I already finished with my third class at the Intermediate English I and as always in every class, I learned many new things.
I started my class with a warm up activity that was very helpful for the students to review and remember the previous class with me; I gave to them in the last class a list of verbs that can be followed by gerunds, infinitives or both. We used a ball for the activity and every time a student throw the ball they were saying any of the verbs they remember about the list I gave to them. To start the class the activity was very fun and that help them to start the practice about the same topic with a little bit more of motivation.
In the second activity, I worked in a listening practice that it was assigned and created in the lesson plan but I faced the problem that not all the students have the book, so I made them to work in groups and in that way everyone has access to the listening practice. I had some problems because I did not have the book and also I did not hear the track first so the practice was a little improvised. The teacher let me know about this situation in the feedback, so I am sure it would never happened to me again jiji.
For the third activity, I brought to the class a reading practice in which they need to fill in the blanks the information missing and then all the class participated in the reading as well one by one.
For the last activity, I encouraged my students to work as a group again and for this time they have to comment some of the differences between women and men at the time of doing some activities such us: buying, watching TV etc.
Gallina! So our warm up was really useful for your teaching practice!!! :D NICE!!!
