My last class of the second period!

Hi. This week was my last class in Intermediate English l. For this class I prepared a power point presentation. The topic was "comparatives and superlatives" but I already had explained the grammar notes, this class was only practice. I arrived early to the university in order to connect the projector and checked the presentation, and i did it and everything was OK! because I prepared a video in order to review the grammar. After that I arranged the classroom. , and check and prepared the material and organized the desks in a semi circle. The class started and I greeted the students. We read the objective of the class and as a warm up I prepared an "adjective race" we developed this activity outside the classroom in the hall. I divided the class in two teams; I called out " the comparative form of happy" and students ran and write the correct form. After that we came back to the classroom and we did a review of the grammar notes about the topic. we read the concepts again and we watched a video. I had already checked the video and it was perfect, but in the moment that I presented the video; I do not know what happened but we only watched half of the video because the video got stuck :'( I continue with the practice and we developed 4 exercises. First I read the first part of a sentence and they had the second part pasted on the desk. The second exercise was about complete the sentences with the correct adjective. The third exercise we compared two pictures.

                                        
We wrote sentences about he pictures of the left. Example:
The smoke coming from the chimney is__________(small, big). 
The last exercise was a mini debate. one time support countryside and the other one the city. This activity was really nice because everybody participated and all the students share their thoughts. At the end I thanked the students and I gave some advices to the students such as: speak English all the time, study a lot. and I told them that they are a nice group and that I learned a lot with them.
