Well, I am done with the first class, and I can say
this was one of the worst class that I
have taught. First, because I felt like bored, and I wanted to be at home
sleeping, but anyways I had to be there teaching. Another thing is that the
students were bored as well, and it can be because I transmitted that feeling
to them. This day was not so good for me.
So, talking about the class the first thing that I did
is that I came up with a warm up activity. The topic was phrasal verbs. I put
some meanings of phrasal verbs on the board, and students had to explode some balloons,
and then, get the piece of paper that was inside the balloon, and put it in the
correct meaning.
After doing this, I checked if they did it in the
correct way. Then, I explained some sentences using those phrasal verbs. Then, I
brought a fill in the blank activity for they to put the phrasal verbs in the
correct sentences.
Then, I asked them to create two sentences and write
them on their notebooks. Then, I asked them to come to the front and write the
sentences on the board. Then, I checked and all of them were well done.
After doing this, I asked them to come to the front where
I had some phrasal verbs, and when they were there, I asked them to pick up a
phrasal verb and create a sentence using that phrasal verb.
So these were all the activities that I did with
intermediate students.
Something that I did not like is that I was bored, and
as I told you I felt the class very bored. I will try to do it better next time
because I think that I need to improve.
