Hello!!

My second class in the basic group was on Thursday. The topic was not that difficult, it was about adverbs of frequency and I used Gustavo´s and George´s lesson plan.

As it was my second class, I felt more familiar with the ss since they are very friendly. Something that I realized is that they work better when the class is very active and motivated, so if in the last period you teach teacher Karina´s group you have to prepare many kinesthetic activities in order to have a nice class!

Well, first, as a warm up activity, I asked the students to stand up and make two groups in a row in front of the whiteboard. Then the first student had to write horizontally the first word that come to his/her mind; then, the second ss had to write vertically another word starting with the last letter of the previous word and so on. After that, for the presentation stage, I worked in the book; I used the handouts I mean the lesson plan for the grammar phase and the appendices for their practices. 

Again I really enjoyed the class. At the end as a wrap up activity I asked them to stand up and make a circle; then, I played some music and asked them to pass a funny diadem on their heads and when I stopped the music, the ss who got the diadem has to roll the dice which contained some adverbs of frequency so that the ss had to make a sentence putting in practice what they just had studied.

Indeed, I feel comfortable with the group, I like to work with them, and I learn in every class, I like the teacher´s suggestions and feedbacks too. Well, basically that´s all!! J
