Through this first lesson, I tried to use different teaching strategies. I was able to change from one to another depending on the students react. Scaffolding was constantly present in my lesson as I tried to make the students feel confident. I helped them to participate and to not have any issues qhen answering my questions. They really liked the lesson and have participated actively. Tey loved learning new vocabulary about places in my twon.

In this lesson I could observe how important the chosen materials are. I used some posters that helped the students understand the different activities. Photocopies are a valuable resource too, as they are necessary to involve children in the different stages of the lesson. The use of flashcards helped me make relations with the new words and the previous knowledge. Some activities needed to be reajusted as I had to use complete sentences instead of small phrases.

In lesson 4 and 5 I started with an activity where students have to go to the board and match the pictures to the corresponding preposition of place. They really like this type of activities. This aspect of the lesson will help me plan the next one. I am going to take into account that children like going to the front of the class and participate actively.

The closure activity was very important to me. The students had to play a game. During this activity I was able to look if the aims of the lesson were reached. This part of the lesson allows me to check if some changes are necessary or not.

Children love counting in English. They really like learning numbers in the English class. Today I started working with a new topic: numbers. After the warm-up and presentation, the students had to prepare some posters to put on the classroom's walls. They had to write the name of the numbers and glue some shapes made of color paper. This activity was very important for my students as they involved in it working in small groups. They started chatting and deciding what shape would they cut and what color would they use. Activities where they have to use different materials and where they have to work collaboratively are very important.

In this lesson I used different activities to work with numbers. Some of the activities where simple and other where more complex. Some students needed the teacher guidance and some others didi not. This remembers me of a metaphor that I always have in my mind when teaching.

When you make popcorn, all the grains receive sugar, oil and heat at the same time, but not all of them explode and turn into popcorn at the same time.

As popcorn, children learn at different times and as a teacher I have to be prepared to this challenge.

Farm animals is one of the topic 8 year old children love. I decided to use soome characters from "La granja de Zenon". These characters are well known by children and they love their music. It was an important starting point as I tried to catch the students attention from the beginning of the lesson. After presenting these characters, I concentrated on introducing the different farm animals and the spelling of their names.

I used different activities to work on the new vocabulary and even a known song "Old McDonald". THe students really like singing the song and making the farm animals sounds.

The posters and the flashcards used in this lesson were so funny for children. To introduce some adjectives, I used some pictures of animals with different characteristics. It made children have fun and even imaging other different characteristics that an animal could have. They tried to imagine how a farm animal could be using different adjectives to describe it.

An activity where I could observe that children like doing, i the one where tehy have to read sentences and identify the picture it describes. Another one is the acitiviy where, observing a picture, they have to complete sentences using the new words (adjectives) or previous learnt words (farm animals).

For this lesson I choose this quotation:

"Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going." - Rita Mae Brown

We know there is a deep connection between the language and culture. When we learn a language, we gain access to the collective knowledge, history, and values of the culture associated with the language. Language serves as a "road map" that guides us through that different culture, provinding insights into its origins and the direction it is heading. This way, we can understand that language is not only a tool for communication, but it is a key that unlocks the door to understand traditions, and differents perspectives of a community.

Children love playing so I decided to use a game to help children remember the alphabet sounds. The students have responded and played the game actively. They wanted to keep playing. At the end of the lesson I dictated them a word by spelling the different sounds. Some studetns needed help and guidnace to complete the word. Other students just needed that I repeat the sounds. It was a fantastic way of ending my practicum.

It was useful to use posters about the alphabet and the different sounds of the letters. It helped the students to group the letters according to their sound.

In this lesson, the listening activities where crucial to help students differentiate the sounds of the English alphabet.

Through a song, I finished this lesson rounding up and ecouraging children to sing. I used my guitar to teach the students the song by parts. Then, we started singing the whole song slowly. This is what playing the guitar allows me to do with the songs. Once the children gain confidence on the lyrics, we sung the song faster.
