I had my last class with
English Access yesterday. I was nervous, because I had to explain the
relative pronouns and I
remember that it was a little hard for me when I studied it some time ago. I
started with the warm up activity, I asked the students to stand up and make a
circle, then they walked around me and I asked to make groups saying something
like ¨people who are wearing the same color shoes make groups!!¨. This
activity was to introduce the relative pronouns. After that, in the grammar
part I explained to them the use of relative p. and I gave them some examples,
as well. Then I gave them two writing practices to see if they had understood
the topic, at the end in the wrap up, we
played “the hot potato” playing some music, the person who keep the potato had
to describe him/herself using the relative pronoun; for example: I am a person
who likes to help others.
A thing I love is the
feedback, because you know your mistakes and learn from them, and also because
the tutor gives you some pieces of advice. It is nice to know that they share
with you part of their experience. I really liked the group I had; the teens
are really kind and participative. Now I am eager to know what group will be
the next one, and anxious to learn more.
hello Almix! It's pretty cool to read this kind of blogs. I can see you're eager and willing to keep improving. It seems you developed your class in a very interactive way. When the group is participative and collaborative, you and your students enjoy the class; you varied the activities.Thus, the session becomes a meaningful experience. I bet you did not feel the time. A truly fine effort Almix!
ResponderEliminarHi Almita!! Unfortunaly we finish with the first group.. i would like to keep working with my first group, as you want too. I now that teens are eager to know and participate in class. I like the activities you used with them, because they were very creative. Congratulations Almita.
ResponderEliminarHello Dear Alma! I think you feel nice because you made a good job teaching your students, and as you know we feel sad after to leave a group, but as you said you are so eager to know which group you will teach before.
ResponderEliminarI consider that there are some topics that we feel so difficult to teach. I had that experience in my first class because I had to teach "Fractions", and it is a vocabulary that we do not use commonly, so you sometimes forget it. However, what I can suggest you is to try to review the topic as much as possible, and you should make some exercises to practice because your students always ask about it.
CONGRATULATIONS ALMA! YOU DID A NICE JOB!!!
Hello Alma!
ResponderEliminarIt is really good to know that you enjoyed your time teaching. I encourage you to keep that attitude and to keep on working to be a better teacher every day.
hello Almita!!!...I love the the way you plan this class.
ResponderEliminarAs I was reading I started imagine how would I taught that topic, and reading your blog I found you had pretty nice ideas. Let me congratulate you because this kind of topics are sort of complex and the way you developed it was amazing. That is what the work of the teacher lies on, the way we facilitate students' knowledge.
Hello Almita, I really like every of the activities you developed during your last class. They are very interactive activities so I imagine your students spent a great time. Congrats!
ResponderEliminarHi Alma!!! Now that we are facing this experience of teaching at the university we had the challenge to teach some things that were difficult for us to learn. In my case I had to face the same situation because I had to teach grammar.
