SHOULD I?... SHOULDN'T I? - MY FIRST BLOG ENTRY

Hello my dear classmates! I am glad because time is flying fast and faster everyday, so I am going to share with you my experience in my first class during the first period.

Well, I am teaching an Intermediate level in the morning. I really like this group because they are always on time, so it allows me to begin the class at the correct time.

This class I felt comfortable because I started the lesson plan that Sara and I had done at the beginning of the semester, so I knwe what to do and of course, I was familiar with every activity.

The topic was: "SHOULD AND SOULD NOT"

For the Warm- up, I asked them to make groups of five, then, I gave them a name of a place such us: library, church, school, swimming pool, etc. They had to write certain rules to follow in that place. I like this activity because at the end they shared what they had written, so they practiced speaking.

For the Grammar Part, I pasted on the whiteboard some charts with the use and rules to use "Should and Shouldn't" They understood really fast because I provided many examples and also they help me to write more.

It was time to practice!!!! The name of this practice was: " What should I do in London". In the activity #1, it was a conversation about two friends, ine of them was giving some pieces of advice to the other one who wanted to travel to London. I asked two pairs to pass to the front and read the conversation.

The next activity was a filling in the blanks practice about the same topic. They did it so fast, and I could notice that they had understood.

For the last activity, I asked them to make pairs. They had to decide a name of a city and they had to give pieces of advice about what to do in that place, for example, Which hotel, kind of food and drinks, place to visit, etc.

Ok classmates, it was my class and as I told you before I felt comfortable and I really like this group... Thanks for your comments...
