This was a nice class, even much better than the first one. I arrived into the classroom on time, but I had to wait some minutes for the teacher, and I was getting nervous, but then it disappeared because I prepared some good activities for the class, and I felt ready for teaching.
When the class started, I made a review of one of the topics that the students have already seen which was about the past participle. I felt that at the beginning all the students liked the activity, but almost at the end some of them did not want to participate. One of the issues was that they did not remember the verbs very well, and the other was that the activity took more time that the one I planned; I think for next time, I should take those issues into account in order to have better results.
Afterward, I let them change some sentences into negative in an orally form; I knew they liked this activity because their minds have to work more quickly. Besides, I gave them some envelops with sentences strips which some of them had questions and the other had answers. I noticed that the students had a good time getting the answers, and they were enjoying a lot at the same time that they were recognizing the different kind of sentences.
Moreover, I made an activity in which they had to write the answers on the board. I felt happy when my tutor told me that writing on the board was a nice idea for them to practice and for me to check if the answers were correct.
I felt very comfortable with this group because they were very nice with me, and we have a good connection; moreover, my tutor was very nice with me, and she was always trying to help me to improve my abilities and to know my errors in a good way.
