Third Class, II Period

Well, I felt so excited and nervous for this class. To start, I had been sick during the whole week. I got a hard flue and an awful cough, and also I had not sleep well the night before. Mo matter, I prepared my class and tried to do it in the best way I could. Firstly, I prepared a warm up with an activity called “What am I/ am I not/ doing?” because the topic was Present Continuous Tense.

I asked for two students to be volunteers and to come to the front and to guess what the sentences were. I asked both students a boy and a girl to sit down one in each desk located in front of the students and having the board in the back. Then, the rest of the class had to mimic what the sentence said, and the two students had to say aloud the right sentence. At the end, the girls were the winners.

Shortly after, I went to explain the part of grammar. I started with pasting a chart on the board, a chart done by myself. This chart contained the elements to build questions using present continuous tense. Also, the chart contained some example which were so helpful at the moment of teaching this topic.

After this, I presented some pictures for they to tell me a question and a possible answer. It was interesting because with this I could notice if they had understood the part of grammar that I had already explained to them. 

I was glad because the students showed me that they had understood the topic. So after that, I went to another activity. This activity was about to complete the blanks on a work sheet. I did it because I wanted to support the topic that was Present continuous Tense Questions. They did it awesomely, however, I make the students to tell me the right answers and then to repeat after me.

Afterward, they had to create a short conversation, and they had to put into practice the previous knowledge as well as the actual. At the end when they finish creating the conversation, I did pieces of paper that contained YES and NO. The pairs that got Yes had to pass to the front to perform the conversation. And so finally, three pairs were going to pass to perform the conversation and in this way my class concluded. I was glad and with brief words I said to the students “thanks for behaving great and for learning from my classes”. So I finished and the teacher said to me “awesome, you did it awesome this time”. Finally I went out of the classroom because the students had a listening test.
