"Beginner´s luck"


Without comments!!!!!!!!!!!! See us in the next entry! Jajaja









Hello everybody!
Today I was going earlier to the class, I expected to be there at 8:30 a.m.
I had not slept very well because of nervous. When I was at 10 minutes from
the university one of my shoes got damaged!!!! OMG! Why? exactly to me? In my
 first day? Since that moment I felt worst! And I went back home to change my shoes.
Finally I got the University and I did not want to teach because it was 9:10 a.m :(

Well, I explained to the teacher but as we know teachers can say “oh, so bad” but they
do not take into consideration any excuse and not one so silly like mine! So I started and
I apologized with the students because of my tardiness.

I started with the warm up “electricity” (you already know it). The students and the
teacher enjoyed it. Then I asked them to work on their books. They look at some pictures
for 1 minute and tried to think about what could have happened in those pictures. Then, I asked
them to stand up and the persons with black shoes get together to make “A” group and the rest
would be the “B” group. In each group they discussed the pictures and wrote only one idea about each
of them. Then, I asked them to stand up again and make two circles one inside the other.
The group “A” outside and “B” inside. The group “A” had to walked to their left and “B” to their
 right. When I said stop they stopped walking and started talking about the pictures with the person who was in front of them. Then I gave them a piece of paper with some vocabulary. They had to match the correct words with their definitions. 
Then,  GRAMMAR! I gave them a sheet of paper with main points about “modals to talk about the past”
I assigned one step to each couple and they had to explain it and give an example. They passed to the board towrite the example and explain it. 
What went good? Mmm! Just the part about grammar. I did not have to explain a lot because they got it since the first activity and when reading the objective I had for the class.
What went wrong? Well out of my shoes! They asked me one thing about  grammar and I had
doubts about if was ok what I would answer or not but I answer good! I guess!

o   Objective: SWBAT identify the different types of modals that are used to talk about the past.
o   Materials: Photocopiable material, masking tape, board, eraser, marks and textbook.
o   Feedback: Some tips to give instructions.
o   Grade: I do not expect a good grade since I feel I did not do it good.
