Hi, this was my second chance to teach. Uff, I'm almost done. Also, I decided to record my class because I think I have to be prepared in advance. I was worried because the part of the lesson plan I had to teach was really short and easy to be covered by the students.
I arrived ten minutes before to the classroom in order to prepare my material and to look for a place where to put the camera. The classroom is small, so I had to put the camera on a window; it was OK in that place because it had a good angle of vision. The teacher arrived and it was my time to start. I started the class with "The broken telephone"; I chose that game because it helps the student to exercise their communicative abilities. I got really surprised because the second message I sent got intact until the last student! I guess that has never happened before... jejeje. After that, students had to work in some fill-in-the-blanks exercises; I was worried because they finished very fast; actually, the exercise was sooooo easy. Well, after that my planning included another exercise of that kind, but I prepared it different. I made them stand up and make two lines in front of the board; I had pasted some papers on the board; in one of them I had written "Have" and in the other I wrote Has, but in addition I pasted more papers with words and drawings related to the sentences they had to complete. I showed the incomplete sentence to them and they had to pick up either the paper with "have" or the paper with "has" and also the drawing or word related to the sentence; I assigned 3 points to the first paper and 1 point to the second. It was a nice activity because it was a different way to present a fill-in-blanks exercise; also my teacher liked it. Then I still had 10 more minutes, so I made them work on the book. I can say I enjoyed this class although I was about to finish early. Also, I got my video and that is very important because I don't need to worry about that anymore. My grade was good.
So nice! You do not have to worry too much as you said. I do not want to record my class :(
