Today was my second class in the advanced class. As always I was so nervous.I don`t know if it was the weather or what but I was sweating a lot!! I started the class with a warm up that I was not ure if it was going to go well.Since I had to paste the students name on their chest in order to memorize their names. I took advantage of that and on the back part I pasted parts of sentences. The idea was that they mixed up and to get scrambled sentences. It was funny to heard some crazy sentences at the end they had to look for the other part of the sentence they had. It was funny and they enjoyed it a lot. So, I felt satisfied because I was wondering if the activity was going to go well. Than the hard part for me came. I had to teach the grammar part :-o I was so worry. I tried to read as much as possible about the topic but I was still feeeling insecure. Thanks God I did it. I tryied to relax and to go slow for them toundertand what I was saying. I`m pretty sure I forgot a lot of things I had prepared but at least I explained the most important things. Since I was explaining the grammar part I tryied to be asking the students if they were sure about the things I was writting. I did it in order to chanllenge them to think and to analyse if the things were correct or not. When I finished this part the controlled practice came. I could only develop one exercise because it was time consuming but with the development of the exercise I colud notice that everybody understood what I explained. I am satisfied for what I got in this class. It was really hard and despite all the sweating I did it :-)
Let`s see what next week brings. Good luck everybody!
