CLASS 3, Period 1

I really enjoyed this class because I felt that the students are kind of getting used to my prescence there. I can say this because I saw that they felt more comfortable with me, they would participate more and they were even laughing and making jokes with me. First, the warm up was really fun! Since there were only 7 students, the teacher offered to be part of one team, and I decided to use her as a model so she couldn't help the group in a direct form. In this activity, the students were supposed to paste the names of each body part on the model. At the end, the teacher and the other group's model had paper all over their face and the rest of their body! The students were laughing and they had fun. I also noticed that they learned a couple of new words in this activity. Then, I showed some pictures of illnesses, and they knew almost all of them! I provided with some new ones and they also gave me some others they knew. We studied the Imperatives, and I liked it that I just explained a little, and they were giving me different examples! They got it all very quickly! I feel so good in this group that I didn't even realize that the time was over. When the teacher told me it was over, I even felt kind of sad! Lol...I really enjoyed it... :)

CLASS 2, Period 1

This week's class was really nice because I could see that the students I work with are really good students. They showed me that they have learned a lot, which made my class way easier than I expected. When I planned and began the class, I was counting on nothing really, I thought I had to start from zero, but they knew almost everything. One thing that did not go well was that there are only two people who have the book, which almost ruined one of my activities because they were supposed to work on an exercise from the book. Another thing that didn't go well is that I should have investigated a little more about the topic because one of the students asked a question in which I got confused, so I think that was a big problem. In all, the class was nice, and I felt the time passed really fast because we were having fun. I think my objectives were accomplished and most of this class went right. . .

CLASS 1, Period 1

I was a little worried about this week's class because I hadn't been able to get the Lesson Plan so I had to look for different activities in order to cover the topic that the students were supposed to study. The warm up turned out really good because the students seemed to enjoy playing with a ball. These students are really nice. They are respectful and very quiet. They do the tasks you ask them to do and focus. After that, they were unscrambling some sentences, which I thought would be an easy task for them to do, but I found out they have some problems dealing with the structure (Simple Present vs Present Continuous Tense). Then, they played a game in which they had to mime short sentences. They enjoyed it. This activity worked well with them. After they had some fun, I had them filling in some gaps. In this activity I could realize that they had a lot of problems, however, they have a great possibility to learn and manage this structure in a couple of days. That's all we did today.
