Today was my 4th and last class in the advanced group. The day before the class the teacher assigned me what I was supposed to teach. I was worry because he told me that I had to teach the grammar notes. I was not happy with the idea but eventually when I heard that the topic was "reported speech" I felt reliefed because I knew some things about it so I just had to read something more. The teacher also suggested me some pages where I could read about it.
The class started with a warm up that I prepared but something happened. I was sure that the activity was not taking more than 5 minutes to be developed. Since it was like a discussion and students had the chance of giving opinions the activity last around 15 minutes. I felt good because they were participating and as I know the most they practice, the better it is.
Another unexpected situation appeared when I was supposed to check student`s homework but I discovered that they didn`t work on it. So, they took some minutes to work on the homework. Later, I check it.
I continued developing the rest of the previous activities before the grammar notes. When I was getting ready to get on the main topic I realized that the time was over. The teacher told me not to worry about it and to stop rigth there. So, I couldnt teach the grammar part in other case it would have been a relief but not this time because I was really prepared.
At the end I just say thank you to the students and the teacher and I left. This was a great experience I learned a lot by working with this group. I liked that they are not shy at all. They like to participate and to practice. It was nice working with this group I had many challenges during the time I was there but I learned many things and Im happy for that. I`m having good expectations for next period and the coming group I hope everything will be ok.

Today it was my third class. Things are getting better I feel that I have a better control of the class.I started my class by making a funny warm up. I wrotetwo words on the board and stududents made groups and take turns to write a word that started with the last letter of the word I wrote. I had an unexpected situation because the teacher asigned me to develop activities only for listening skill. I prepared everything but I also prepared two more exercises that where not based on listening. When the time of teaching came the teacher told me that he couldn`t get the CD so I had to completely change my lesson plan at the moment...I was so nervous because I didn`t know what I was going to do The teacher suggested me to work in some exercises from the book that didn`t need the CD. Since I had two more extra activities I didn`t have much problem with it and I developed my class. I was scared but at teh end everything was ok. I think it is a good idea to always be prepared for unexpected situations so we are not pushed to improvised, and if we do it not to invent things. We can not play with education and it is so bad to invent what you are going to teach at the rigth moment. At the end everything was good thanks God I have a lot of good expectations for next class because I`m learning from my own mistakes and trying not to make them again. good luck!!
