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
