On Friday 13th I taught my first class. We
are working with an advanced group this time.
So, to start my class I introduced myself and asked
students the way they felt as they were going to have impromptu speeches. I did
a warm up activity in order to review the previous classes as they had been studying
“Conditionals” I brought the famous song if I were a boy, I played it just once
and asked students to pay attention to the conditionals they could find in the
lyrics. Then, I wrote these two questions on the board: What would you do if
you were a boy/ girl? And if you were an animal, what animal would you be? Why?
I gave them one minute to discus with a partner and then we shared.
To move on, I brought a new word to students and I also asked them to come up with a sentence using the new word. Next I just asked students about the usage of future progressive and future perfect as I was to give only practice about the new topic (Future progressive and perfect) I. brought a chart in which I had written some sentences and questions regarding with future progressive and future perfect so students had to choose either to use progressive or perfect, I asked for volunteers to come to the front and fill in the blanks. And then we analyzed the answers as a class. After that, I asked them to work in their books, and then we checked the answers.
As a final task, students had to write five questions using future perfect, for example, what will you have done by 2014? After writing those questions they had to mingle and ask those questions to their classmates. They reported the answers and my class was over. I did not face any bad situation this time thank God. So it wasn’t a perfect class but everything went smoothly.

ReplyDeleteNice class,Mary my dear. Music makes the students feel a little bit relaxed and the following activities may have more acceptance. Also, asking them those questions was quite beneficial for you had a lot of opinions and they felt free to speak . Ss really love this because it´s like a competition that gives them the chance of demostrating what they have learned.Besides, you covered three skills and that is very important.
