Hello today was my second class with advanced I. I felt a little bit nervous, because the teacher pays attention to any detail in the class. Let me tell you that it was difficult for me to think in a warm up activity for the students because the teacher told me: “you should do this, or you should do that” and I couldn’t think and find the warm up that he want me to perform, so at the end I performed the “hot potato”.  And you already know what this game consists of.

In the presentation, the Ss work in their books, and then they saw a nice video that was named “never give up” I did a PDP and they participated a lot, I liked the way they gave their ideas about the video and their personal experience. But before that, I explained some minutes about grammar, since they were studying Phrasal verbs, a student asked me about Transitive and Intransitive phrasal verbs, so I explained to them. I liked this, because it made me go back and study more about this topic, so I learned as well.
I liked my class and felt comfortable but the teacher told me that I did not look sure, and that I explained to much grammar. I felt sad because I liked my class, I know that in some moments I made some mistakes and I’m conscious about that. Next time hopefully I can teach better as he wishes!


Thanks for your comments! God bless you!!!!

  1. Hello Maggy,
    Well, it must be difficult to have a demanding tutor like yours because you are more pendent of pleasing him with your lesson and during the class than developing activities you consider right for that especific group of ss. In my opinión, you should listen to your tutor's pieces of advice as you should also listen to yourself by doing what you consider is right; otherwise, you'd be limiting your creativity and inhibiting your style. Don't be afraid to show what you have girl ;) :)
