The last class that i taught at Don Bosco School

The last friday, October 13th Gaby's group started the class with the listening skill that i know that is hard to teach because some children do not care about what they heard from an audio. Gaby started with the warm up activity in which she asked them question with present perfect topic this activity help to us to know what students like. Also, she presented to them some draws that i think was the vocabulary the group was presented. 
My classmate Nathaly did the during activity in which she played three time the audio and gave to students a worksheet to completed after they heard the audio also she gave them pieces of paper and students matching correctly and she checked the activities from students.
My classmate Mary did the post activity in which students draw something reference to the pictures that they presented. Besides, She did the wrap up activity that was a bingo unfortunately Mary finished the class a little bit late, but the group made a good job at the begining Gaby look nervous trying to control the kids, but she could do it. Also, Mary looked a little bit angry because kids were not paying attention, but she control them fast with her strong tone of voice. 

This time was my turn to teach a new group of students and unfortunately my classmate yesenia was sick for that reason my classmate Liliana and me gave the class and  move some activities that yesenia was going to do. I recognize that during the first group was giving the class i am thoght how to work with this new group of students because sometimes they did not pay attention, but thank to God manage to control them. Moreover, we taught reading skill and i recognize too that is a difficult lesson to develop. 
My classmate Liliana started the class made a warm up activity in which students did a puzzle with the heroes from the story that we were presented. I like the way in which Lili develop that activity because this time i saw her more comfortable with her job.
 In the pre-stages,she presented the heroes from the story and show them some verbs present perfect to describe their characteristics. Then, she gave them the verbs and students paste in the correct heroe according to the teacher show them before. Moreover, she read the story for them at the begining students were uncontrollable because they did not pay attetion to her, but when she asked them that they were going to read some parts of the story, students started to pay attention.

I  did the during stage in which i asked them that they need to got a tittle for the story and to they understand me asked them what is the story about and faster one of them told me the first tittle that i wrote on the board was the correct one. Besides, i gave them the story in  some pieces of paper and students made it correctly and some of them did it quickly. In the last during i gave them a worksheet with true or false staments from the story and i checked with them.

In the post activity i gave them another worksheet, but with some heroes of the story and students were going to write a little characterictis that they remember from the story. For the wrap up activity i made a circle with the deskes and gave to them a fishing rod and students fish the characteristics that the teacher asked them that were on the floor. Children enjoy this activity, but because of the time did mot ask them all the characteristics that i throw on the floor.

To conclude we never stop learning despite of there was our last class we can find the opportunity to teach again it was a great experience at the Don Bosco school. Moreover, according to brown, "sensory input os one of the most important factors"(112) because it is important that as a future teacher take into account this factor at the moment to create activities in class. Also, teachers need to be crative with the classroom activities, in this way, students feel more motivated.
