Well, I had to teach my last class at the Access
program. I started the class with an activity called “mimics.” I could see that
the students enjoyed it because they were laughing a lot. We were about to
practice the use of “be going to,” so the activity was about some actions that
students were going to use in next activities. 
The presentation was in groups. In that activity,
students had to form the sentences that I was dictating. They really got
excited, and they wanted to continue, but I had to stop because of the time. 
During the practice, students worked with some
sentences that I gave them, and I could see that they understood the topic
because they did well. Almost at the end of the practice, I developed an
activity in which students had to sit back to back to describe a picture. The
end of the activity was great, but I had to face a problem, and it is that I
didn’t consider that the space was not suitable for the number of students.
When I saw that it was not enough to sit them in the same column, I had to
change the methodology and put some students in one side and others in another
one. It was more difficult for me because I had to move, and there was no
space. 
 
At the end, I talked to the students to encourage them
to take advantage of the program because that is an amazing opportunity.  Most of them told me beautiful things such as
“we are going to miss you teacher,” “please, come and visit us, “and I felt
very happy. I think I will miss that group mmmmmmm.
Thanks Lord! 
Despite having faced the space constraint, it's really positive that you managed to fix the unexpected problem at the moment and carry on with the activity. Your activities are creative, which seems to be appreciated by students.
