MY SECOND CLASS

THURSDAY FEBRUARY 14^th, 2013

In my second class, I felt different because I was not nervous as the first time, so I felt I was more confortable. I could manage the class in a better way and students were willing to learn too. I want to share with you that this time not everything was nice because I faced a problem in the warm up activity. I chose a short phrase for students to pass it secretly by whispering at one another, but this did not work as the way I wanted. During this, the first student who I told the phrase did not understand what it meant, and as a result he was thinking too much in how he would say it to his classmate, so I decided to start from the other side too, but the same happened, and they started wasting too much time on this, so they did not do anything. I got a little bit worried about this, and I did not know what to do, so I tried to make something different, in other words, I was improvising for some minutes. Next time, I will be prepared with two activities if something like this happens again because you never know.
