Third class, cicle II, Teaching P.

Today, I taught my last class with advanced students. It was something that I had never taught or let’s say doing and all over the classes that I have taught, but that never came today. In this class I made a dictation practice now, I am going to tell you what I did.

The first thing that I did is a warm up activity which was to brainstorm the topic of the dictation practice that they were going to write in their notebooks. Well, it was nice because they started to say words related to that word. Then, I came out with the dictation practice.  This was the thing that I had to teach today. The first thing that I did is that I read the article first, and then, I asked them to write it in their notebooks. When they finished writing the article I gave them the page for they to check spelling.

Then, I asked for new words, and they told me the words that they had. I gave them meanings, and they got it in a very nice way.

After doing this, I gave them an activity in which they had to create questions following the answer that I gave them below. They had ten minutes to do it, but they did not finish, and I could not check what they did because time was over, and they had activity to do. So the teacher told me to let them doing it at home.

Something that I did not like in today`s class is that my tonged was twisted, and there was a moment in which I felt frustrated because I could not say a word. I hope it never happens again.

Something that I really liked in this class was the students’ participation and feelings. I must say that they were happier than never.
