that they already know.
I felt comfortable because they like to participate in the activities that I prepared, and they asked questions when they did not understand.
I liked the experience that I had with them because it was easy to do many activities with them because they work without any problem.
i finished my class sharing some ideas about the activity that they perdormed.

second entry, second period

hello everyone!!!! I would like to share my second experience with students from English Access with you!, this second class was really nice because since I started my class they were really enthusiastic and they told me that they like my class, I began my class doing a warm up and was consist of a memory game, they played the game in two groups, one of girls and one of boys, they liked the activity, as you know they feel tired when they come to classes, they do another activities before and when they arrive to the program they feel tired, for that reason you have to be really energetic, do many activities interacting with them and be really enthusiastic.

I continued my class explaining about HAD BETTER I before the brief explanation I gave them many examples as I can in order they understand better. I asked some questions just to check if they were prepare for some exercises about the explanation. some of them asked me some specific questions and I felt really nice because they were putting attention to my class.


something that I noticed this class was that when they are doing any activity and I gave them specific time to finish it they work really fast and very well, but when I did not tell them how much time they had for the activity they did not do it or finish it, so believe it or not they preffer to work under pressure they really like to work in this way.

I finished my class sharing the responses of the activity , all of them participate and I felt really confortable with them, I really like this group.

first class second period, English access

This day I faced a new experience with students from English Access, at the begining I felt nervous because they are teenagers! I knew that working with teens was really different because you have to be more enthusiastic, more active and of course you have to interact with all of your students.  
I started my class playing a gane named rock,paper and scissors, I did this activity like a warm up,  after that I continued my class explaining something about "would rather"  I gave them some examples in order to they understand better students paid attention to me all the time and they asked many questions when they did not understand something.
I brought some exercises in which they had to use " would rather"  and "prefer" after they finished the exercise they shared their ideas. 
I did another activity in which I brought some balls thet had to throw to a red circle that I sticked on the board and aftet they did it they had to picked up one ball, inside of each  ball there was a question related with te topic and they had to answer that question  with their information.
I finished my class doing the activity and when I noticed that my classmates were confortable with my class I felt less  nervous.

THIRD CLASS, ADVANCED LEVEL.

Hello everyone, this was my last class in advanced level, it was a nice experience because students from this level are really different from others, they participate in class and when you need to do any activity is something nice to know that all of the students will participate.
I began my class doing an activity in which they had to work in group, I divided the class in two groups, and I bring some sentences in which they had to fix them and write them on the board, they first group that fix and write the sentences in a correct way this group had a point. I did this activity as a warm up, after that I had to do another activity in which they continued to do some exercises to review "the future perfect" I noticed that they had some problems doing the sentences and I had to do a feedback because they had many doubts about the topic.
they finished the activity and Teacher Walter  gave me a reading activity but I did this reading in another way, I divided the reading in sentences, students worked in pairs, and they had to perform the sentence that they had, for example the reading had some parts in which they had to do some mimics like a baby and this was so funny, because they completed the sentences doing something differents, I finished my class saying "thank you " for their respect and attention that they had with me. It is really nice to know that every single thing that you do in your class help other students that one day have to do their teaching practicum.
