Teaching Practicum II

Student: Claudia Carolina Orellana

 During  my  second  Teaching Practice, I  understood that not all us look things in the same way.

 I welcomed the students, so they  said hello to me, too. Then,  I continued the class  by asking them  about  their weekend, some of them said that everyting was fine, etc. Latr, i  made a short warm-up for they to get in touch again with the English class. At the beginning, they did not feel like like participating,but  at the end, they did things in a nice mood.After, I continued with the  grammar  explanation about the use of    such and so .Then, I made the first exercise related to  the topic.They were supposed to  complete the  information  I  wrote  on the board; for example:  The  weather was so ..
Student : The wather was so  cold that I could not  take a shower.
The  dierction  in the lesson plan  said:  " In an written and oral way"
So I  decided to  let the students to make it  in a written  way on their notebooks,when they finished , I asked them to  read the statement on the board and add their own information  at the same time.
In the second exercise I asked them to listen the  information that I   mentioned, so they had to combine the sentences  by using  such... that, I made the exercise in an oral way because i realized that  it was easier for the students just to listen the information and insert the  words  required  in the middle of the two sentences.
I thought that I was right with the  procedure;however in the feed back that the teacher gave me , he said that things had been better if I  had  done the exercise in the opposite way beacuse the first exercise  was suitable for them to do it only  in an oral way and that for the seacond exercise  in the written form.
At the end I  analized his point of view and I noticed that his point of view was right according to  the needs of the students.
