Teaching Practicum II

Fourth practice
Today I realized more about that a teacher has to take advantage  of  all the little things  to be teaching  the English langauge in the classroom.
I started my practice with a warm-up in which the students were asked to stand up and to make a big semi circle .They had to say a verb in the simple present tense before throwing  the ballooon. They were  said that  if they throw the balloon first without saying the verb previously, they had to sit down.Later, i continued with grammar explanation about the simple past tense and the past continuous tense.Later, I made  a substitution drill in which I had to  read the sentences in the simple present tense,so they had to change them into past tense. At the end of my teaching hour, I received the feedback.The teacher gave me some tips about the speed of reading  and  about the warm- up in which I had to take care of using  warm-ups where the students didn´t  have to sit down if they fail in the activity because  if they sit down, they don´t practice their English.Eventhough the warmer was supposed to make the students to   get in touch with the Language , I had to be careful on that.
