2nd teachPra

I taught my second class on Wednesday 30^th , this time I just had practice with the students; they are still working with modal so to start the class I divided the students into four groups, and gave each group an envelope containing some sentences, so they had to put the words in order. They did it very fast and then read the sentences out loud. To move on, I had some flashcards and gave one to each student, I asked them to come up with a sentence using the picture they had gotten and using modal verbs as well. Then, I had each student telling the sentence they had created. In the next activity; students worked with a photocopy, they had to fill in the blanks with the correct modal verb. We shared that as whole class.

In the end, I asked students to work in groups of four, and I told them; they were going to prepare a role play, I wrote some ideas on the board and they also had some ideas on their handouts about some situations. I helped them as necessary and after some minutes, they had to come to the front and performed it. I raffled the order so that nobody was complaining. They all participated and we had fun seeing their performance.

almost done!!

Ok guys this is our last period, we are almost out!! After a long period…

On my last practice I am working with intermediate students, I have already worked with them so I feel comfortable when I am in front of that class.

I taught my first class on Wednesday 23^rd, I got really early to the classroom and arranged the desks. As usual, I started with a warm up, this time I wanted students to speak, so I had a handkerchief and folded it, students had to pass it and if it fell down they had to answer a question. They really enjoyed that activity. I started unit 8, and it was about modals, as a presentation they had to read an article containing modals, they also had to answer some questions upon it. Then I asked some of them to stand up and come to the board to write the modals they found out in the paragraph. Likewise, I asked them for other modals they know. They helped me with that.  And I shared with students some rules about the usage of modals verbs. And I wrote some examples so that they noticed the cases in which they cannot use modals. After that I gave the list of modals. I wrote them from the strongest to the weakest. And  wrote a sentence using different modals to emphasize in the meaning when we use a different modal. I just introduced the topic so I did not have any practice.
