NINTH TASK - JOURNAL 4


I have to start saying that I hate the fact that I did not have class on Thursday because I did not apply what I have planned for that day and I had to do it on Friday and the time was not enough at all.
The main topic of this week was parts of the body and, at the beginning I thought students were not going to like it thanks to this topic is too easy but, the result of completely different. Learners were paying attention and taking some notes, it was amazing because since I am their teacher, they have not been interested in some topics. This week, their behavior was not perfect but they improved it a lot. We did not have any discipline problem.
On the other hand, I realized that I have promised that I was going to take to the class some games or didactic activities and I have not done it. In other words, I am going to use some word search, riddles and games in order to catch their attention and let them work as the way they want like coloring the spaces or being creatives.
I noticed the ones that have not taken their dictionaries to the class, this week they did it and they participated just to have extra positive points owing to this week was the last one to have their final grade. I felt comfortable with both classrooms when they were asking for more examples of parts of the body and asking how they could write some sentences to say how their body are.

When I was giving them their exams and I was kind of angry and I told them why I was in that mood. Surprisingly, nobody talked, nobody made any noise. As soon as I finished talking, I started with a new lesson and they did everything without saying a word. That happened with 602, but with 601 it was completely different, just 3 students failed the exam. With this classroom, I always can work without having any problem with their behavior. I started with the new lesson and they did really like because they always were asking for more information, for new ways to say something and how to make sentences saying something related to...

DIRECTIONS: Once you have drawn your visual teaching metaphor, scan the drawing, post it in your blog and write an interpretation about it. My visual teaching metaphor is quite similar to real context. I drew some elements of the music which means that mos of the things should follow a secuence to be succesfull. Then, emotions are really realible when we teach in the classroom thanks to we go through great moments and not the best ones so, we need to know how to deal with them. Moving on, the light bulb has a happy face. Why? Beacuse it means that teachers should have a open-mind to acquire new ways of teaching, new didactic techniques to make learning an excellent enviroment. As everything is linked to the heart, it means that what we do, we must do it with our passion, as if it is going to be our last day teaching, just to have fun and enjoy what we do.
