Third Teaching Practicum
Today, Tuesday 9th,
2017 I had my third teaching practicum and I taught the adverbs with the
present perfect tense.
I developed a “find
someone who” as a warm up activitiy and as a follow up activity I asked
students to share some anecdotes about the sentences. The warm up activity was
a good activity because students were sharing personal information.
Then, I had
students doing a multiple choice exercise in which they had to underline and
choose the best adverb (still, already, yet, etc.) for each sentence. I think
that this activity worked well for students because they reinforced their knowledge
about the topic.
Besides, I developed
an interview activity in which students needed to ask some questions to a
partner and write complete sentences using the adverbs and the present perfect.
This activity was good because students were interacted and using the grammar
patterns.
Finally, I
developed the paper airplane activity and I asked students to write one adverb.
Then, I asked students to throw the airplane and pick up one. After that I had
them walking around the classroom sharing a sentence according to the adverb
that they got. After that, I asked students to share some sentences. I consider
that students enjoyed this activity as they looked very engaged since the beginning
until the end of it. Moreover, I think this activity benefited those
kinesthetic students and all the students were speaking and interacting among
them.
