Intermediate I

I had my class the last Monday and I enjoyed it a lot, because the students were very active and participative. I began the class with a warm up activity that was also the presentation of the topic; I made a chart with the name of the topic (Phrasal verbs) and prepared some numbers made with foamy to cover the topic. I wrote some questions using the common phrasal verbs like “When do you usually get up?” so they chose one number and I asked them the question with that number, at the end they saw the topic and I started with the grammar explanation. I gave a list of 12 phrasal verbs and I worked just with those ones; after the explanation I gave them two sheets of paper with the controlled practice and they did a good job. After that, I pasted some phrasal verbs around the classroom and I asked them to make two groups to make a competition; I said the meaning of the pv and they had to run and get the correct pv, they had fun with this activity and I could see how much they had understood the topic. At the end, I asked them to make one sentence using a pv, then they were going to pass in front to the class and read his/ her sentence, but saying “jigglypuff” instead of the pv, so that the others could guess the pv, this activity was to see if they could use the target structure, and they did a great job and had fun.
 Thank God I am learning a lot with the practices. When I received the feedback I realized that I have improved a lot, and it made feel proud of myself, because it is nice when you see the results of your effort.
Thank you for your comments my friends, blessings!!

  1. Great class! I taught phrasal verbs last week lol. Well, to start, you had a very nice warm-up using those numbers. Also, it was good to work with only those ones becuase otherwise, they would have gotten confused. Your activity was very nice, and when you see that students are participative, you feel glad becuase you know it will be a very good class. Obviously, you have improved so much, and you must be proud of yourself! This is a great experience, and you are taking advantage of it :). Keep up with the good work.

  4. Wow Alma, Congrats! You could have not improved more. I see that the variation of activities was fantastic. I think that your students really enjoyed the class and, as you said, had fun; the most important thing is that I consider it was meaningful for your students. I really liked the warm up. It was clever, creative and attractive. Great way to close the second period. Go ahead for the third one teacher Alma! nicely done!! Blessings!
