HOT REFLECTION # 2
In this opportunity, I will tell you about my second experience when teaching. I started the class talking a little bit about valentine's day, so the students were enthusiastically participating as I asked them what they would do for that speacial day, then, I developed the energizer called "earhquake" with them, this activity went pretty well, and students had fun with it.
Later on, I introced them new verbs in the simple past by pasting some color sheet of papers on the board with some verbs written on it, they seemed to be interested with this activity because they were discussing about the possible meaning of these verbs, after that, I gave them the definition and an example of each verb, and then I told them to write a sentence per each verb, as I was monitoring, I could realize that they were writting what I told them to do. In this activity, I took more time as I have planned.
Then, I told them to write five questions in the simple past on their notebooks about things they wanted to know about the past of their classmates, after this, I told them to stand up, pass in front of the class, and get in pairs to talk about the questions. Finally, I chose some students to share their answers for the whole class. In this stage, students did not have any problem because the activity followed a good pace.
I could not finished my last activity because I ran out of time, so in the next class, I will be very carefull with the time I assign to each activity because sometimes they take more time as we planned, and I also need to minimize my talking time. I really enjoyed teaching, and nerves went away completely.
Hello Osmin. That was cool you asked about Valentines`s day. it seems you had a better class today, looks your students participated even more, and as you said, be careful with the time for the next time.
ResponderBorrarThank you Karla, i think time management is a problem, but i will try to handle with it.
BorrarHey Osmin! I consider that the time management is always a problem for all of us, but you should consider it for the next class because you already know how your students work.
ResponderBorrarHi Osmin! I noticed that you had a good control of your class. Just be careful with the control of the time. I think that all of us have problems with that, but this is something that we learn with the experience. Good job!
ResponderBorrarHello Osmin! I think that experience with the time will help you in your next class!! Time is always a problem; for that reason, we have to pay attention on that
ResponderBorrarHi Osmin , Time management it's an aspect that many of us need to improve, but anyways you did a good job when introducing the new vocabulary to students as you also gave them examples about it, and it was great that you had them sharing their questions with the whole class.
