Third class of the last period!!! May 12th, 2011.

Heyyyy people here I am once again and this time I am not delayed hehehe… Ok this is the entry for my third class of the period. Can you believe it? Just one more time teaching and the semester will be over.

Let me tell you that this time I was feeling nervous at the beginning because I was going to videotape during the whole hour. It was kind of weird because when you are videotaping yourself you feel the necessity of making all the things in a perfect way, but at the end you feel so nervous that you end making a complete mess hahaha…

In general terms I can say that my class was OK. I started with a warm-up activity as I usually do and it was so useful because I could review the previous topic and at the same time I introduce the new one.  This time I had to cover the topic “Quantifiers”, so I tried to do it in a way students do not feel confused because these kinds of topics are tricky sometimes even for teachers.

When I was explaining the grammar part I tried to interact with the students in order to ask them if they had understood the topic because sometimes they are so shy that they do not tell you that they have not understood it. When you ask questions during the grammar explanation you can make sure if your students are paying attention or not.

My class was mainly focused on explaining the quantifiers “Few, A few, Little and A little” and I brought to the class a graphic to let everything clear. I also brought some flashcards that used to make my students participate in the classroom.

After I finished with this, I gave to the students some practice, and when I realized my time was over. I guess this are the most important points of this experience. See you next time.
