My second class experience

Today I had my second class experience with basic level. At the beginning of the class, I started with a warm up activity that is called: “pass the balls”. Then, I gave them a reading that contained the use of the simple present tense in which they had to underline all the verbs they find in the reading. In this class, I taught students about the simple present tense and the possessive case. First, I explained them the grammar part about the simple present and I provided them some examples. I also explained them some of the main rules to form the possessive case and they also had some practice about it. 

I think in this class were many things that went well, for example; I could get students’ attention while I was explaining the grammar part and I could see most of them understood the information, because I tried to give them understandable explanation and examples. They also participated in all the activities that I did. 

Something that did not go so well was that some students had problems at the moment to develop the exercises, because they found kind of difficult the exercises, but I thought  it was going to be easy for them; and that they were going to be able to develop the activity in few minutes. So, these were some of the problems  I had during the class, because I spent a lot of time in this activity and I did not expect that.

I have learned that we need to be careful to set the time; and we also have to select very well the materials we are going to use and be ready to things which are unexpected, because as teachers we need to be ready to deal with different situations.
