Class #3 - Participation

Saturday 17th, September,2016

7:30 - 11:30

This time, I taught a vocabulary lesson. 

Activity #1.  How was your week?

Students made pairs and asked the question " how was your week?"each other, then, some of them shared their answers with all the class. The purpose of this activity was to review the previous knowledge that was simple past.

Activity #2. Are you a daredevil?

Daredevil: a person recklessly daring person.

I explained the meaning of  Daredevil. Then, Students asked to the person next to them the question "are you a daredevil?" many of them said " No, I'm not a daredevil" because they are afraid of heights.

Topic: Prepositions: Movements.

I showed to the students 9 prepositions: up, down, over, under, across, through, around, into, and, off. I explained their meaning of each word and their use, then, I pasted some pictures about some activities in which they had to help me to match them to the correct preposition.Then, they helped me to make some sentences base on the pictures. 

Some of the sentences were:

Bob walked around the forest.

Bob rode his bike through the forest.

Bob jumped off the helicopter.

Activity #4. Guess game.

Students made 2 groups, each group had to choose a leader. The leader had to take a little paper and make mimics in order to his group guess the prepositions that he took.

Activity  #5. My last vacations.

Students had to think in activities that they did in their last vacation and try to use the prepositions that were presented. Then, they did 2 lines facing each other to shared their experiences.they changed partner 3 times.

PLAY: "LAS DOS CARAS DE BARTOLO"

After the break, all the students from the scholarship had the opportunity of enjoy the play: " las dos caras de bartolo" by El Departamento de Arte y Cultura de la Universidad Don Bosco.

With a combination of comedy, romance and music, it' was a great play, I really enjoyed it. They did a really good job!

Note: To be honest, I was nervous, it' was the first time that I stood in front of them as their teacher, and I didn't know what would be their reaction, but I did it! I feel happy, because they helped me, they really paid me attention and they participated very well in all the activities and the most important thing they learned something new.
