Well, I
just started a new experience with the English Access course, and I find it
very nice. I had the opportunity to teach this group, and as some of you said,
they are great students, and I could see why they were awarded with this
scholarship to study English. I started my class by arranging their seats in a
circle shape and used an icebreaker to start. It was a warm-up which was about
writing a story for one minute. After the minute, they had to pass their
notebooks to the person to their right to continue the story and so on. They enjoyed
this game, and at the end, some of them read the stories they had.
Later, I
presented a reading with the purpose to introduce and review the simple past
and the past progressive. I had them take a look on the picture of the reading
and asked them about what they thought that happened to the girl, so they
asked. Later, I corrected some of the words they pronounced wrong. Anyways, I
had them read and underline the past progressive forms. I had a quick review
about this topic because they are very good students and already knew about
this topic.
At the end,
I finished the class and had the feedback which made me realize some of the
good points I had as well as the bad points. I am glad that I can learn every
time more of any experience, and I am sure that I will keep like that J.
It is so nice to read that you learn from every experience you have, because not everybody thinks in that way :) Very good class Gustaviro,I could see that they had fun and learned at the same time. As you said, they deserve this scholarship, because they like to take advantage of everything you teach to participate and practice as much as they can. Enjoy this group my friend. Good job!!
ResponderEliminarHy Gus, It is good to know you are having a nice time with the group you have. I like the warm up activity you developed because they could practice writing; plus, it is funny because at the end they come up with pretty nice endings. As you say, we have many more to learn from each teaching experience!! Nice idea to bring a picture for the reading, btw that makes them feel more interested in the task they are performing.
ResponderEliminarGreat job!!!
Looks they had fun man!! it's great to see the enthusiasm you give in each class!!. Every teacher should take it into account. Hope you continue teaching as well as you do it!!
ResponderEliminarBlessings!
well, classmate, I can see that you improve your classes every day; it is very good because you get more experience.
ResponderEliminarI like the warm up activity because the students (in this case teenagers or children)can develop their spatial intelligence and imagination in order to create a story at the same time they have fun and it is very good activity.
Hello! Gustavo
ResponderEliminarI'm glad to hear that you really enjoyed your class experience with this group. I really liked the way you started the class because the warm-up activity was very interesting. And something good I could notice was that you arranged their seats in a circle shape; and I consider it is necessary so that you can have a better view of the students and they can also feel in a good environment.
Keep on working hard, BLESSINGS!!
