First teaching, III period

Well, this time I felt better since the last group. First I introduced myself after the teacher introduced me to the group.

They are a very nice group. I am in Intermediate English I with teacher Roberto Carlos, and they are very nice. I started my class with a warm up, "stairs" which is on the lesson plan. I had them in three groups to participate, and it was nice for them. Later, I worked on the book and we talked a little bit about the strikes and the environment. Still in that moment, it was not exactly me Why? I was just leading the activity of the book... I had not given my touch in that moment ._.

Well, after that, I started to explain the good stuff, stative and dynamic verbs!! ☺ In that moment, I felt better because as I explained most of the students were asking me about the topic, and I answered all their questions. I spent most of the class explaining the grammar part until they could understand well the main topic, so I did not do a lot during class besides that. I just had a little problem... well, not exactly a problem. When I am writing on the board and want to erase, I take the eraser and do it, but most of the times (all the time), I do not know where I put the eraser, so I erase with my hand as the good Salvadorean that I am. I was sweating, and I erased a word with my hand. Then, I cleaned my forehead with my hand... I painted it with blue color. I felt as if I was in Avatar movie! ._.

No one told me about it, and I did not realize until I got out of the classroom, and a friend of mine told me that my forehead was blue ._.

This was my blog, and I wait for your comments :'D

Last class, II period

Well, I finally finished the classes this period, and I am glad about it. It was a nice class, and I learned with the students because I did not remember the topic which was verbs followed by gerund and infinitive.

I started the class with a boardgame as warm-up. They had fun, and they were sharing. With this one, I tried to involve them all (only those who were in class). After that, I had the grammar explanation on these verbs which were five:

1- Remember.
2- Forget.
3- Try
4- Regret.
5- Stop.

I explained the differences when you use them with a gerund or an infinitive, and we had some examples too. They understood well, and they provided some examples. I had a little problem, but it was very funny. I was reading an example that said: "We regret to tell you that your application was not accepted." I pronounced application as: Aplikashon. I did it like three times until I realized that it was not the right way, and when I corrected myself, I laughed and so did everyone in the classroom hahahaha. I felt as if I was the guy of the OpenEnglish advertisements. In my mind, I was thinking: "EEEEEEEEEXITO." XD

I finished the class, and I said goodbye to them making jokes about my mistake. Anyways, this was my last class, and I am glad that we have only one period left :D.
