Last Entry, First Period

Well, On Monday, August 12th, I had my last class for this period (Yes, I know it is too late now that I post this ._. ).

Ok, let's get into business! To start the class, I greeted them, and had a nice warm-up. The warm-up was "stairs." I guess you already know it. It is about writing a word on the board and write another word with the last letter of the previous word. It was something like this:

Tomato
          r
          g
          a
          notion...

And so on...

Well, after that, I had a reading with them and asked them to underline the modal verbs they find and also the new vocabulary for them. After reading it, I had them reading it out loud, and also, after the reading, there were some questions. I had them answering them, and later, we discussed the questions. Then, I asked them where the modal verbs they underlined were, and we checked them all together. After it, I helped them with the new vocabulary for them. I explained to them the new words (fortunately, I knew them all haha). After that activity, I had them form groups. I assigned them a number from one to four to get in groups so that number ones were working together, number twos the same and so on. I gave them some pieces of paper containing some questions to discuss them. I monitored their work and also asnwered their questions and doubts. It was very good because they all were participating and sharing ideas.

At the end of the class, I said goodbye to them. It was not so good because I really liked this group, but I am glad that I could work well with them and that they were cooperating with me. It was such a great experience, and I am sure that you all have gotten good experiences that will help you improve every time such as this one has helped me.

Cheers.

  2. Hi chele!!!! the warm up you used is really nice, I remember that I used it when I was teaching basic during the last semester and he had so much fun!!! having them working in groups elected by number association is really nice, they have the chance to interact with their peers, give their own information, etc. and at the same time it allows you to hear how much they are practicing their speaking skills...Congrats my dear!!!!!
