THIRD PRACTICE, SECOND PERIOD!!!

Well, this was my last practice. I was kind of happy because I was about to finish my second period and a little bit sad because I was not going to be with this group anymore.
I tried to be with a better attitude and prepared my class with many days of anticipation. so, I felt really prepared to give tis class.
The topic I had to teach this time was about " used to" I was asked to give more practice to the students becase the teacher had already explained this topic to them.
For the warm up I asked the students to make a circle with their desks and we played "change place if" the purpose of this activity was to make the students practice what they had already studied with the teacher about this topic. I started saying: Change place if you used to play with cars when you were a child, and all of them moved and looked for another desk and one of them couldn´t get any desk and got a penalty, he or she had to say a sentence and after that give another command for the students to move around again.
My first activity was a chart. I posted a chart on the board that contained some sentences with some missing words. I asked them to looked at the chart, read the sentences and tried to find the answers and write them down on their notebooks. After they finished it, I gave to some of the students a marker and they went to front and filled up the sentence they wanted, and after doing that I asked them to repeat them oout loud after me.
In eh second activity I gave the students a readng, they worked in pairs. They read a paragraph about " the way were" After reading that, they had to check some statements and write if they were right or wrong. All of them worked in a good way and practiced a lot.
In the third activity, I showed them some flash cards with some drawings of professions and occupations, and they had to give me a sentence using the drawings they were looking at, every student who gave me a sentence got a candy, in that way they were motivated to stand up and say the sentence as soon as they looked at the flshcard.
For the next activity I gave the students two mini flash cards each and they stood up and look for two different students and say one sentence to each of them using the mini flash cards.
To finish the class I gave the stdents a sheet of paper which contained some sentences in simple past and they had to paraphrase them usng "used to". I thought that it was going to be difficult for them but it wasn´t, they did it really fast and read them out loud,.
I think that this time I did a better job, I prepared my class on time, I tried to explain it better and monitored more my students.

SECOND ENTRY, SECOND PERIOD!!!

This time I had to teach about quantifers! It was more like a review because my classmate had already taught about this topic. At this time, I had met more my students, they had more confidence with me. I tried to look for better activities this time, my purpose was that they learn more about this topic and participate a lot.
To start the class I asked my students to work on my warm up that was "the broken telephone" I asked them to make two groups and choose a leader on each group, they did it so.
When they had their groups done, they made two lines in front of the whiteboard and I gave a message to the student on the back and each student had to whisper the message to the other one and so on, when the message got to the last student on the front, he or she had to write it on the board.
We had a lot of fun with that activity because the message written on the board was not the same I gave them. After we finished doing this activity, we checked all the messages on the board and I gave them the correct message,
After that, I posted a chart on the board with a matching activity, the students helped me to finish all the sentences, but the only problem I had with it, was that I filled it up with their help and I didn´t give much time for them to think about the answer r even to write the sentences on their notebooks, it was really fast that I realized I messed it up until the teacher gave me the feedback.
My second activity was about filling in the blanks. I gave them a sheet of paper with some sentences and the students will have to do it by tehmselves. After that I checked it and asked them to repeat all the sentences out loud.
The third activity was in pairs, the students had to describe their perfect place using all the quantifiers they had studied, they did it the way I asked and read it out loud in the class each pair.
In the last activity, I asked them to make a crcle and I read a conversaton in which there were some quantifiers. Every time they listened to one quantifier, they had to give one step ahead and give me an example usng the quantifier they had already lstened. Some of them did it but some others were a little bit shy to anwer in front of the others. This activity was not what I was expecting but the students enjoyed it anyways.
What I liked in this class was that eventhough there are some shy students, all of them worked a lot and did everything I asked them to do.
