Describe
On this second practice I reviewed and made students practice simple past vs present perfec. First, I started with a warm up that help them review about last class, comparatives and superlatives adverbs, I made them speak about that. Then, I told them to choose some sentences from the fill in the blanks that were in present perfect and they had to convert them into past. I continued the class with a fill in the blanks, they had to choose whether to use simple past or present perfect in some sentences. After that, I made them ask some questions, I projected them on the board and they walked around asked the questions to their classmates and then they shared who had done those things they asked. Later, I told them to ask "How has this week been?" and shared later. To finish the class they wrote about what they had done in all their lives. |
Students needed to improve their use of present perfect, that is why I focused the activities more on that subject, I could notice that indeed they needed a reinforcement. As they like to speak, the activities were focused on speaking activities because I also noticed that in adition they learned faster while speaking. |
The class was normal in terms of attention, this. time students did not ask like the previous class, I think that it was because of the confidence level I portrayed at them, different from the first class which I was very nervous. They quickly started realizing that they needed to improve using present perfect and got the idea very fast. |
In the future I will try to improve even more and to get more connected with the students, I need to improve RAPPORT and also they way that I give instructions, I was told by the teacher that I have to use more authority during the class. |
