Today was my third class with this group. This class was better than the onther ones in this group. since I watched myself on the video and I realized my class could be more interactive I prepared more dynamic activities and I saw students response was better they had a lot of fun and practiced a lot. First I pasted on the board a drawing of a bedroom with some objects on it. Students had to describe to some partners who couldnt see the picture. That was a funny moment and they enjoyed it a lot. I also had some filling in the blanks and writting activities. 

I tryed to vary and to cover each skill. At the end they played a boardgame. It`s so nice to see how they learn by playing they didn`t even know they were learning a lot. I felt so happy because finally I saw what I wanted. The entire class flowed so natural. I`m learning many things on how to adapt activities to each group. Also that no all the activities will work for all the groups. The feedback was not what I expected because this time I saw students learned and practice a lot but the teacher didn`t mention any good thing. She just  wrote the mistakes and bad things. I guess she is rigth and I need to see a video of this  class so I will see what she saw.

 Despite that,  I`m very optimistic for next class because it will be the last one!..I mean because I will try to do an extra effort :-) good luck everybody and congrats for the ones who already finished!!

Today was my second class with this new group. I`m feeling better because I could see that they are trying to participate more but it is still hard to do it. My tutor told me that it may be that they feel shy because I`m new for them.What they dont know i that I feel shy and nervous too hahaha.This class was hard for me to teach because I was being video taped and that made me feel so nervous. I started the class reading the objective and explaining the students why my classmate was there with a camera because all the students were looking at him and wandering what was he doing there. 
After I explained the reason why he was in the classroom they were more comfortable and able to speak, last class was very hard for me because anybody wanted to participate but today was a bit better. I developed the activities I had planed and I just have one thing in my mind. I brougth a song for the class and I was wondering if they were going to like it or not. I was not sure if the song was adequate for them since they are begginers I was worry about it. My tutor told me that I took too much time doing this activity and that I should try another way of presenting a song without taking too much time but for me it was important and I know that they wont get the things so fast so that is why I played it two times.
The rest of the class was nice and flowed so natural but the fact of being video taped definitely made me different I was sweating a lot but I finally succed with my clas and I sure next class will be better because students now know me well and I hope they will be able to participate more during the class.

Today was my first class in a new group. I´m in basic english with teacher Karina. As all  first times I was very nervous. I had a lot of things in my mind and I was afraid of everything. I arrived early to the class and in order to feel better and confident I started talking to the teacher. She told me that she has only nine students but some of them dont come to class everyday. As she said they were only 7 and I started the class. I know that I was enthusiastic and I was very positive with this class because I have learned a lot of things all the semester.


As soon as I started I discovered something: The students does not like to participate! I dont know if it was because I was there and they were shy or afraid of me but it was really hard for me.I tried a lot of ways for them to participate and they were so quiet and didnt want to talk. The teacher call their attention saying that they were to quiet today. I reallly dont know what happen I think I prefer big groups! hahaha.I think this was the worst class I`d ever teach, I was more and more nervous and every time I turned to see the tutor she was writting in the feedback page, that made me feel more nervous, fortunately the hour passed so fast and I finished.I know I need to learn to teach everybody and to expect different things because each students is a different world.I hope next class will be better I will continue being positive and motivating students to participate!
