This was my first recorded class. I felt as if it were the first time in my life. Same feelings.

Not having the latest devices perhaps made me feel so insecure.  Moreover, I felt so focused on the plan that I could not enjoy the class. On the other hand, the children were so happy, excited, and surprised. One boy exclaimed ."you did all of that for us? " referring to the images, posters, etc. Regarding the development of the activities and the class itself, I consider it was natural, like all the other days, I think the children did not note any difference, they did not realize about the camera until the very end of the class so that was an advantage.

1.      What aspects of the lesson require change/improvement?

One point to keep in mind. I didn't usually pay attention to the exact time it took them to solve each activity before having this experience. Now I realize that I have to adjust my time and activities better. Sometimes they need more time than I tentatively consider in pre-class planning.

5. What do you find useful in this lesson that will help you plan the next one?

I consider that finding the balance between following planning in detail and a bit of flexibility will be useful for future classes.

My second class. Although I followed the plan, I tried to forget about the camera and the demand to be a perfect teacher and make mistakes or be myself, having fun in class and not feeling like I was taking an exam. In that way, I feel that it was a better class. Regarding the activities themselves, the oral part was easy for them, so they felt like participating. However, the written part was a bit difficult, not the sentences but the explanations. I will have to change or adjust the commands because I had to translate several times .

6. Choose a moment that was important for you during the lesson. Describe it and say why it was important.

I´ve chosen this moment because, after all, they could complete the task successfully. This moment shows me only as a tutor, a guide, and children working independently coming to me just to clear a doubt.

7. Choose a moment that was important for the students during the lesson. Describe it and say why it was important.

Considering the lack of resources that these students are used to, I think that seeing me arriving with "things" for them in my bag is a special moment for them. It makes them feel special.

I am starting to enojy this experience. Classes are flowing.This class was a success in many ways. To begin with, the students were very happy to see me. Some said: we miss you! (referring to the previous Friday which was a holiday). They recognized my bag and started trying to see what was inside because they see that I have the "things" for them there. As for the activities themselves, the listening part surprised me since it was shorter than stipulated and it was very easy for them. The puzzle activity was very nice, they really loved it and they worked excellently in pairs. Except for a girl and a boy who I will refer to later. Everyone put together their puzzle and some, with permission, went to another desk to help. When they saw my drawings I thought they would find them  very childish but they adored them.The hidden animal activity was a success, it did not seem difficult and they immediately began to solve it (although instructions in L1 were needed) although they liked it so much that they did not want to stop (in the stipulated time) and wanted to continue, therefore The doorbell rang and we had to put away and order quickly, without the possibility of closing. Anyway, I felt happy seeing them enjoying themselves so much. They said goodbye and said: bring it, Miss, on Friday, to finish! (referring to the poster) Unfortunately, for some reason my computer stopped filming at sime point. It dissapointed me since it was so much fun .
Regarding the student, who began to cause problems, I told the Spanish teacher who called the director and they decided to take him to the office, since the child had torn his photocopies and materials, was screaming and also refused to work while writing. and drawing on arms and hands.

This activity was taken from Crazy Animals. Although I thought it was going to be difficult, it was a success. They loved it, and I enjoyed a lot seeing them having fun with such a challenging activity! It is good to take risks.

I will describe this class like a peaceful one. Several students were absent , so around 17 came. A small number considering the typical amount in this school. Last class we did not finish the last activity so, as I promised them, I brought the poster again. After that, I started with the new class. The students were silent and a bit sleepy, perhaps we because of the time of the year, they started to feel tired. However, when they saw my wig, they laughed a lot and I caught their attention. From that moment they started to participate and work. I still surprise myself by how they enjoy and love drawing. They were fascinated with the idea of the faces of the world, and they started drawing faces from different parts of the world without me even asking them. They were very clear about where the people they drew were from, although perhaps some of them were wrong about the exact country, they indicated probable countries and continents. Africa, Turkey, India, China, and the East were the most frequently heard words. I had to finish the activity, (they wanted to continue the whole class) because I was running out of time. So, I asked them to finish their magazines as homework. After that, I continued with the sentences activity, I must admit that although they wanted to draw they paid attention and participated in the new activity. Regarding the mirror activity, students were reticent to speak, but some wanted to participate, they spoke too low and shyly, and they also asked me not to talk to them in English. Students complain saying that they do not understand. In conclusion, it was a positive class but I must adjust the time assigned to drawing activities. Trying to make them speak while they draw, for example.

1.      How did the students react to your teaching, to the activities, and the materials? How did they react to the lesson? It is hard work to make them speak individually. They prefer answering aloud altogether. They love to see what I bring for them each class, they show anxiety, and they love surprises. They get excited. I consider that they like my class a lot, also the Spanish teacher keeps telling me that they wait for me the whole week.

1.   What aspects of the lesson do you consider successful? Undoubtedly, all topics linked with Art, drawing, coloring, creating, cutting, and pasting are activities they deeply enjoy.

9. Choose a quotation that represents an event, knowledge, or insight in this lesson.

I chose this quotation because it is connected with the activity itself. It is a clear representation, I believe, of our role as teachers.

Perhaps my last class of my primary Practicum. I also recorded it although I did not have to, because I liked the idea of watching the class afterwards. It turned into a handy tool. Today morning it was a cold, rainy and windy morning so, there were a lot of absent students. Some of them go walking to school.

It was a quiet and calm class, there were fewer children in each row so, some of them were sitting alone.

I started the class with the warm-up, and they seemed a bit disengaged until they saw the sample book I brought for them.

Then when I started to play with the flashcards they also started to shout the topics aloud. Also, they loved the idea of completing the big poster on the board. As they were less in the class, all of them could go to the front and participate.

When it was time to start the book, incredibly, several of them were worried about the number of sheets of paper they were going to use or need.

10. Include a photo of a moment in the lesson, or a task students did, a picture from the board, or any other lesson component you would like to share, and describe it :

These are pictures from the previous class, but two students remembered to finish them at home and brought them. So, I chose them because two reasons. The first one because they went home and wanted to finish the work and that is very important for me as a teacher. Not for the homework itself but for the students´feeling of responsibility. And the second one is because, these students did not know a word in English and now, they write some sentences on their own, and that is a joint success. I feel proud of this children .

1.      Describe this lesson in terms of a metaphor.

" TEACHING IS LIKE TRYING TO FLY AN AIRPLANE, WHILE BUILDING IT"
