My third teaching class/ 2nd Period, 2nd
term 2014

This is my third class in the second period. I felt
satisfied that although it was hard for me I believe that I did my best. I started
with a warm up, the broken telephone. I made a semicircle with the desks and
asked the students to sit down on them. I whispered a sentence to the student
in one end, and he had to pass it on to the rest. I whispered two sentences,
and the student in the other end had to write the sentences in the board. They
spent over four minutes doing this.
After that activity, I started the topic that was the
pronouns even when I was going to explain the indefinite pronouns. I started by giving a definition of pronouns,
and I gave a couple of examples. Afterwards, I explained to the students that
there are several kinds of pronouns, and I showed to them a chart that I did
with some categories of pronouns. In the chart, there were subject pronoun,
object pronoun, possessive pronoun, and reflexive pronoun. I explained to the
students every category, and I gave examples, as well. I took about 15 minutes
to explain the chart.
Then, I pass to explain the indefinite pronouns category.
I also gave the meaning, some examples and, then they practiced. I explained to
the students what indefinite pronouns to use for affirmative statements, for
negative statement and for questions.
Finally, the students were going to make a mini-presentation.
I asked them to make three groups, and I gave a piece of paper. They were going
to present and explain what indefinite pronoun in each statement whether affirmative,
negative or questions. I assign one statement to each group, and they had to
give some examples. I think they did it well, and in this way, I finished my
class listening to the students explaining what they had learned.
