Hello people this is a new week of university which means that I have to teach again. This time was kind of difficult for me because I felt a little bit sick the previous day of my practicum, so I did not sleep well. In general my class was nice because this time I tried to follow all the recommendations my tutor gave to me the previous class, and I guess I got a better interaction with my students this time. I implemented a strategy for group the students and made them work with the people they are not use to work because this was a problem I could notice in the previous class that students just like to work with the same people all the time and that makes them reduce their attention span toward the class.
The part I liked the most was the part in which I taught grammar because I did not teach it at all but students did it for me. I had to cover the part of teaching the English articles “the, a, and an”, so I made two groups and I gave each group a piece of information with the purpose for them to teach each other after some minutes. The idea was great because at the end they got the idea and did not feel pressured for learning it at all.
At the end I could feel satisfied with the work I did, but as anything is perfect I received some observations from my tutor teacher. She explained to me some things I thought were ok, but actually needed some improvements. I will take them into consideration, and I hope next time will be even better than this one!!!
Oscar,
ResponderEliminarIt is good that you are taking into account your tutor's suggestions. That means that you really want to do things well. I like the activity you did to explain the grammar part. I would like you to talk a little bit about that in class. You know, it is good to share the good activities with the erst of the people.
