My first class with the intermediate I (=

As any first time  knowing a group in the first class, I started a little bit nervous but as soon as the students arrived into the class  I was feeling better because I remember that those were the same students with  I was with the last semester in my practice.
I started my class by letting the students know about the purpose of the class and by telling them what I was expecting to achieve in that hour.
I love the way the students were trying to particpate in the class and also what comfortable they made me feel during the time that I was there.
I started my class reviewing about the topic that I was assigned; I got some problems to get information about the the topic which was Rejoinders because the lesson plan was not ready so I had to look for the material. I prepared for my class like around 4 activities which were nice.
After I got the feedback, I realized that I was not that prepare as I am supposed to be because the warm up activity was just a review of the topic and it was not really funny so I saw the students a little  bit sad, tired or bored. The teacher told me that I should always prepare a game for the first moment of the class because the students need to relax before starting the class. It perfectly knew about the importance of a warm up activity in every class but I got confused because the last time the same teacher told me that I should not be just playing in the class, and that the warm up activity should be completely depending on the topic to be teach.
I felt sad after knowing that because the last time I was teaching with him I played too much and today the class was not really dynamic jajajajjaja .... )= Too bad for me
I know that the next class can be better, I am really expecting to finally have a lesson plan for the level and have the information on what I have to teach in advance because it is really hard to prepare classes when you dont have the material........

  1. Hi Saraí let me tell you that almost the same thing happened to me because I could not meet my tutor teacher in advance, so I had to call him in order to know what I was suppose to teach; I know it is difficult to work in that situation, but I congratulate you because you did not gave up, and did your best performance. I know that sometimes it is difficult to please your tutor teacher, but at the end just worry about the work you do...

  2. Saraí,

    I know you feel a little sad, but I really think that you can improve a lot with your practicum. I know it can be confusing when the teacher tell you one thing and then another, but be patient and whenever yu have any doubt, you can sk the teacher for clarification.
