the last teaching practice

As the teacher likes to have the practitioners observing one class before the practice, I went to observe on Tuesday in order to teach on Thursday; at the end of the class, she gave me the activities that I have to develop, and actually they were just two activities, but I have to include warm-up and wrap-up.

I arrived to the classroom so early; I was excited to start the class, but at the same time, I was nervous because I had the flu; and any ways I had to develop the class, so I wrote the date, objective and the agenda.

I started the class at 4:00 ó clock and in the classroom were just five students; the warm-up that I developed was “the handball” and in the penalties I wrote some questions in order to make a review of the previous topic which was the past of “be” and the teacher had already introduced the WH-Questions.

 After that, I read some adjectives to describe trips; I made students repeat the adjectives; then, I gave them an example of one of my trips using those adjectives, and later I asked them to write some sentences about one trip that they had done (because they had been talking about their trips) using at least two or more adjectives; something that I forgot to the explain here was the meaning of each adjectives, but when students read what they had written, I could notice that they knew the meaning because each adjective has one picture; but I learned that I have to explain to the students the meaning of each new word.

Later, I explained the students how to make WH-Questions in the past tense of the verb “be”. Then, I provided them some examples, and I gave them a sheet of paper in which they had to transform some sentences into WH-Questions. I provided them 10 sentences, and when I checked them, I noticed that some students had troubles in two sentences while others had troubles in three sentences; even thought it was a challenging for they to transform sentences into WH-Questions, I can say that they worked well.

As a wrap-up, I provided the students five questions, and they had to unscramble them; I noticed again that they had understood the structure to make WH-Questions because they were able to do it in a perfect way.

As I conclusion of the three practices that I developed, I can say that I leant a lot from the feedback that I received because even thought that things I didn´t develop perfectly, the teacher used to tell me those things  in a nice way, and also she provided me the way to improve them.
