Well, I’m back!!!! =)


I taught yesterday and I have to say that I felt really good to see that now my tutor teacher appreciated my effort and what I did.
I arrived early as always, and I prepared the material for the class. I began with a warm up which was really nice and it was the “Hot Can.” I asked the students to stand up and make a circle. then, I told them that they had to pass the can around while the music was playing. When I stopped the music, the person who got the can opened it and picked up a paper and read it. Inside the can, there were tongue twisters, and questions. They enjoyed the tongue twisters and even the teacher enjoyed hearing the students saying them.
After that, I began talking about movies, and I pasted some names of movies on the board and I asked the students if they liked or if they had watched those movies. We had some speaking time and after that, I asked them to work in pairs and give opinions about those movies. After some minutes, I began asking some pairs to share what they were talking and they did it. All the pairs participated in that activity.
Then, I began asking about something else like if they liked sports, or if they had had an embarrassed moment in their lives. Some of them shared their experiences. Then, I gave to each student a piece of paper with contained some questions and they had to talk about them with the partner. After some minutes, I began asking some students to share their answers, and they did it.
The last activity I did consisted on giving a piece of paper to each student. I pasted four pictures on the board and I asked them to write or invent a short story according to one of the four pictures. Then, my time was off and the teacher continued with the activity. =)
In the feedback, the teacher told me that my activities were really nice and I did a good job. The class was really nice. Also, I had some mistakes when I was talking but the teacher told me that all of us make mistakes. =) and I got a good grade! Finally!!!!!!! =)
