TEACHING PRACTICUM II
ADVANCED ENGLISH I
TEACHER GIOVANY BLANCO
Today’s class was really interesting because the all of the students participated in the class, and they were enjoying it because they were laughing and participating a lot.
• Something that I want to describe about the lesson that went well was that the Ss were participating actively in the activities I carried out to the classes. I was motivated to work with them because they showed interest in the class, and I felt better when some of those students told me that my classes were nice and understandable. They were working in some activities related to passive voice.
• Something that didn’t go well was that some students arrived late to the class and I felt uncomfortable for it because they were irresponsible. Another thing was that I did not understand an activity planned in the lesson plan. I did not what to do, and I decided to use another activity instead of that activity.
• I felt I got the objectives of this lesson because at the end of the classes all the students were discussing about the use of passive voice. I understood that a teacher must be really prepared when teaching an advanced level because that group of students is demanded, and they also ask a lot of question during the classes.
• I used different kinds of materials to make the students understand the class very well. I used flashcards, pictures, the board, markers, and the CD player to do the warm –up of a class. I gave pictures of different objects and they had to talk about those pictures using passive voice. At the end one of each group passed to the front to talk about those pictures.
• I could manage the time well because I finished the classes at 4:40 exactly. All the activities I did were measured well and that´s why I did not have problem with the time.
• If I teach this lesson again, I will be really careful when working with passive voice because the students were a little confused at the beginning of the class, but later on they got the idea ..

passive voice is one of the "special" topics for the majority or teachers. I consider very important to guide activities in which students can identify the passive and also the active voice. I read about your activities which I really think would help me to understand the passive easily because you gave them chance to think and then express their thoughts.Using different materials you give the students opportunities to learn for all the learning styles.I am sure you are improving your time management and it´s great!

Passive voice is not an easy topic...remember when we were learning it!! We had a hard time! But I think that you managed to explain the topic and I'm sure your class went really good, as I read! :)
ResponderEliminarTeacher, As you have shared in this new class. I just have to tell you something about your work. There is something that i admire about what you do, and that is like the personal touch you include in your classes. ACTION AND ENTHUSIASM are always part of your work.
ResponderEliminarI guess that in this class you gave the best you have. Remember that It doesn't matter the topic you have to teach. The most important here is that the teacher must always be well prepared to teach any topic. If you take time for you to be prepared, you will be ok.
Passive voice is kind of difficult but remember that there are always ways to explain things in a different way.
On the other hand, I can see that you did a very nice work. Continue the same way, teacher Edward. Don't forget that a real teacher never stops learning.
