My First Experience (2° period)

Describe At the beginning of my class, I saw that my students were speaking in Spanish. Moreover, when I started to teach, they paid attention to me and helped me with the activities. They are very good students and they like to participate in class. I arranged the desk in groups in order to develop a warm up related to the topic: “Technology and You”. I used that arrangement with a reading comprehension including some pictures in order to introduce the topic. The reading was about a scientific doing an experiment.  I proved that incorporating information that they already know is better for they to acquire knowledge. Furthermore, I used a big chart to explain the grammar structure of the present continuous. I did not include too much information in order to be clear. This class was nice. Although I was kind of nervous and sick, I enjoyed it.

To start with a warm up keeps students to be active the whole class. Students learn better when they do what they really like. I think that tutors, when teaching beginners, should incorporate active activities.	Based on what I already know about beginning with a warm up, I think that some students acquire information while playing. Based on what I observed, I think students liked to learn with simple examples. I believe that praising students plays an important role in their participation.	So, in the future, I will incorporate the eye contact with the students because today I did not perceive that I just paid attention to one side of the classroom. In future lessons I will create more colorful charts. The next time I teach this lesson, I will include active warm ups. In future experiences I will also include more activities to develop in group.
