I taught my second class in the Intermediate class today. I think that this class was better than the first one because I tried to improve what the teacher told me in the feedback.
The topic that I had to teach was a review on Modals, so now I am going to tell the activities that I developed in the class:
WARM- UP:
I ask students to stand up and come to the front in order to make a circle. It was like the "Hot Potato", but when they got the ball, they had to throw a dice and the dice had written six modals (one per each side) so they had to tell me a sentence using the modal they had gotten, for example if they had gotten COULD, they had to tell a sentence using COULD.
PRESENTATION:
For the presentation, I played a video on Modals. It was so useful because students were repeting the uses of Modals and also trying to do the fill in the blanks examples that it had. Here you have the video if you want to watch it.
GRAMMAR REVIEW:
I divided the whiteboard into four columns: PERMISSION, POSSIBILITY, OBLIGATION, AND PIECES OF ADVICE. I asked for eight volunteers. They had to take a sentences and paste it in the correct column according to the modals that the sentence had, for example: Can I use your pencil? (PERMISSION). I am sure that it was useful for them because they practice the use of each modal.
SEMI - CONTROLLED PRACTICE:
It was a Filling in the blanks practice. It was easy, but important for them in order to practice. They had to write the correct modal in each sentence. I gave them five minutes to do it and then, they shared their answers orally.
FREE PRACTICE:
For the free practice, I tried to look for a funny activity, so they had to interview some classmates. The name of the activity was: " Fun ability test". Some of the questions they had to ask were: Can yoy spin around ten times and then walk straight line? Can wiggle your ears? Can you count to 20 in English in 10 seconds?, etc. They got fun asking those question because they were trying to do those activities.
Ok classmates, it was my class. I really enjoyed it! THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS!
Hy Hi Isa, i think all of us feel good about finishing this period! regarding to your class i can see you developed different activities for different learners, that´s cool ma'am, because you made them participate. You had a very organize agenda therefore your class must´ve been the same! nice way of working Isa, and it was nice you tried to fill the things you did not do in your previous class.
