Third Period



The Last Class of the Period


The class was on Thusrday 16th
 



In my last class I had to teach grammar. That day I was supposed to make practice about the topic ´´Passive Voice´´, but at the end I had to introduce the topic. As a warm up I had prepared some pieces of paper in which were written parts of sentences that students had to put them in order. So I divided the class in three groups and then I read the sentences, so they had to paste them on the board in right order. Some of these sentences were in active or passive voice. After that I explained the uses of the passive voice and the way we have to use in some of the tenses. What I tried to do was to provide examples which were easy for the students to understand. Some of the students knew about the topic and was easy for them to develop the other activities.


After I explained the grammar part I asked them to pass to the front and to take a piece of paper which had a verb and some words, they were asked to create a sentence with those words. So we all together checked those sentences.  Then I asked them to complete some sentences using the passive voice. After they completed the sentences they shared their answers with a classmate. Then I asked them to provide me those answers. I felt good because most of them did it good. As a last activity I wrote on the board some words and some verbs, but first I provided an example about how to create a sentence using those words.  This time I couldn’t have enough time to develop more activities because of the grammar explanation, but I really enjoyed this experience!!!
