Today, 14^th February, 2017 I had my third teaching practicum. Students started Unit 2 about locations and music tastes. I started the class with the most popular warm up activity “the broken telephone” as I could see students were engaged in the activity, and they really liked it.

My first activity consisted of students asking their classmates “What is your favorite kind of music?”, so they had to walk around the classroom and  according to their classmates’ responses they needed to fill a bar graph marking an x in the box that corresponded to the genre.

Then, I asked them which genre do their classmates like the most and the least? and some students answered that rock and pop were the genres that their classmates like the most, and that Jazz was the genre that they dislike. 

After this activity, I gave each student a sheet of paper about an email of a person who was inviting a friend to see a movie. So, students had to fill in the blacks using prepositions because the email had to be focus on that. After that, I asked for a volunteer who read the email to the whole the class so that everybody could check the answers. As a following activity, I had students responding the email. 

In my last activity, I pasted a poster about an email in which I was inviting students to attend to a pop concert, so I asked for a volunteer who read the email to the whole class. Then, I asked students to tell me the prepositions that they could identify, and as a post activity, I had students writing a response for my email, so during that time I was monitoring students, and giving them examples of how they could answer the email. Finally, I asked two students to read the response for my email.

In this third practicum my mentor told me that I have improved many aspects about teaching. I had students more engaged in the activities, and the visual aids that I used were good.
