REFLECTIVE TEACHING

Journal 4 For the  fourth week of teaching practices, things continued normally for both classrooms with activities and class development, and those activities that were prepared for last week were brought to this week of teaching practices. One of those activities with 1002 was the socialization of a poster in which through a profession they said what things they should or should not do in that profession, as a way to make use of the vocabulary of the professions and modal verbs. Each group stood in front of all his classmates and explained their statements, although not much they talked about, they are credited that according to my practice coordinator there were some students who usually never participate and that time they did.  With the group 1004  during the week, activities such as the showing of a video by Mr Bean were made, the poster where the anecdote was written was socialized, and the present continuous was emphasized, among other things. The i...

Journal 3 For the third week, the realization of the classes did not occur because on the part of the mayor's office, they took the "Martes de Prueba" project to school precisely in the hours in which I teach, therefore my classes with 1002 were not made, besides that Friday is the other day that I give classes to the two groups, neither could be done because there was delivery of notes and 1004 students had an activity that they had to attend. So the only day available, was Wednesday to teach to 1004. With the students of 1004, they were shown a video about a man who collected plastic from the streets and made art or portraits without the use of any material for paintings and based on that I wanted a moment of conversation between everyone, which what was the main message of the video and that one could comment on it. However, it was difficult to make them speak and to do so voluntarily, although it is a participatory group, I should bring more activities o...

Journal 2  In the second week of classes, something that influences is that since there was already a previous interaction with the students, one as a teacher enters the classes with a more pleasant or close attitude with the students. During this week, as there are usually classes two days a week for each group, adding that Fridays is the day I teach the two groups, Friday classes could not be done, so only do one class per group. Group 1002, stopped working future forms and started with modal verbs, to start the class had to give a broad explanation of the subject, from its functions and purposes to then open space for them to solve exercises on the creation and organization of sentences, as well as instructions on a group work that they must present in the next class. For group 1004, they also entered with a new theme, in this case the simple past and it seemed like a good idea to bring them the song The man who sold the world of Nirvana, to understand the contex...

Journal 1 The week after making the observations, the teaching practices begin. During that week, I taught two tenth grade groups, specifically 1002 and 1004. My first class was with group 1002, I had to continue with the topic they had been seeing and they were will and going to, I decided to start with a dynamic activity that compromised vocabulary and continue later with activities of a workshop. During class, I wanted to enter in a way that did not make me be perceived by the students as the new teacher, even when I somehow felt a bit of the thorn of starting classes with a group of students that I still did not know very well, however the class concluded and I end up being a good activity for me and the students. For the next class of the week, they had to answer an evaluation, so I also observed the girls in that class in some way and in their faces I noticed that several students did not understand the subject. The class with the next group, 1004, was on Wednesday...

                                           Autobiography My full name is Zamira Sofia Mena Diaz, I am 22 years old and I am currently studying the eighth semester of my degree in English. Although this career emphasizes the English language, it really tries to teach methods and ways in which you train as a teacher. For some reason the practices are teaching practices, basically you become a teacher and taking this process that will help you face the reality of a teacher and understand the public education landscape.  English subject at school was not my forte, I remember that it was difficult for me, I did not understand anything so I resorted to the help of my friends. A big influence in the change of my English performance was the boom that I had in terms of series, realities and movies in general to content in mediatic and entertainment English that began to infl...
