Class Description

Second class – Friday, September 18^th, 2015

During the first minutes, students came to the classroom and seated in traditional way because the classroom did not allowed another way because it is too short. I developed a warm-up outside of the classroom in the basketball field; students made two rows and competed to each other, so they enjoyed that activity; after that, we came back to the classroom and started to work in the activities, for this class I developed only practices. I included controlled, semi-controlled and free activities; the first activity was an unscramble focus in the topic “third type conditional”, so they did very fast and perfectly; then, in the second activity, I gave them some cards  situations, and they solved those situations very fast, and as every activity, I checked the answers with the whole group. The third activity was a role-play, and they performed it with a lot of creativity as real actors. To conclude my class, I did a wrap-up about some famous inventors using the third type conditional obviously.

I think that students have to know about unreal situations in the past is really important because they also could analysesome choices that they did; moreover, they acquired some new words about money matters; it is useful for them, for they could learn some tips how to save money.

Based on what already know about learning process, I think that using visual aids in the classroom is very useful and important for the learning process; for this class I used many colorful pictures in order to explain something about money matters, and the students expressed their opinions about the pictures. They really enjoyed learning through seeing some material.

For future classes, I am going to continue using visual aids as poster, charts, and drawings because students learn better when they use their senses as sight, hearing, and touching. Moreover, I have to prepare activities related to my future student’s age; it is another very important point.
