4th class!!

This was my last class of the first period, I was not nervous as the previous classes and I felt enthusiasm to teach. For me, this was a nice class because almost everything was as I expected, and I felt that the students were enjoying the class. I started with a warm-up in which each student had to think about a famous person they liked or admired because they was going to be that person in that moment and the rest of the class had to guess the name of the famous. Then, I continued with the class, and I presented a song which was kind of old and at the beginning I thought it may be boring for them, but actually I noticed that they liked the song. I prepared an activity for the students to order the sentences of the song while they were listening to it, and they did it perfectly; then, some of them were singing the song. The moment that was kind of bad, was when I asked them to make predictions about the song because they did not have too much ideas about it, so I think for next class, I should bring pictures or more activities to do for that moment. And as almost all the classes, I had to teach grammar, but in this class it was just a little part of it. I felt good because I could explain and answer all the questions students asked me. Then I presented some pictures about famous people and I asked them if they knew something about them. Finally, I asked them to do a matching activity that was in the book, and they did it really fast in less than one minute. I was happy because they had understood the topic.

What I really like is that I’m learning how to be a teacher because I remember that a teacher told us once “leave your troubles at home and be a new person in the class”, I’m saying this because I had some personal problems that affected my feelings before teaching, but I tried to give my best in the class and believe me that I forget them during I was teaching, and I think I did a good job. I will try to keep this in mind because I know that it will help me a lot. =)
