the last class with Basic English :(

 

The last day of my class with the group of basic english was so sad because i didn't want to leave this wonderful and amazing group.
I started this last class greeting my students then i continued with the warm up activity that was a game called "shout the sentence",that is about to Write some  sentences on the board and give the students one minute to memorize one of them, the students should keep their sentence secretally. Then, clean out the board and have the students find a partner, they should count 1, 2, 3 and then “shout their secret sentence to each other”, at the same time. If both students shout the same, they can sit down, if not, they will have to continue looking for another partner and shout the sentences to each other until they find someone whose sentences is the same, but I had many problems with this activity and I had to repeat the directions 3 times because the students did not understand the activity, it was a little difficult to develop because 6 or more people had the same sentences so that they did not know what to do  and it was chaos, but finally they chose a person and i could end the game.

it was so terrible, i got nervous and did not know what to do because in other occasions i did not have any problem developing the warm up activity.
 I think this kind of activities are a little bit difficult to the student of this level; also it could be the way that i developed it because i had another idea how to develop it, but i did not want to change how it was in the lesson plan.

But i know that all these experiences are part of the process and I am improving my teaching skill.
Then i develop a short reading: "Wilson's party" in order to present the topic that was the simple past tense with this activity i developed three tasks: underline the verbs in past, write 3 sentences using the simple past and pairs coversation talking about the last party they went.
Then i present a brief grammar explanation.

After all  i said bye to the group  and the teacher, and how grateful i was with them.
