Describe
When I entered to the classroom, I saw that some students were a little bit tired, and some of them were decorating a magazine. I started the class when I made the warm up activity, I saw some of them that were happy of going out. I had to make a review of the previous classes. I asked them to form a circle and play the hot potato, and in the penalty, they had to tell me one sentence using might, must or will be able to. I really like the enviroment in Englsh Access because I could realize in these classes that they really like to learn. The classroom was in the horse shoe style for the space. In the controlled activity I used a worksheet in which they had to fill in the blanks writing "be able to" and the modal "might." In the second activity, I used some flashcards. They had to write suggestions using the modal "must". Finally, I gave them a paper which contained some diseases. They stood up, and talk with their classmates about those topics.

I could realize that when I have a lot of students, I have to do different kinds of activities in order to make the class enjoyable. Moreover, try to make them participate in all the activities.
In order to involve all the students, teachers have to make pairs o groups in order to make all the students participate.
Sometimes, when teachers make students to work alone, the majority of them want to participate, and some of them are not able to do it. Group work is something important to involve all of them.
This helps them to socialize with other classmates, and not being out of the activities.

Based on what I already know about modals, I think that some students could be a little bit confused since some of these modals mean the same thing or are very similar.
Based on what I observed, I think students got the differences and the meaning of these modals. They were working in the correct way, they really were interested in doing their exercises correctly.
I believe that speaking activities and some exercises help the students to use their new vocabulary.This helps them not being so focus on grammar because they may feel stressed

So, in the future, I will make them to work in groups in order to involve every student in the activities.
In future lessons, I will be more creative and enthusiastic in order to make them feel more comfortable. Also, I will give them the instructions step by step.
The next time I teach this lesson, I will give them a reading because I could notice that they like to speak and share what they know, and share their own experiences.
In future experiences, I will also include extra activities because in my last class, I was worried since I had a few of them.
