my 2nd entry of my sencond teaching practicum (2nd period)

In my second class with the guys from intermediate level, I felt more comfortable with them, students showed me respect and , they participate in every single activity, I began my class telling them their names in orderto show them that I remember each name, I tried to memorize the names because I think is really important to call them by their names, after that we did a listening and comprenhension activity, they did it well and they shared their responses, I made an activity in with they have to present a book and they had to give reason why they recommend thehat book, they had to tell the tittle, the author,  and a brief explanation about the book, I developed this activity because I need to know the way in which they express their ideas in public, I continued with my class and I did explain something about the uses of the words "hope, believe, guess " they did another activity that was in the book using these words. I finish my class telling them about the topic of passive and active voice, because it was the class that the teacher have to develop in his next class.

MY FIRST TEACHING PRACTICUM IN INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH II

first of all, I would to tell you that I was really nervous about this group, because they are more boys than girls,and this causes me felt nervous, when I was in my observation class, I notice that the group has just 8 students, and this was a challenge for me because the class have to be more personalized. Something really nice was to notice that they speak in English all the time! they like to ask many questions and they participate all the time!! When I started my class I introduced myself, they wanted to know everything about me, and started to asked me many questions about the career, after that they introduce theirselves, and I tried to remember all of their names in order to call them by their names. The group is really nice, they like to do many activities and they like to write a lot, I developed my class doing many activities and I felt really confortable with the group. I brought a chart with some activities and some explanations about causative verbs. I finished with my class on time and I hope to get a good feedbach from my tutor.
