I had few experience with adolescent learners. Obviously my intention is to do my best. So I am trying to get calm and concentrate on what I have to do. I am paying attention to their ages, levels of English and interests. ]]> 2018-10-19 18:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957006 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957082 In this first lesson I will encourage students to read a classic story: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. One of the aims of the lesson is to develop their reading skills and recognized words in context. Firstly, I showed them pictures in order to anticipate vocabulary from the story. Then I encouraged them to order the events and pay attention to the characters, setting, conflict, solution, plot and the part they liked best. Finally, students had to write a new version of the story. They worked in small groups.
I liked a lot this lesson I met students for the first time and had a good time.   ]]> 2018-10-19 18:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957082 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957290 ME: First of all I want to thank you dear Patricia for helping me with this practicum period.  
PATRICIA: OK don´t worry it is pleassure for me. 
ME: I want to ask you about your personal experience in the school and what do you recomend me for this period?
PATRICIA: Well, I am working in this school since 2010. Long time has passed by. And what I recommend you is to enjoy the time. I am older than you and that is my best hint for you.
ME: Great, something especial you want to tell me about the group?
PATRICIA: As you have seen they are too much boys, it will be interesting you give girls opportunities to communicate themseves, I mean that they can giv their opinions because sometimes they are shy and feel not confident talking in front of the class. 
ME: Excellent advice, i will take it into consideration thank you for all.
PATRICIA: You´re welcome and have a nice time.]]> 2018-10-19 18:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957290 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957879 In this second lesson we kept working in stories. This time we discussed about two famous tragedy love stories: Titanic and Romeo and Juliet. Again, I showed them pictures and a poster with new words in order to anticipate vocabulary. I also encouraged them to answer some questions orally. Again, they work in groups.As many of them knew the stories I asked them to order the different patagraphs of the stories and then to complete a chart in order to check comprehension. 
I feel students are enjoying the activities and they are willing to learn and have some practice in the teaching points. ]]> 2018-10-19 18:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294957879 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294960440 In this third lesson the idea is to work with description of personality. As we were working with stories firstly I showed them pictures of famous characters and learners had to guess about their personality.  Then I encouraged them to write about somebody they admire. I told them I admire my mother and Mahatma Ghandi and I provided them with a short explanation of why I admire them. Then they had to do something similar and share it with the rest of the class ]]> 2018-10-19 18:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294960440 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294961574 I consider this lesson a fantastic one. Because learners enjoyed it a lot. We kept working with description of personality so I decide to include the Chinese zodiac signs. Students liked a lot this activity. I think they felt represented by the concepts developed by the signs. I consider it was a funny activity. We include a lot of adjectives and new words. Then I pasted pictures of some faces expressions on the board and  I asked them to imagine about their personality. They had to include the new vocabulary and share their productions with the rest of the class. 
At the end of the lesson they wrote about their classmates´ personality, it was interesting to see how they observe each other. ]]> 2018-10-19 18:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/294961574 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295495991 I realized I did not include any game so I decided for this lesson to make a Bingo game.  I told to the local teacher  that I wanted to include a game so she proposed me to make a Bingo, because after my practicum period she will continue working with meassures and a chemical project.I wanted to finish this period playing and giving them some prizes. The idea was to have a good time and enjoy the last class together. ]]> 2018-10-22 15:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295495991 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295746025 2018-10-23 01:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295746025 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295746454 2018-10-23 01:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295746454 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295747085 2018-10-23 01:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295747085 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295747482 2018-10-23 01:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295747482 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295747762 2018-10-23 01:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295747762 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295748102 2018-10-23 01:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295748102 gasto_jara https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295748603 2018-10-23 01:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gasto_jara/te2mh7kc5ryj/wish/295748603
