2nd. teaching (Intermediate I level)

 Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

In this class I began my teaching with a new topic related to some modals. First of all, I greeted the students and talked a little bit with them. Next, I developed a warm up activity in which the learners had to take some pieces of paper containing some parts of sentences about the use of the modals I had to introduce. After that, the learners had to stand up and look for the other parts of the sentences. Then, I introduced the modals by writing a chart on the board to comparing the modals have to, could, should and must. Subsequently, I explained the use and the differences of them, and asked the students to write an example on the board using each of the modals I formerly introduced. I felt glad because they did it correctly and were  really collaborative with me. 

In my next activity I asked the learners to make a circle; then, I started the game by saying I sentence related to somenthing I could do when I was a child so that the students could follow the activity by saying my sentence, and a sentence of their own. Thereafter, I asked them to form groups to give them some pictures about different city places in order to write rules, prohibitions and recommendations  according to the place they had in the pictures. After they finished writing the rules, prohibitions and recommendations, they had to read them aloud and the other students had to guess the place they were talking about. At the end, they had fun while learning how to use those modals!
