Basic level (Last class)


Today ( May, 20th) I had my last class with this group. I started the class with a warm up in which the teacher starts by saying; for example, “I went to the market and I bought some fish”, then, the students have to continue this by saying something similar, but using another word related with food, this game was for them to practice the vocabulary about food and introduce the topic “countable and uncountable nouns”. Then, I explained the topic, besides explaining the countable and uncountable nouns, I explained the use of “some and any”, unfortunately I had to improvise, because I had some problems with technology. After that, I gave the students a sheet of paper that contained a list of vocabulary about food and they had to write if they were countable or uncountable, they had some problems with some words, but they did it very well, because as the teacher told me, they already knew about the topic. In the next activity they imagined that they were going to go to a picnic the next day, so they needed to prepare a shopping list for going to the market, I gave them some minutes for them to write the list, then 3 volunteers shared what they had written and believe me that they did a great job. The last activity was a race board, I asked them to make two groups (A and B) and then they made two lines in front of the whiteboard, group A had to write uncountable nouns and group B the countable ones, they started to write and had fun, after some minutes I said “stop!” and checked what they had wrote, I felt glad, because the only mistake that one of the group had was a repetition of a word.
I am happy for having finished this experience, It was very nice for me to learn in this way; I learned from every tutor I had, and also from my co worker.  I had good and bad moments and every time was a lesson for me. I hope you have enjoyed these practices my friends. Thank you for your comments!! May God bless you all!!!

  2. Hy Almix, i know that´s a big issue when using technology sometimes, it might not work as you had planned. That´s why next time you must have a second plan just in case the tools do not work propertly!!
    But you did not stuck and continue with the class so that was great; you were able to deal with that situation, i am sure you did a great job.

    Congrats teacher!!! keep working hard;)
    Blessings...
