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
