Describe
What I saw during this slice
of lesson is that my students were sitting and waiting for me. To start the
class, I had to introduce a new unit “Inventions and Discoveries” so that I
had to introduce new vocabulary from the whole unit. I thought it would be
really nice if they develop a word search puzzle with the vocabulary as a
warm up. So, I brought some pages with the square and the list of words and
also I made a big char; I think that it really worked. Then, I explained the
difference between the words INVENTION And DISCOVERY using the vocabulary; I
needed the help of my students. For this class, I decided to arrange the
class in small groups as it would be easier to develop the rest of the activities.
During the class, I use pictures, colorful charts, stories of inventions, etc.
To sum up, I am sure that they understood the grammar explanation as well as
the new vocabulary.

I think that students of
intermediate do not basically need a kinesthetic warm up. They enjoy to do
simple warm ups.
To avoid the grammar
mistakes I did, I should practice more after the class.
I think that to include
readings and dialogues in a presentation of a topic is an easier way to make
students understand.

Based on what I already know
about giving feedback to the students, I consider that the feedback is better
right in the moment.
Based on what I observed, I
am sure they do not need a bog warm up.
I believe that confidence
helps if the teacher starts since the very beginning smiling with the
students, so they will feel nice being in the classroom.

So, in the future, I will include some songs and more stories about
discoveries around the world. Also, I will teach using a power point
presentation.
In future lessons I will incorporate
more speaking activities since I was teaching the conditional sentences.
The next time I teach this
lesson, I will practice more about my grammar in discourse.
In future experiences I
will also pay attention to my student’s recommendations.

Hi Rose,
ResponderEliminarI like to read about all the things you do in your class. That's very dinamin. On the other hand, I'd like you to check what you write twice because when we are reading, we tend to confuse what you are describing. Overall, I'm glad to hear that you are a great teacher and that you are enjoying your teaching process.
