my first Teaching Class

Well, it was about two fifty five p.m. I was not nervous but a little bit worried thinking about if it would be as the other time that any teacher came to evaluate my class. This time, I was eager to give my class. Although I had prepared many things for my class, I was feeling unsecure of what I was going to do, but later when I was in front of the class, I started to feel more confortable.

I started my class with a warm-up, using the game of "hot potato", and  I said the students to stand up and I explained to them that in my hands I had a paper-ball. I said the guys that the ball was made of pieces of paper and that in each piece there was written a question. I said that I was going to pass the ball, and that I was going to clap my hands and also count until ten and when I stop clapping my hands, the one who got the ball was going to take out a piece of paper, then read and also answer the question, and so on until the questions in the pieces of paper finished. I was a little bit worried because some students did not know what to do.Then, I explained somethings in Spanish because I have seen the teacher doing exactly the same.

Then, I  develop the other activity which was " find someone who". For this activity, the teacher brought the worksheets in which the students were going to work in. And I asked them to stand up and walk around their classmates in order to complete some information in the worksheet. All the students started to walk around and  complete their worksheets, it took about five minutes. Later that all of them have finished their worksheet, I asked  some of them what information they have gotten. It was to see if they had finished the task I demanded them.

the following activity was a reading,  I asked the students to go to the page eighteen because they were going to work first in a listening and later in a conversation. I played the track twenty four three times. The first time, the students were going to listen only. The second time they were going to listen and read. And the third time they were to complete some information about location and direction. when I played the track the first time, I was a little bit nervous beacuse I was not sure what was going to be the track, but later I found it and also I played it the three times.

To finish the class, I asked the students to work in pairs. They were going to work in a conversation model changing. I felt in these moments as if the students were not doing what I asked them. They are true- bigginers and think that for that reason they have some problem for understanding the Englsih. I also asked them to work on page 19 and while they were trying to complete the task I demanded, the ring-bell sounded and I finiched my class because obviously I did not have more time. But in deed, I was a great time as a  teacher.
