Fourth Teaching Practicum

FOURTH TEACHING CLASS!

In this class Alex and I taught about "Professions" and the skill was reading. The experience were different comparing with previos classes.

When we get into the classroom all the kids were very restless. Alex and I were nervous because we thought that they were not going to handle. But then we could control them. I started with the class, and in the warm up I made a game to review the topic they had alredy known. I use a "kill Flies" and I wrote different professions on the board. i made two groups one by one was passing, I mentioned a profession and they have to hit the word that was on the board. I made this activity to review the topic.

The second stage was the pre- reading. In this stage I present the vocabulary some of then were new. I practice the vocabulary as many times as necessary, so they can have clear the different professions. After presenting that I made an activity to see if they get the vocabulary. This activity was with two puzzles. I made two groups and they had to fixed the pazzle and after they finished they had to meentioned the name of the profession they had.

Then I continued with the next stage that was During- Reading. In this stage I present the mini story that was called " Professions of my family". I read the story many times, so they can have clear what the story was about. They I gave to kids the story in a sheet of paper. And I gave to them two different topics. So they could recognize the differente vocabulary. They did understood what the story was about.

I was proud of myself because they always understood the class when my partner Alex and I taught to them. I always tried to give the best when I'm teaching. Is something that I really like and for the reason I tried to prepared in a good way the activities and all the class. New experiences are coming and we always learned something new. 

It is good to have the opinion of  somebody else so we can correct the mistakes the we are doing.
