second practice

My second teaching practice; the teacher asked me to go to observe her class the previous day of my practice because based on what she had planned, I had to continue, so I went, and after her class finished, she gave me like the agenda that I had to develop for my practice. Thus that, based on the activities that she told me to develop, I created the lesson plan, and I sent it to her that night; the next the day in the morning, she had replied me, and she suggested me to rewrite the objective and to modify some activities, so I did it.

In the afternoon, I was ready to start the class, but as always the students arrived late, I started the class at 4:00 ó clock which was good for me because I had in mind that at 4:45 I had to finish.

The warm-up that I developed was “ Don´t let the balloon down” even though they were few students, they had fun with this game; when we were about to finish with the warm-up, more students arrived to the class. 

Later, asked the students to open their books in the page 67 and to work in the exercise A which was about Frequency Adverbs; and I played an audio, and students had to circle the best frequency adverb that complete the sentences; when they finished, I checked them, and they had worked very well. 

Then, I asked them to work in exercise B which was about The simple present and the present continues; after that as transition I asked the students the following questions “ why is important to to stay in shape”, and “what people have to do to stay in shape” after some minutes of discussion, I  played another audio  the first time was for students to get familiar with it. Later, I played it the second time for students to circle the words that complete the statements, and the last time was for they to recheck their answers; then, I asked them to make three groups for sharing their findings, and I asked one by one to read what they had.

Later, I moved to the next activity which was a survey; I asked the students to complete the survey in their books in page 69. At the end of the survey, they were having fun because some students realized that they were couch potato.

                

To end up with the class, I asked students to tell me some new words that they had leant in that class, and the words that students said were the following: couch potato, junk, salty, shape.

So, I finished that class exactly at 4:45 which surprised me because I was able to develop all the activities as I had planned in the lesson.
