Class 1. First day!

Saturday, september 3, 2016.

Today was my first day in teaching practicum to adolescents and it was an excellent experience. I am with the plaza mundo program which is also placed at Don Bosco University and teenagers ages are around 15 to 17, they are starting to lear English but you can see their efford to learn. Moreover, my mentor teacher is Jasmin Gomez who is an extraordinary teacher and very loved by her students.

To start, students were  asked to stand up and make a circle where they were asked with the question "How do you feel today?" and they needed to answer with 3 moods (angry -_-, fine :), sad :( ). In my opinion, this activity was very useful to untroduce the new topic, since they were adjectives too.

The, some adjectives were introduced and students pasted on the board the images with the corresponding adjective. (Lonely, extreme, lucky, good, nauthy, cute, upset, scary, ashame, and nervous). Also, they solved the vocabulary excersises on their books.

Moreover, students were asked to make three lines and to pass a piece of paper in which they needed to wrire letter by letter until complete the sentences with an adjective that he teacher dictated. For me this was an innovative activity because students can work together without mess up, and to practice spelling.

Also, students listened to an audio in order to answer some questions in a worksheet. Furthermore, students got in pairs and were provided with a place and they had to perfom a role play with the differents feelings that are present in those places.

To conclude, I was asked to provide instructions about a worksheet realted to the topic past form of the verb "Be". Then, students went to the other classroom to asked questions about activities students did during the week to then write an small paragraph about it.
