Second Semester, Class 2

Second Semester, Class number two...

Hello everyone, this is teacher Nery one more time! Today I want to talk about the second class I tought in the second semester, 2017. That was a pretty nice class because I prepared many material (It means visual aids). The class was about movie genres and the grmmar was about 'd rather. I started the class with a warm up called "Poker Face" in which Ss were divided into two groups. Then, they were taking turns to pass an seat down in front of the oposite groups. The challenge was DO NOT LAUGH FOR 10 SECONDS! Only boys could get it.

Then, I had them working on a gallery walk that I had prepared for them in which I presented them eight of the different genres that there are. I could observe that they enjoy that activity since they did not want to stop. Just after that, I explained them the grammar part and they developed some exercises to practice it. After that, I had them working on a reading about some of the most famous movies, lately. 

And, finally, I had them working in trios. They had to presetn what was their favorite movie explaining what the genre was about and some other aspects...using the grammar structure that we were studying in the class.

Hello everyone! I am glad to be talking to you one more time! Today, I am going to talk about my first teaching practicum in this semester. I’m going to tell you some details for you to have a better idea of the whole picture: I had the pleasure to be teaching in the room F-21, which is the room for Intermediate English I, group “D”. I started my class at 8:35 a.m. My mentor is Teacher Henry Cartagena, an amazing person. There were around 17 guys, boys and girls, in the classroom by that time and the rest were arriving later.

I started my class presenting myself and giving a piece of paper to all my Ss for them to write their names so that they could be called by their names. Then, I continued with a warm up very easy in which Ss had to count from 1 to 10 (go and back). After that activity, I asked my Ss if they had brought their passports so that they could travel to around the world with me. Since they were not holding their passports, I told them that they could use the pieces of paper with their names as IDs.

Right after, I had them going out to the main hallway where there were some pics of different places and/or activities that we can do around the world. Finally, I had them working on page 6 of the book in the grammar part.
