Third period

In this third period , I started  my teaching practice  during the mornings. The  first topic to develop was Subject and object questions.My curiosity awakens when  I realized that the lesson plan  was made by me.I  was kind of nervous because I did nto know if  the methodology was going to work I started the class with a welcome; then I continued with the warm-up in which i had to bring a ball with stripes of paper stuck on in; those papers contained questions that the students were supposed to answer as soon as they catch the  ball.The procedure of the warm-up said that the teacher had to throw the ball to any of the students, then the students had to catch it and pick up a stripe of paper and answer the question it had;  after, the student had to gave back the ball to the teacher. I followed the procedure as i planned it;however, during the development  of the warm- up, i noticed that  this was kind of boring,but i  finished it.Later, i  made the presentation of the topic;then with the grammar explantion, at the end with the exercises.

In the feed back that my tutor gave me, she said that  the warm-up was ok, but that it could had been better if the students pass the ball among them, and not from the teacher to them, with this suggestion,  I  comfirmed  my  feelings towards the perception i had from the very biginning.
