MY THIRD CLASS

Well, this was a new experience for me. I had to start the class, but the teacher was out of the classroom, and I wanted to ask him about the Cd for the listening activity that I had prepared and that he had to bring. The teacher told me “start the class,” and I was wondering if he was going to give me the Cd. 

I started the class, and we had a great warm up. I enjoyed it a lot, and I am sure that students did it too, but I was still thinking about the Cd jiji.

I developed my agenda and when I arrived to the listening part, I asked the teacher “do you have the Cd?” He told me “avoid the listening, just continue.” In that moment, I felt something hot in all my body because I had prepared around 4 activities for that listening, and I had divided the time per each one. 

In my agenda, after the listening, I had just a mini debate, so I decided to go ahead with that activity. The debate was great for me, but I had to add questions that I hadn´t planned to ask. That situation made me talk more than what I had planned. The thing is that I had to use the time of the activities that I couldn´t develop. I am sure that students enjoyed the activity, but I didn´t want it to be like that. 

In the feedback, the teacher told me that in debates I don´t have to talk too much because the purpose is that students talk. In that moment, I felt something hot again, and I explained him that I had to do that because he didn´t give me the Cd for the listening.

Fortunately, I survived and any student realized that I was in a pickle. 

Thanks Lord!
