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 23rd, 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.
