I arrived around
8:15 to the classroom in order to get ready for the class, but unfortunately
when I arrived there were still a class over there, so I waited some minutes
more. When the classroom was ready, I started writing the date, the objective
and the agenda. The class was supposed to start at 8:30, but as few students
were there, I waited five minutes for more students. Then, I started by greeting
them and introducing myself; then, I gave the instructions for the warm-up
which was called The cinepolis. In this warm-up I was going to start
saying yesterday I went to the cinepolis
and I watched a romantic movie, and the next student had to continue saying
yesterday I went to the cinepolis and I watched
a romantic movie and a horror movie. And the other student had to add one
movie more and mention the previous ones; they liked doing this activity, and
they were paying attention to every single movie that their classmates
mentioned in order to not make a mistake when their turn took place.
As my classmate in
his previous practice had started teaching the vocabulary about movies, I continued
with a conversation regarding movies as well, and after made students repeat
the conversation, I asked them to look for the meaning of some words in the
conversation.
For the grammar
phase, first, I wrote two questions with their answers on the board for
students to familiarize with the topic; then I pasted some little charts in
order to explain the use of for and since in the present perfect. I
gave them some examples and explained each rule. Then, in order to know if they
had understood the explanation I asked them the same two questions that I first
wrote on the board and asked for specific students to give me the answers using
for or since, and as I realized they were able to do it, I moved on to the
controlled practice in which one the students had to choose the correct option
to complete a paragraph.
For the wrap-up, I
had planned to develop a short discussion of 5 minutes, but as the time had
gone, I told the teacher that I was not going to do it, and she told me that it
was ok, so my practice lasted 46 minutes exactly.
