My activities


I decided to use visual material in my classes, I brought two posters of famous people to work with, one of Rey Misterio and the other of the cast of New Moon. At the end of my practice I gave the posters to the participative boys. I have to say that it was difficult for me to capture the attention of the students, but when they saw the material they started to be interested. I also played Guess who? Two students passed at the front with the image of an artist and made questions to their classmates to guess who were the artists. Some images of the material that I used, up.

My classes


The topic of my classes were how to describe people physically and in their personalities. The teacher gave me the student´s book to get some ideas from it. I worked with the questions what does he/she/it look like? and what is he/she /it like? and also with adjectives like tall, short, thin, fat. slim, pretty, ugly and more. I used two posters of famous people to let the students describe them. Up, my plannings:

WHAT DID I LEARN AFTER THE CLASS?




Yesterday, we dealt with the types of teaching in depth and also we considered elements that a good teacher needs to have, like listening the students, showing respect, giving positive feedback being patient, amongst others.


Also we talked about the concept of "rapport" that means to be in tune with our students, creating an atmosphere of cooperation, respect and confidence.




Now, the consideration of my fulfillment.


Cooperation...Yes


Collaboration...Yes


Cleanliness...Yes

CLASS WOK...WHAT DID I LEARN?

I consider that my perfomance in class yesterday was the following:

Order.................Yes
Cooperation......Yes
Collaboration.....Yes
Cleanliness........Yes

Yesterday we talked about three common ways to carry out teaching and over all we discussed in accordance with this clasification how could we call our own way of teaching, for example:
The explainer: is the teacher who`s method consists in giving to the students a presentation of the contents using the rhetoric, sometimes accompany with enthusiasm and motivation.
The involver: is the teacher who`s method consists in asking questions, make activities with the students colaboration, etc. all this with the main purpose of involve the students.
The enabler: this method is using by teachers that knows his students, the way in which they work and their needs. This teacher is not scared of sharing the responsability of learning with their pupils.

I consider that the method I use more often is the second one, but definetly I would like to improve and reach the last mentioned.

CLASS WORK

First of all, let`s check If I fulfilled the following aspects:

-Order...Yes
-Cleanliness...Yes
-Collaboration...Yes
-Cooperation...Yes

Now in relation with the class reading I think that three competences that I have are the following ones:
1. I try very hard to capture my students attention using specially visual resources.
2. I motivate my students with activities that contain the concept/pocedure/attitude that we raised previously.
3. I use daily life situations to introduce a topic.

And now, in relation with the competences that I would like to learn and improve in my practice, I consider the following ones:
1. Undertake peventive actions in relation with learning poblems as attention difficulties, etc.
2. Organize better my time class because sometimes I don`t have enough time.
