This was the last class in Intermediate English I. We started the class playing the “Bingo” game. I asked the students to make groups of three. Then, I gave each group a piece of cardboard with some adjectives on it. Also, I gave them a bunch of bits of paper which would be used to mark the adjective that I mentioned. The group that marked all the adjectives would be the winner. It was very funny. After that, I did a review about the previous class. Then, I explained some rules about comparative and superlative forms of adjectives. I used a chart per each rule that I explained. Also, I used some images for giving examples of each rule. As well, I gave each student a page with the rules and the examples that I explained. I almost spent the whole class in that. Well, the class was just grammar explanations. When I finished explaining a rule, I gave some examples and the students helped me by reading them. Although it was grammar explanation, we enjoyed that time. All the students participated. At the end, I gave each student a page with some exercises. Just five of the students shared their answers with the whole class. On the other hand, in one of the charts that I pasted, I had two spelling mistakes. Another thing was that before I started the grammar section, I mentioned the word “grammar” and it was not necessary to do that.
Things that I learned:
*- I have to make examples that include the people and things that are around the class. Because doing this the examples are meaningful for the students.
*- I can change difficult examples for easier ones.
*- I have to double check the material that I am going to use in the class.
Well, this was my last class in this level. I really liked to work with them. They were a nice group. The tutor and the students made me feel confidence in my teaching practicum class. I enjoyed working with them.
