My second class on intermediate!!

Well, this time, I wanted to know each student´s name. So, we began with a warm-up that helped me to know them. Then, I gave a brief explanation of a grammar note. I wanted to use a visual aid for that but I did not bring it. So, I did it in the traditional way. Something that I liked from this class was that most of the students participated and made questions in class. They were paying attention on the task. They were very interested on the topic. On the other hand, there was a group of five students that didn´t want to pay attention and they were noisy. I couldn´t lead with that, I made a few questions in order to involve them but they continued doing the same. When I realized that they didn´t want to be quiet, I continued working just with the other students. I felt bad because I couldn´t lead with that problem.
From this experience, I learn that I have to look for new and interesting ways for explaining grammar. I know that I can innovate that part of the lesson. Another thing that I learn is that I must to look for techniques that help me to lead with noisy groups in the class. I hope that the next class is going to be better!!
