My second teaching practice, Second Period!

Fortunately, my second teaching practice was gratifying; I noticed that I improved my teaching during this time. I began the class with a warm up activity in which they had so much fun, because it was dynamic, and especially, this group it was very active, even introverted students had fun and participate in the activity. If one student lost, he had to create a subjunctive mood sentence. Personally, I liked this activity because students had to think and say an example that other students didn´t say before, all the group participated. 

To continue, I gave them a worksheet that the teacher already told me. Before working in the worksheet, I gave them a few examples of subjunctive mood in order to introduce the next activity that consisted in writing an answer to each questions using subjunctive mood. After five minutes, I started to ask for the answers, I knew that there could be more than one option for the answers, and it was, some students had different answers, but the most important thing it was that the answers were correct.

Later, I asked them to make couples to talk about "Dealing with Stress" for some minutes; the teacher told me that they already knew about that topic because the students were going to talk about it in their impromptu speech, So I strongly believed that this activity could help them to improve in their speaking, fluency and to clarify ideas about it.

In addition, I asked the students to make trios and read an article from the book about "Dealing with Stress" and also, look for new vocabulary. I decided to make trios, despite sometimes could be wrong, because I asked them to read aloud one student for each paragraph in order to improve their pronunciation. Short time later, I asked the students if they had found new vocabulary, and some of them asked me for the meaning of some words, I answered them. Then, I asked some of them to read aloud in order to help them to feel less shy and improve their confidence at the moment to talk in front of the class, because I knew that they were going to had an impromptu speech with the teacher Walter.

To finish, students worked in an activity from the book in which they had to complete the information, using the subjunctive mood, for example if they had the beginning of the sentence, they had to complete with new information, something invented. Then, I asked some of them to give me they own examples based on the information in the book. Finally, I asked them to work in a worksheet that the teacher Walter asked me to do, in which they had to complete, order o create subjunctive mood sentences. However, I couldn´t review it, the teacher told me that my teaching time was exact and that I didn´t have to worry about review, because that activity was an extra just in the case to  need to cover any space, so, he was going to review it the next class because it was the homework. Briefly, in the feedback, the teacher Walter told me that I really did a better job this time, obviously, the developing of the class was much better and he advised me to continue like that. I had never thought that I could achieve it, no because getting better grades, but for improving in my teaching.
