Today was my third class in the intermediate group. I started the class pasting on the board the objective and writting the date. Then I greet the students but in this time I forgot to read the objective and realized about too late. I continued doing the warm up activity which was really good because it made the students to participate by talking to each other. That day I had to teach the grammar part and I made a big mistake because the explanation it consisted on some rules. Each rule had only 2 examples per each. I thougth it was enough for them to understan but as soon I was teaching it I realized that they were having doubts and I dind`t have more examples. I was nos able of inventing the examples rigth in the moment so I just move on but I noticed that they were having doubts about the first rule. Later I continued explaining and some of them seemed to understand what I was explaining. When the practice came I could notice that some of them were asking the same things again like if I didn`t explain anything. Some of them were paying attention when I was explaining but some others were talking to each other and in spanish which is worst. I tryied to tell them not to speak spanish but I think they don`t care too much about what I said, I know that something must be wrong in the way I`m teaching them because I don`t get their attention as I wish. I know it is not their fault because I should have used some other method to get their attention but I think I did my best. I did everything I could for them to understand the things but I don`t know what happened. At the end of the class I was as frustrated as them. I hope next class will be better I`m tring to take in consideration the advices I recived from the feedback

Today it was my second class in the intermediate group. The class started 5 minutes late from what I was supposed to start because the students didn`t arrived on time. I was on time also the teacher and just one students shown up.The teacher told me we had to wait some minutes for the rest of the class. I could see that when I recieved my feedback the teacher took note of the time I started and the time I finished. He highlight that I finished when 2 minutes were missing for he class to finish. I didn`t know if I should continue but two minutes were not enough for any other activity. I don`t kno what is correct: To still more time from the teacher`s class or what I did but I think the teacher didn`t like it.
The class in general was good the students were participating in the warm up but I still have problems with them because they love to speak spanish. Another problem I have faced is that they do not understand things so fast I have to repeat it many times. I don`t know if it is that they do not pay enough attention or that they really do not understand full English. When the other activities came some of them were very happy and enthusiactic participating but some others were talking to each other. I think that maybe they didn`t understand what they were suppused to do and they were asking their classmates. When I recieved my feedback the teacher said that I should be more enthusiastic ith the students that my attitude is not so good. I dont know what to think because I think m been kind and friendly with them. I will continue working on that because something maybe wrong in my attitude. I hope next class will be better because I`m trying to improve all the things and to apply the advices I recieved from the teacher.

Today was my first class in Intermediate English group.I recieved what I was supposed to teach some days before. I saw that I had to teach the grammar part. I was not so worry about it because for me the topic was easy. I t was past progressive :-). I read as I much as I could about it and I also studied the grammar notes that the teacher provided me on the lesson plan. Since it was the first class with this group I was nervous as always. I started the class with a warm up acording to the past progressive theme but I dont know what happened that the students were not doing the things as they were supposed to. I was wondering what was going on. I didn`t know if it was that I didn`t explain correectly or they didn`t understand english so well.
They finished the activity but I was not satisfied with it and at the end when I recieved the feedback the teacher told me that I didn`t make sure they had understood, so I realised it was MY mistake. I continued with the rest of the class and it flowed so natural that I felt happy. There`s only one difficult thing and it is that the students love tospeak spanish. It is a big problem I tried to make them to speak english but they seem like if they do not care about it. Im getting ready for next class to try new things to help them to forget spanish at all. I hope I will do better because now I know which my mistakes are and I will try to improve them.
