Last teaching practicum

On that day our partners Olga, Alex and Eliseo had the oportunity to develop a reading class about past vacation.
For the warm up Alex formed 2 groups and gave to the students a puzzle that they were asked to complete. The puzzle was about a collage of different activies related to past vacations.
After that Eliseo asked students to stand up and form a circle to play the hot potatoe with a luminous ball and when the light of the ball stops the student who had the ball was asked to pass to the front and paste a verb in past in a poster Eliseo had pasted in the board about the reading they were going to present.

For the first during Olga presented the reading. The reading was presented in a very creative way, it was in a big kind of book and Olga read it aloud for all the students that were sit down in the floor. After that she asked some questions about the reading and most of them were answer correctly. Also she asked some questions about multiple answers adn the also answered correctly.

Olga read the reading again with the students and then provided a worksheet  with ture and false sentences that they were asked to answer individually and then she check it with the students.

For the post- reading students were a asked to make a drawing about their past vacation in a page that Alex provided to them.
For the wrap up Eliseo use a dice to play with the students, they were asked to throw when they had a baall that they used to play hot potatoe. Each side of the dice had a picture about past vacation and students had to say the phrase that represent the picture.

The last part of the class after break was the best because it was our turn to teach again and we had to do it together with Rocio´s group. We used the same topic but with listening skill.
To start with the class Rocio hid 8 eggs that students were asked to find around the class, when they found them all they were asked to open them and inside the egg there was a number and depending on the number they had they were given a picture and beatriz asked the question "what did you do in your last vacation?" and they had to answer accourding to the picture thay had gotten.

For the pre-listening Rocio made a great activity abut mimics a student was asked to pass to the front and make a mimic about a paper she showed to them and the rest of the class had to guest what was it about.

After that Diego played the audio for the first time and students were asked the questions "How many characther were talking in the audio?" and "what were the names of the characthers?", and students answered them correctly.

For the durings I gave them some papers about the activities about past vacation that appeared in the listening and played the audio again. After that srudents were asked to clasify the activities saying which character had made each activity, they passes to the front and paste the phrases in the correct colum depening on the character who metion the activity in the audio.
And to end with the class Wendy played the audio for the last time and a worksheet with the audio but with some missing words was provided to the students and they were asked to complete it according to what they listen in the audio. 

Third teaching practicum

On that day it was our turn again to teach, but this time we were the first ones and we had to teach vocabulary, so our topic was past vacations. We decided to mix regular and irregular verbs in the phrases we presented but of couse we did not explain the rules about how t chnage the verbs and all that.

We started the class hanging out some ballons, inside the ballons there were the phrases and the labels related with each phrase about past vacations. Students were ask to explode 2 ballons each one and pass to the front to paste them in the board making pairs. After that I corrected the mistakes about the ones they did not pair correct and practiced the pronounciation with them.

 









After that students were asked to make like a race. A poster with some missing words  was pasted in the board and the missing words were giving to the students. Students were asked to take the label and go to the other side of the class room and they had to cross some obstacles to paste the word in the poster. When all the paper were pasted Diego was in charge of chek the asnwer and then practice them with the students.

For the second practice Wendy gave an envelop to the students with some scrambled words and they had to form the phrases that we have taught about the pst vacations.
For the production students were asked to make some sentences about their past vacations and then they draw a it and pasted on the board and passed to the front to say their senences.

In the second class after the break it was the turn of Beatris, Katherine and  Rocio to present the class their topic was the same but their skill was grammar.
They started with a warm up with an activity in which fstudents were asked to form 2 groups and one person per group took turn to participate. the activity was about some question Rocio asked for the students about a picture that students had and the person who answer first and correctly got a point for their group.
After that they pasted the verbs in the board separated by regulars and irregulars. They showed the based form and the past form of the verbs and practiced pronounciation with the students.
