Intermediate I

Hello guys!! This is my last class with this group and I liked it. I started by greeting them as every class, and then we played “The hot seat” , I divided them into two groups and each group had to choose someone who had to be sitting in front of them to guess a word that the teacher had written on the board. The others had to mimic for the person to guess it. I used words like ghost, scary story, dark, monsters, etc. After that, they had a listening in which two persons were talking about scary stories, and they liked it, they worked in pairs; one of them answered the first part and the other one the other part, it was nice because they had a listening quiz after my class. Then, they worked in groups of 5 and I gave them a sheet of paper with a scary story, they had to read it and create a new one using the target structure (past simple and past continuous) and although we did not have enough time, they did their best and created the scary stories practicing the target structure.

Thank God I finished the practices of the first period and I know that we all have learned and improved a lot. Thank you, for your comments and suggestions guys, blessings!!!

Intermediate I

I had my class on Monday 12^th and I started by greeting the students. Then,  I developed the warm up activity which consisted on a game known by them,  I called it “the hanged man” and the words I used was the verbs, but in the past tense, they had fun, but I realized that they do not know the past of some verbs. The topic was “Simple past and Past continuous”; after the warm up, I explained the grammar point and I felt very nice, because I was not nervous and the students understood the topic. The next activity was the controlled one and I gave them a sheet of paper that contained 3 exercises, in which they practiced the simple past, the past continuous and in the third one they practiced the use of both and thank God they did it very well. I could not continue because of the time, but I felt fine because I know they understood the topic.

I felt more comfortable in this class, because I knew the students a little bit and it helped me to prepare the class. I hope to read your comments; it will be a pleasure for me, believe me that your pieces of advice are important and I learn a lot from them. Thank you a lot, blessings!
