Third Class, III Period

This was the last class of this cycle, and everything ended up nicely. I did never expected to do so but everything came out awesomely. 

First, I started with my warm up. I wanted the students to make a brief review of the past classes to look over the student’s progress. It was amazing. Possibly, most of the students had learn from my classes and that was encouraging. 

In the warm up, we played the game “if I had a magic wand, I would change the day that…” Well, I wrote on the board this phrase and then I started saying, “if I had a magic wand, I would change the day that I was going to buy a cellphone, but I lost my money”. As the past topic was future in the past, they were going to start the class by feeding back prior knowledge.

I passed a magic wand that I had done using a piece of foamy and a stick, and I made all of them to participate in the game including the ones who came in late. All of them said the phrase written on the board, and they completed it with a past ruined-plan. When they finished, I continued with the class.

New vocabulary was what I had to teach. Therefore, I asked them to go to their books on page 65, exercise A. they were going to pay attention to the listening and spot the highlighted expressions. Meanwhile they were listening to; I pasted on the board the same expression. When the listening ended, I began to explain the meaning of those expressions one by one. Something useful for it was to give and ask for their own examples. 

After that, on the same page there was another exercise regarding to the preview listening. They had to complete a fill in the blank drill putting into practice the vocabulary already studied. They did it nicely in almost five minutes.

Afterwards, I pasted a chart on the board. I pretended to make a practice with the students in which they were going to pay attention to another listening containing the same vocabulary or expression, and the one who hear it had to paste it on the spaces missing on the chart. I played the listening and asked a boy to stand up and be ready to paste the word and phrase missing on the chart. Well, he did it great and so on the next three students.

In conclusion, I asked the students to make two groups. In one side would be group A and in the other side group two. I presented a situation in which they would discuss about whether they were agree or not. I really liked this activity because I saw the participation of the students by using the new vocabulary seen in class. This way my class finished and I just said thank you to all of them because they had done everything good and had given me a good impression by time. Therefore, it was all.
