My Experience in Teaching Practicum I


Class 4



Date: 28th of September
Group Members: Jouse,  Heinar, Andrés and Ronald.
Topic: Toys
Part 1  Josue, Heinar,
Grammar: I have / I don’t have
Vocabulary to present: Bike, teddy bear, plane, car, doll.




During the first part of the class, what we like the most was all the activities that josue did such as, playing with the die, throwing the ball and  hot potatoe. Children really loved the activities and even Briseida was participating, and josue didn´t let her to get distracted, because all the activities promoted interaction and since the topic for the lesson were toys/games they really liked that topic and they learned the pronunciation of , Bike, teddy bear, plane, car and doll, quickly. Also, what we liked is that they learned while playing, and all the activities required Ss to talk and to do something, which was something great. We also liked how Heynar broke the ice at the beginning of the lesson, by having them working on a puzzle. We thought that It wasn´t going to work, but actually it worked very well. Finally, all your activities were really appealing to children, especially the one with the “arrow” that was so funny and in that way all Ss could participate.


Part 2 Andrés and Ronald.
Grammar: Question. Do you have?   Answer: Yes, I do.  No, I don’t. 
Vocabulary to present: ball, kite, train and robot




What we liked about the second part of the lesson is that it didn´t lose the track of the first part. It means that it promoted interaction as well, and the activity we liked the most is that one in which children had to run in order to touch  the toys that were pasted on the wall. We all know that children really love running and it was nice that teachers took into account that. Another, activity that we liked the most is the one in which Ss had to throw the ball into the hoop. We had never seen that activity during a class and it worked really well. I was willing to participate too. Finally, all the activities were very nice and promoted interaction. The only thing you could have improved is that in some parts of the lesson (especially the second part) instructions were too long and that´s why at the beginning of the activities students seemed not to understand, but at the end with some practice they could make it.

Good job guys!

  1. Hello Konny& Marle! Thank you so much for your feedback!
    We also enjoyed the activities that Josue did, I think that he had a great classroom management. It is great to include all the students in the activities since they have been designed for all of them, and not just for a certain part of the group. I think that Miss Yanny clould not have said it better: "We should keep an eye for the class and the other for the kid that challenges us"
    Thank you again for your comments!

  2. Thank you for the feed back Konny. It's good to keep highliting the things we have to improve and giving insturctions is a problem that most of the class need to improve.

    I know the next practicum will be better.
