HELLO and welcome to my blog!!!
OMG this is my final entry of
this semester because I’m done with the teaching practices and it feels So
great, isn’t it guys?
Thanks to my lovely God, I didn’t
get nervous in this class which was amazing because I could enjoy it more and I
record it too. However, in comparison with my previous lessons this one was not
so good as the other ones because it wasn’t so interactive and dynamic; I had
to teach grammar and make sure ss understand the topic with a controlled
practice and that reduced the time for me to do more active and fun activities.
Nevertheless, I began the class
with TPR; we played a game that many of you may already know it by this moment
because some of us have done it in our previous classes, the game is called: “Rabbits
to your house, Houses to your rabbit and Earthquake!”. It was kind of difficult
to explain so I had to explain it twice, but at the end we all had fun. I took advantage
of the activity to elicit some vocabulary about furniture, which was the target
vocabulary and “Some and any” the target grammar.
The other game that I could do
was “The Chinese Whisper” in which the class was split in two groups and each
team did a vertical line in front of the board so that the participant of each
group who was in front of the board could write the sentence which was sent it
orally and secretly by their group. The sentence was given by me to the last
two participants of each group at the same time so that they could say it to
the person who was in front of them, and this person could say it to the next
person and so on till the message could get to the person who was in front of
the board. The team who did it faster and without any grammar or spelling
mistakes got a point and the team with more points got the prize!!
Well, that was my class and as I
told you what I liked the most was the fact that I didn’t get nervous, and that
I could enjoy it more, especially the first and the last activity. It was also
nice to see the students’ good attitude in this and in the previous class because
in the first one they were like not cooperating, so it makes me think that, in
that area, I could do a good job too because I motivated them with my enthusiasm,
good attitude and also many gummies! Ha-ha…But it worked!! He-he
To finalized, it comes from my
heart this beautiful feeling of thankfulness with God and my family because
they helped me to have this opportunity and supported me in the “Ups and Downs”.
And I’m also thankful with my co-worker for her support and help as well as with my
tutors for their pieces of advice and patient and with you my commenters’
friends who have cheered me up with your positive comments, thanks for your
time. God bless you all, love ya. <3
Great Deysi!!! I share your thankfulness towards God & let me tell you that for me, your class was very active since you developep two TPR activities & you taught grammar; besides, having an active class doesn't actually mean to have your Ss running & playing all the time. You know what I mean, right?
ReplyDeleteYes July you are right, I got your point :) Thanks for your comment :)
DeleteWhat up Day-see "Bunches" haha..I see you developed a great class. You are pretty active and funny and that helped you a lot. Knowing the group, you knew you had to implement activities to set a good mood to the class, and you did it. You tried to vary the activities, and that is good for not stucking the clasi in a traditional way. As I told you before, you have to be careful when trying to make a class be dynamic. Not necessarily you have to play; however, in this class, I think it was a good idea to develop TPR activities as it contrasted with your grammar explanation. Good for you. Keep it up ok! Blessings!
