SECOND CLASS - Friday, February 27, 2015

     My second class in this first period was even better than the first one because I already knew the group, the teacher and also I had the necessary confidence to develop my class properly.  I carried out series of activities according to the topic I was given to teach. First, I developed a warm-up activity that encouraged student to be focus and be active learners because they were participative. Moreover, I used many flashcards that supported the grammar phase, and I also made use of body language, which permits students understand things better.

      I tried to set up a better environment by giving students the chance to feel free when asking or when trying to participate and use the target language. This gave them the chance to start getting accustomed to use English in the classroom and avoid L1. I tried to b well organized and fortunately, I completed my class in time stipulated. As a feedback, I performed a wrap-up activity that made students be enrolled with the topic previously developed.

      I thought it was adequate to use a semi-circle to order the students because I was able to see everybody and check their work in class. Also, this way to have them seated gave me the chance to walk around and check everything around. Students looked comfortable and active. I prepared many important activities to complete my assigned time and also I prepared extra material to support students’ learning. This colorful material made students be focused and constantly participating.
