FIRST CLASS, INTERMEDIATE I (LAST PERIOD)

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

In this class I started my last period in my teaching practicum. As it is normal, I felt   kind of anxious because of the new students I had to meet; nevertheless, it was a nice class. First of all, I began greeting the students and talking with them about the end of the semester, about Christmas, and other things they have planned for the new year.

Then, I continued with a game related to Present Progressive with Future Meaning, in which I showed some pictures to the students so that they had to describe the pictures to their representatives that were at the front; after the representatives guessed the pictures, they had to say a sentence using Present Progressive with future meaning. Everybody had fun while learning and they enjoyed the game.

Next, I introduced the topic giving some examples about the structure regarding Present Progressive with future meaning. I like the fact that they were very participative when explaining the topic and that situation helped me to give a better explanation about the content. After that, I gave the students some fill in the blank exercises in which they had to write the correct form of the verbs given.

Subsequently, I asked the learners to form 3 lines so that they could classify some leisure activities I had written on the board. Everybody did it well and learned new vocabulary related to the activities. Next, I finished my class with some role plays in which the learners had to present short dialogues according to the leisure activities they had classified previously. At the end I was glad because they were very collaborative and participative during the whole class!
