Teaching Practicum l - Second Class

My Second experience was on February 7^th, 2017. This time was a little different because I was not nervous at all. I started my class by developing a warm up activity ‘’ninja hands.’’ They understood the activity, but before starting the game I modeled an example. After that I made a review about adjectives and nationalities, so I pasted a big chart on the white board. I tried to explain the chart as clear as possible; then I gave them pieces of paper that contained the ‘’BINGO GAME,’’ in which students had to mark the nationalities with an ‘’X’’ just if they had it in the paper.

In my second activity, I asked them to open their books, but some of them did not have books yet, so I made groups of three, so they could share and work at the same time. My third activity was a speaking activity in which they had to practice a dialogue. At the end I chose some of them randomly to perform in front of us, I think they did a pretty good job because they were willing to participate; also they asked me about the words they did not know.

My last activity, was ‘’who is your famous person?’’ It was a speaking activity in which I tried to include famous people, so my students could describe by using details, adjectives, nationalities. I think they had so much fun trying to guess who the famous person was.

Finally, I can say that I really enjoyed this class, and while I was teaching I felt comfortable. On the other hand, there are many aspects to improve that I will try to do it in my future classes.
