Activities in the classroom (Essay)

Escuela Secundaria "Mariano Matamoros"

I returned to work again with the students of first grade, actually I had to teach three lessons but the truth is that unfortunately I could not because there was a national test, so at least I could give a lesson. It was again about the 4th unit: Daily life


I used this wall-chart in order to explain the activities that are related to a daily routine but using percentages because they catch easily the idea..
Then we followed working with a text that introduced the main topic: frequency adverbs. So, it was easy to do another activity that reinforced their learning.




The worksheet was easy to understand for students, it was basic because they just had to organize the activity and also I ask them to work with a partner in order to ask them about their daily routine. At the end, they share with the rest of the class their short dialogues.

I return to teach again in this school because I was wondering about the learning of the students, specifically if I did it correctly. So, I had to teach three lessons about unit: 4 Daily life.
  So I use some material that could be useful, actually it was an interesting tool that I made in order to maintain the attention of the students.

I used this wall-chart in order to explain the activities that are related to a daily routine but at the very beginning, I ask to some ideas according to the pictures on the wall-chart, they were participating giving clues about the activities. Actually, I used this wall-chart as a reference to introduce the main topic.


Then, I used this table in order to explain the frequency adverbs, I choose to present with percentages because I noticed that they could remember easily, they can identify by the number an as soon as they got the idea they immediately say the correct frequency adverb. In fact, I used a cd player in order to reinforce the language and to focus in pronunciation.



Other activities were conversation, students were working in pairs in order to ask some questions about their daily activities and week routine. Evidently they could not pronounced correctly but they try to use the phrases.


 At the end we worked together in their textbook, in order to guess an unknown character and actually, they could remember and infering the daily activities of that character. In fact, I summarized the whole topic in this activity and the truth is that they learned appropriately.
