My Second Class
My second
class was on March 19 th
This time I was
not very nervous as the first time. I arrived to the classroom early and I had
the opportunity to have a little chat with some of my students. In this case I did
not have people who arrived late. So that helps me to start the class on time. In
this class I provided some practices for the related adverbs of frequency. To start
the class I asked the students to complete and write on the board some phrases
that I had, they must complete them using frequency adverbs. Then they had to
rewrite some sentences that were on the book using frequency adverbs. After they
finished we started to check if they were right.
They did it
very well; then they had to do a reading activity from the book, as in most of
the classes I had to provide or explain the meaning of some words from the
reading because they did not know them. I also had to explain the use of Do and Make. I felt very well because at the time that I made a practice
to see if they understood the use of Do
and Make; they complete the activity
with the correct use of those verbs. Students had to develop some activities
from the book they had to classify some words. I really enjoyed this class, but
of course there are always some students who do not participate in the class. But
one of the things that I did was to ask them for a number and then I searched in
the list that the teacher has for the name that belongs to that number, I think
it´s better than pointing at someone.
Hello Connie, i know sometimes students do not want to participate but you have to encourage and envolve them as much as you can because everybody is part of the class, so they must cooperate with you. It is cool to realize that you students enjoy what you do, and i see they liked your class, congrats girl!!!
ResponderEliminarHello connie!!...
ResponderEliminarI guess we will always have that student that won't share something inmediately; maybe not because he/she doesn't know, but because that's the way some students learn.
You have to keep an eye on them and see what are they doing, so they are not left behind.
Hi!
ResponderEliminarTo get early to the classroom is really good because you have time to chat with the students and this creates confidence between you and the students! And also shows up your responsability! I agree with you with the issue about pointing students......I feel bad for being pointed! And some ss don't participate because they maybe don't have that confidence to rise their hands or so on....you have to "push" them to "jump." They will do it! Nice class!
