This week was very busy to me and it is not unusual.In fact, it was normal. The topic that I had to teach was about modals and adverbs that express possibilities in the future... It was an interesting topic. The part of grammar explanation, was my part in the practicum class. At the beginning of the class there were only 5 students in the classroom. It took me by surprise because I had prepared a song with slips of papers to complete the whole lyrics of the song. It was difficult to do it with only 5 students. Well, I had to begin with them , but little by little the rest of the guys were getting in to the classroom. It was nice because I could see that they are very responsible and they like to work. It was satisfactory at the end when I saw 14 of them trying to sing and complete the activity. Then, they wrote ideas in their graphic organizers. They shared what they had with the class. Then, they practice some exercises about adverbs of possibilities.. The class arragement was accurate because they were confortable. Even though I had some mistakes in my explanation. I noticed I repeated too much the word "also" and instead of saying Possibilities I said probabilities , that are math expressions. These are just some of the words I could see. At the end I made a wrap out with some questions about the topic and the students shared about what they´ve learned. If I had to teach this lesson again , I would use more technological material.. it should probably do the class more interesting and the students would learn more,too.

Teaching Intermediate ! class one

I´ve begun my first class teaching Intermediate students.with a right foot even when I am left handed. It´s a great experience and I feel very enthusiastic because I know it will be my last period in this practicum subject I hope so. I´ll try to do my best in every single activity. I planned my first class thinking about the different students that I have. They are only 14 or less. I am really pleased to have such a nice group. Today, the topic I developed was about the verbs followed by gerunds and infinitives.

I was afraid about their practice because I know there are many things to remember. They did it very good during their activities in class, they wrote and talked about their preferences. I consider very helpful the suggestion of my tutor because we as practicioners have to see the development of the previous class in order to know where to follow the next class. It is a good idea ;in my case it helped me a lot to understand and plan the activities of my practice.
The students were participating even when the class has 3 listeners they could follow directions and practice the exercises. Something that I will remember is that I should use more activities related with movements because I could see the professor guiding an activity to make them move.. Perhaps it was because that was the last class of the week.
