First Class-Third Period

 Tutor´s name: Guadalupe Tobar                                  Level: Intermediate I

 Topic: Infinitives 

To beginning the class, students made a dynamic called"Pass the ball", I asked students to make a big circle, and then asked them to pass the ball and when the music stops playing, the student who gets the ball, will create a one sentence using one form of using infinitives based on what they already studied in class the previous class.

Then, I continued with the presentation, for this I developed a reading/listening . First, students read and listen to a conversation.Then, have students repeat each line, After students reading and listening the conversation, I  asked them: What do they enjoy doing? What is boring or exciting for them? Between other questions using different adjectives in order to provide them more vocabulary. Is it expensive? Is he going shopping later? Finally, I asked them to practice the conversation in pairs. During the students were developing the activity, I was monitoring their work.

In addition, I continued with grammar explanation about infinitives and their usages and providing examples. In this activity students were paying attention and I made CCQ in order to check if they understood. I asked some students to provide other examples and many of them were participating even it was grammar explanation.

For developing the control practice, I asked students to fill in the blanks in the sentences using the list of infinitives in the box. After giving them some minutes, I asked them to read aloud their sentences in order to check their work.

To continue with the semi-practice , I asked student to make pairs, then, students A and student B were going to take turns to ask and answer a list of questions. Then, I asked students to talk about their answers.

Finally, for the free practice, I asked students to stand up and discuss some questions with their classmates.

I consider that my first class it was one of the best one, because I introduced myself to my students and could generate good communication with them. Also, I could observe that they were participating in all the activities and they had good attitude during the whole class.

In the feedback, the teacher just told me that it was good and she told me that I made some little mistakes, but anyways, I felt so proud of how I improved my teaching at this time.
