Second Practice (3rd P)

Describe In this class, I developed just some activities to practice the gerunds as object of prepositions. I could notice that students were kind of confused with some of the rules to apply the prepositions, so I gave a short review of the topic. The class was good, and the sitting arrangement was in the normal way. Some of the materials used were markers, photocopies, and a chart.

I can say that developing activities is not too difficult; however, if the students have doubt about the topic, it is necessary to give an explanation. I think that having a plan B is very helpful when teaching. I used the chart as plan B to give the review of the topic which was necessary. I developed a short reading to make students see how the gerunds as obj. of prepositions work in context.	Giving the meaning of words that Ss do not know is very important to have a successful class; however, there are some times that I run out of words to explain, and I feel nervous. Writing activities are good tool to see if the students have understood the topic, so that why I started my class with one writing act.	In the future, I will develop more kinesthetic activities. In future lessons, I will apply more techniques to catch students’ attention, The next time I work with this topic, I will make students speak more for making them improve their speaking skill, and to avoid too much TTT.

first class (3rd P)

Describe In this class, I developed something related to how colors influence in personality to start the unit, and then I gave grammar part that was about gerunds and infinitives as direct object. The seating arrangement was in the normal way. And some of the materials I used were a chart, markers, and some photocopies.

I can say that when talking about personality there is a lot to say, and we can take advantage of that. I used a short reading about the psychology of colors to see how they influence in personality. In the grammar part, I could notice that students easily understood the topic; however, they had some problems with the different verbs.	I developed those activities to introduce the new unit. I think students like to talk about personality and learn new thing about it. I believe that introducing a new topic is hard, especially gerunds and infinitives since there are special verbs to use in both cases.	In the future, I will include more speaking activities. In future lesson, I will make students participate more. The next time I teach, I will provide more example to give  a better explanation.
