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.
Congrats Claudia!! When we are planning we have to figure out how the activities would work and how the students would react however sometimes the things don´t go as we thought!
