I had my second teaching practicum on Monday, March 27^th, 2017. I was in charge of continuing teaching the reported speech and reported questions.

I started the class greeting students. Then, I developed the warm-up activity in which I asked students to work in pairs and discuss one thing that they did on their weekend that was really good.  I liked this warm-up activity because when I asked students to share their opinions, they looked really motivated to talk about what they did, specially because they went to a camping and they were sharing their good moments with me.  

After that, I made a review about the reported speech and reported questions. So, I pasted some examples in direct speech and direct questions and I asked students to help me to change them into reported speech and reported questions. Even though, this is a difficult topic that requires time to manage, students were participating and this is one thing that I liked of them because they tried and they were not afraid to be mistaken.

When I finished the review, I asked students to work on page 87, exercise 1 and read the paragraph paying attention to the structure of the sentences. Then, I asked them what similarities they could notice in the structures of the sentences with the examples that I gave them before in order to have them realize about reported questions.

Finally, I had students working on exercise 6. In this last activity, they had to choose the kind of reporter they would like to be, write the name of a famous person and 5 questions they would like to ask the famous person. Then, I had them working in pairs telling them that one would be the reporter and the other one the famous person, so the reporter had to take notes about the answers of the famous person using reported speech and reported questions.
