Hello people! I had my first class of teaching
practicum ll. I am teaching in Advanced English l in the afternoon shift, and I
have around 14 students. I arrived to the classroom (B24) some minutes before to
start the class in order to prepare the environment, I arranged the desk in a
semi-circle, and I wrote the date and the agenda on the board, and I stuck
some papers on the desk to students write their names. I started the class with
a greeting and introducing me myself and asking the names of each student. The
first activity was the warm up and in my opinion it did not work in the way
that I planned it, so I resolved the activity on the board in order everyone
could see the answers. After that, I did a review of the grammar notes and the
topic was “Tag Questions”. I used a chart to do the review and the students
passed to the board to write the main points about tag questions. After the
review we did the controlled practiced. I had 15 sentences written in a chart without
the tag questions. The students wrote the sentences and the tag questions, we
checked the answers with the whole group. Finally I gave a piece of paper with
sentences to each student and one by one were reading the sentences and adding
the tag question and it was my first class. The feedback that I received was why
the warm up did not work in the way that I planned it? The teacher told me that
it was because I did not give them enough time to resolve the puzzle. He
corrected me some grammar mistakes and that’s it. I appreciate if you give some
pieces of advices in order to manage the time. Thank you to read my post. See you
next week.
