         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today marked the beginning of my teaching practice, and as it was my first time teaching English, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. The lesson was about teaching cardinal numbers 1-30. It was a short class (45 minutes) in the morning shift, but I was pleased to see the students participating and showing enthusiasm for learning.</p><p>The class started 10 minutes later than scheduled, as the teacher in charge needed this extra time to organize the group. This unexpected delay did affect the timing of the closure of my lesson.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The second day of teaching was smoother than the first. I felt more confident and well-prepared to teach the same topic, cardinal numbers 1-30. It was interesting to note that this group has a very different dynamic in the classroom.</p><p>Additionally, I received valuable feedback and suggestions from my first class, which helped me to improve some aspects of this class. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p> Teaching two modules of 45 minutes each was a new experience for me. This time, the class focused on seasons and emotions/feelings. It was challenging to keep the students' attention during the extended class, but I managed by engaging them with the new topic using flashcards.  I was physically exhausted but content with their learning progress.</p><p>During this class, I also continued to work on my body language to explain the activities more effectively. Additionally, I had prepared a video to complement the lesson. However, I encountered an unexpected challenge, as the key to open the classroom where the TV was kept, couldn't be found, so I imitated all the feelings to convey the message effectively. It was a valuable lesson in adaptability and being resourceful when unexpected situations arise in the classroom.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today's topic was cardinal numbers, from 30 to 100. I used a song to introduce these numbers, which added a dynamic and engaging element to the class. The students actively participated, and it turned into an enjoyable lesson. The closure activity was also well-received by the students. In this activity, I used their school objects and affixed different prices, allowing them to practice the newly learned numbers in a fun and practical way. It was a satisfying class overall.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>During this class, I wanted to keep things engaging, so I added a touch of variety, like more mimics and actions, to maintain the students' interest.</p><p>Although the students could see the flashcards, I consider that they might benefit from larger-sized prints for better visibility and comprehension. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, the students from the afternoon shift started learning the affirmative and negative forms of the verb 'To be.'</p><p>I used a poster as a visual aid and  I employed mime to demonstrate the different pronouns, which helped the students interpret and understand the concepts more effectively. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>For today's class, which focused on ordinal numbers from 11 to 31, I printed the worksheet in a larger size to offer a clearer and more detailed example of the activity. This simple adjustment significantly improved the accessibility of the activity for the students, making it easier for them to engage with the material.</p><p>I observed during the closure stage that some students encountered difficulties to solve mathematical problems, but the fact that they were organized in groups to develop the activity played a crucial role in facilitating both the learning process and  a supportive classroom environment.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's class, we did a revision of pronouns and the verb 'to be'. Before moving on to the development stage, I provided a practical example of how to complete the worksheet, which added clarity and direction to the activity. The students completed the activity without any inconvenience. </p><p>In the second module, we focused on the verb 'to be' and I could notice more confidence in students doing the second activity. I really enjoyed the closure, because it was a collaborative activity in which students had to spot the mistake in different sentences.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>For today's lesson on cardinal numbers, I took the opportunity to reinforce certain aspects from my previous experience with section "B." For instance, I ensured that students understood why we add the last two letters of each number in the calendar. I also made comparisons between cardinal and ordinal numbers to enhance their comprehension further. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>Today, the lesson started with a dynamic warm-up where students threw a ball and recited numbers from 0 to 100 within one minute. When the students saw the yellow ball, they showed enthusiasm to play and participate actively.</p><p>The main activity of the lesson was a word search, where students solidified their understanding of the material.  I consider that the combination of a game in the warm-up and the engaging word search made today's lesson truly enjoyable.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In today's class, I taught the interrogative form of the verb 'to be' in the afternoon shift, a lesson that I truly enjoyed.</p><p>I used pictures as scaffolding strategies of different famous Argentine singers, which the students easily recognized. I also included a picture of the Argentine football team, that captured their interest. Building on these visuals, I developed the rest of the activity.</p><p>In the second module, during the warm-up stage, we played  "broken telephone." The students embraced this activity with enthusiasm, adding an extra layer of fun to the class. It was a rewarding teaching experience.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today's class was about the seasons of the year. Many students didn´t attend to this lesson  because they were participating in  a school event. For this class, I incorporated a wide variety of visual resources and body language to express, for example, "cold" in winter. During the closure stage, the students worked on an activity about personal information, and some of them read it aloud, which was great for further practicing their oral skills.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, the students who had been involved in a school event were present. The warm-up stage took a bit longer as students were struggling to recall the months of the year, which is understandable since not everyone learns at the same pace. In this case, I intervened by asking questions.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>Today, was my last class with section "A" so I prepared a review of the content I taught, using various games involving the television. Initially, I had to skip the routine song because the power went out, and I couldn't use the TV. The students showed a lot of enthusiasm, and it was very enjoyable. Additionally, when I mentioned that it was my last class, the students looked unhappy.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today was an emotional class. When the students saw me enter the classroom, they greeted me with a warm round of applause, a gesture that deeply moved me. It was a highly meaningful class, and the students enjoyed the activities immensely. At the end of the class, I also received a rose from two students with a note expressing how much they appreciate me.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today was a bittersweet moment, as it marked the end of my teaching practice journey. The students' progress was evident, and it was rewarding to see how far they have come.</p><p><br></p><p>I had prepared the first module for the class based on an art and craft activity. The students were excited about the idea of making a skeleton, and they engaged with enthusiasm. However, our class started 10 minutes later than planned due to external factors. Despite the delay, the students  embraced the activity, and their creativity shone through as they worked on their craft task. This gesture reinforced the bonds we had formed, and it was a fitting and memorable conclusion to my teaching experience. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and fulfilment as I concluded this chapter of my teaching journey.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>
