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
Lisha i think you did it good because i was there so i could see how you work! cheer up, next time would be better!! :D
ReplyDeleteNice warm up. It is nice that you create your own activities...
ReplyDeleteKeep working...
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
