Hello!

My first class in this period was in basic level again, but this time with teacher Hercilia de Salas.

Let me tell you that some of the students are shy, I understand them because is their first year at the university, so they feel kind of nervous when they have to speak.

They are studying the simple past and in the warm up activity I asked them to stand up and make a circle, I played some music and they had to dance, when the music stopped they had to get in partners, and the one that does not get a partner had to tell me some rules about the simple past. I explained to them about the verb to be in the simple past. I could see they got the explanation, at the end as a wrap up I did a dictation, using the simple past.

I felt comfortable, I consider that the practices have helped us a lot, and I have realized that every group has it special touch; the teacher liked the class, and I liked the feedbacks because I learned from it. I also feel comfortable with the grade as well!!!

I liked this class, however the students did not want to participate but I enjoy it!!

Thanks for your comments!! =)

Cheers! 

Hello!!

My last class with the basic group was on Thursday 4^th. Let me tell you that at first I did not like the class; I did not enjoy it like the previous I performed!!!!

Well in that group, the students always bring the copies of the appendices but unfortunately in my last class, none of them got the copies and when I realized that situation I felt nervous. But fortunately, my classmate, Mary, went to get the copies for all the students while I was doing the warm up activity.

The teacher told me that I took a lot of time on the grammar notes and that´s why I missed some activities at the end of my class, because the time was not enough for me.

The students were going to have a mini presentation that day and they were kind of nervous, some of them did not pay attention because they were studying for that activity.

At the end, I said goodbye and I told them that it had been my last class, I also thanked them for their participation, and I let them know that I liked working with them. I consider that my last class was not the best, but I learned many things that for sure I will put in practice in my next classes!!
