Greetings!!
Thanks God, my third experience
with this group of students was very good and I enjoyed it.
What went well?
Most of the activities turned out
the way I expected and students were very participative this time. Among the
activities that the teacher liked the most were: The warm-up because I started
the class by activating schema/prior knowledge, the presentation because I used
a song in which ss had to paste the most relevant lyrics for the topic, which
was about “Countable and uncountable food”, and finally, the teacher liked the
fact that I used a PowerPoint presentation to explain the grammar.
In the next link is the PowerPoint presentation, in case you want to check it.

What didn’t go so well?
Well, I had troubles with the
equipment; the projector wasn’t able to show the presentation that I had in my
computer so I had to use the teacher’s computer. Nevertheless, once we could
see the PowerPoint presentation everything was good and actually helped me to
save time since I didn’t have to write too much on the board or spend time
pasting charts.
At the end of the class I thanked
the students for their participation inasmuch as I wasn’t expecting their good
behavior, I didn’t tell them that, but I did thank them for their behavior
since the first class and they applauded me, so I felt very happy because I
know they did it with their heart :3
All in all, I’m really thankful
for all the experience that I have gained during my teaching practicum till now
because I have learned many good things from all people around me; I have
learned from their good attitudes, how to present the activities better, how to
manage the class better, and many other things that helped me to be better not
only as a professional, but also as a person.
