Second Period

My Third Class

 My third class was on Monday 15 ^th

This time I felt more confident than the previous classes. As I always did I arrived early to the classroom, I had to prepare the classroom because I had some material to use. In the warm up activity I prepared a chart in which it has hidden some verbs in the base form and the past form, so I divided the class in two groups. They had to find the base form and past form. Even though they are in basic, they already know some of the verbs in past tense I could noticed that because at the time they found the two verbs I asked them if the verbs were right and answers were ok. This time they also were very participative as they did in the previous class. In this class I did not have problems with the students who always were speaking in Spanish, in this class they were speaking in English.

With this activity I tried to know how much they manage the topic. Because this time I had to teach grammar as the students are studying simple past, I taught regular and irregular verbs. I explain them some important points that they must know in order to use the simple past.  As I explained the basic rules to form the past tense I also provided some examples. I felt very well because after explained them the grammar part, I could check that they understood what I explained, I asked them to practice about past verbs.  Unfortunately as time passes too fast I did not have enough time to develop another kind of practice. 
To sum up I can say that it was a great experience and also a challenge because this basic course it was totally different from the previous group that was advanced ll and I know that more experiences are coming.
