I really liked this class. We began with a warm-up in which all the students participated. After, the students worked in some oral exercises; for that I brought some pieces of papers that contained patterns about passive voice; the students had to choose one of the papers and form a sentence with the giving patterns. Then, I gave to each one a page with ten active sentences that they had to rewrite into passive. After that, I wrote a short role play conversation on the board about an office employee and her boss then, I modeled it for them. Next, I asked them to make pairs and I gave to each work pair a name of a work place; with that, they had to perform a short role play using the passive voice. I really liked that activity because I could see that all of them were working on that. Also, in the presentation; they showed enough creativity. So, each of the students participated in class. This time, they demonstrated a different attitude that motivated me so much. For the contrary, I forgot to make a different setting arrangement; So, I had some difficulties for monitoring their work. Another thing was that I had to start from the easy exercises to the most difficult ones.
Well, from this class I learned very important things. One, I always have to make a setting arrangement that facilitate me to monitor the students´ work. Two, I must to begin from the easy to the difficult things. Three, I always have to do my best!!!
Hiii Ercyy I like the part in which you describe that you taught your students by giving a demonstration because I think it is the best way to do it. Sometimes it is difficult for students to get the idea of our directions at the first time, but if you show them instead of telling them they get the idea easily... I would also like to tell you that you can ask your students´ help to arrange the desks because in that way it is easier and the students feel as part of the class by helping you!!
