 Tutor´s name: Guadalupe Tobar                                   Level: Intermediate I

 Topic: Passive Voice

                                                     

To start the class, I developed a warm up  called"The Hot dice", I asked students to make a big circle, and then asked them to pass the dice and when the music stops playing, the student who gets the dice will roll it and the student will create a sentence using one form of using infinitives and gerunds. I noticed that they had fun during this activity and all the students participated helping each other.

Later, I continued with a reading/listening activity in which students had to read and listen to a conversation.Then, have students repeat I asked them to practice the conversation in pairs. During the students were developing the activity. I observed that these students gave their best in every activity and they payed attention to pronunciation.

To continue, I explained grammar again, but I felt able to do it, the topic  was the passive voice, for this I also provide many examples. Students were quiet and paying attention in all the explanation and even they asked some questions related with the topic. I noticed that they had interesting in the class. 

In the next activity, I asked the students to fill in the blanks and complete the sentences using infinitives, while giving some minutes and after check the exercises. I asked them to change some sentences from active to passive voice. 

For the last activity, I asked students to make pairs and  try to guess the answers to the questions and give reasons why they considered if there were true or false. I observed that the students were exciting when they were discussing the questions. While I was monitoring them, I noticed that they had fun and they talked a lot about the topic, and that was the purpose of this activity.

Finally, I gave a prize to the group who had more correct answers. All the groups or pairs were activated and participated trying to guess the correct answer even they didn´t know that I would give the ma prize. 

I consider that my second class it was successful as the first one; However, my tutor told m that I had to improve some things that I didn´t notice when I was developing my teaching practice.
