October 12th, the second group of the day.
This is a special class because my folks are the teachers yeees.
And these are EXCLUSIVE shots behind cameras.
The first activity was a warm-up activity where everyone was asked to stand up, remember and repeat the routine of the person next to them, then say their own routine and basically create a chain of activities. I may say, these students have such a good memory! I could never haha.
FIRST TOPIC: SIMPLE PRESENT
They start to explain the topic with the base form of this verbal tense. Then, the teacher (Maru) explained the affirmative way, the negative way, and how to elaborate questions in this verbal tense.
What I liked a lot, once again, is that the teacher (Maru) took the time to explain in both languages the main keys for understanding the topic, yet she kept in her role of being the English teacher. Also, alongside the slides, they wrote a chart on the whiteboard where students could see the structure of a sentence in different ways.
PRACTICE TIME
Damaris leads this practice section. Teachers used an online platform to create a quiz. In this quiz, students choose the right option to complement the sentence on the screen. It was fun because it added a little touch of competitiveness to the class and... Everyone loves to win lol, also they were explaining why they were choosing each answer which is perfect to understand their understanding and how they have been receiving the information. I loved to see students have fun in most of the class so far.
Games are excellent as a complement to a class, especially this kind because students can understand them much better the structures. Students were really active this time.
A second activity started, this was very interesting because they used Tic-Tac-Toe, the game! The students glued the "X" and "0" shaped papers to the whiteboard while participating.
After this class, I'm 100% sure they understood the topic!
María Ruano, it's to see that you updated your blog in no time! Definitely, the strategy of doing it as you observe the class really worked! :D
