second time teaching in this period...!


I taught yesterday. I think I did better than the first time. Well, I began with a warm-up which I made a little modification and I called it “hot can”… I got a small can and inside the can there were small pieces of paper that contained questions, penalties, and tongue twisters. The students were in semi-circle and I gave the can to one student. I told them that they had to pass the can while some music was playing. And when I stopped the music, the students stopped passing the can. The person who got the can had to open it and picked up a paper and read what it said. They were passing the can several times and they had fun with that activity. Also, with that activity they were practicing the different tenses that they have been studying during the week.
After that, I gave some examples of the tenses and I wrote them on the board. There were affirmative sentences and those sentences were transformed into questions. After that, I asked the students to work on some controlled exercises. They were working and I was monitoring they work. Then, I did a listening activity that was on the book. And at the end, they were working on the listening and working in pairs.
The feedback was ok. The teacher told me that I had some mistakes but that I corrected them. I think that I did better and I hope so!!!!!! =S

  3. Nice Warm Up Lisha. It is very important that we monitor our students' work; that way we can help them in a more personalized way. When we do things well we can feel it. I know you did it great.

  4. I like the warm-up activity because that demonstrates that you are a teacher capable of modifying the activities a according to your students´necessities. Obviously, you took the idea from the "hot potato" activity, but your improvement of it it´s excellent. I know that your performance was pretty good, so do not pay attention to what other people say about it.. you are an excellent teacher, and if someone say the opposite it´s because they are jealous hehehe Keep working... byeee
