Second Teaching (Third period)

Describe I notice that students were very talkative. They really like to speak, but they do it in Spanish almost all the time. something that I understand because they are starting the major yet. They were ready to start a new class. The environment was really good because the students are very friendly I felt that they helped me a lot. I used the horse-shoe style for the classroom is very big, and I have space to move around the class. I used 3 charts. One of them was used to give grammar explanation. The other was used to show them subject pronouns and object pronouns and the last one was used as a big board game.

I felt a little bit nervous because of the grammar explanation, I prepared myself for this second class, and I prepared good activities. I didn't give grammar since the second class of the second period in intermediate II. I think that is why I felt a little bit nervous. I felt satisfaction when all of them could do the practices. They gave me great answers. I think the response that students give in the class is very important because most of the time you can notice if you did a good job. If they look like they don't know you notice it, but if you see that they are very focus and working in the exercise, you know that you did a great job. Student need to practice.Therefore, they have to practice what is new for them. In that way, they will have new vocabulary when they speak and write.	Based on what I already know about variety of activities, I think it's very essencial since students can practice in different ways. If a teacher just focus in doing controlled practices students will be bored easily. Based on what I observed, I think students generally got my explanation. I could see that their answers were the ones that I was expecting, and I felt very happy for that. They were focus in the activities, and they did it in a really nice way. I believe that variety of activities can help student learning because as I wrote before, if they are just sitting and writting, they get bored easily. However, if they do an interactive activity, they enjoy what they are doing.	So, in the future, I will explain the grammar part step by step. In future lessons I will present any topic with colorful charts. That calls students attention. colorful charts can help you  in order to keep students interest. The next time I teach this lesson, I will do  more kinesthetic activities. They love being busy moving around the classroom. In future experiences I will also include games in which they can learn and have fun at the same time.
