Group 5 and 6

Hello, welcome back again, this week we teached the group 5 and 6. It was a time for my group 2, we had a great presentation, so lets begin to analize it.

Group 5

This group was started the warm-up by Miriam with the dynamic activity using some "knots". The students engaged with the teachers and we create this confident environment, in the case I was participating as other student of them. It was a pleasure to me being part of the students who were participated with the others and the game was about the time of the clocks, so they focused the hours and minutes, so we practiced with other classmates talking about the time and we ask to the other: what time is it ? Marie was asking us to check down our desks and she put in all our desks a piece of paper that was taped. It has some questions and we also answered what we have seen in the board that was related by the activity. We have a creative cardboard clock which help us to point out the time and share the answers with the rest of the my partners. We have the opportunity to answer the questions and discuss it with the others. At the end of this class Miriam had an activity of Bingo, it was about to give the answer of who has the first drawing and the student who completes one line first would win.

It was nice to listen to them and I was agree being their students because I have been participated and I wish it can repeat with the other 2 groups. It was nice to work and participate with them.

Group 6

So this was my group and we start an intro about the topic "there is" and "there are" in Spanish so the students had ideas of the real use asking themselves questions about something that there was in the classroom. Then some of my partners expalined the topic that even add how to get a presentations and it was about the present, the past and future. We were able to engage and guide the students to have a neutral voice and were able to answer the clarify questions. We must only used the Grammar and we were gaving the examples of many practices, we suggested them to talk with the others and we clarify some words if it was singular, plural, past, present or future. At the end of the class I closed the class asking to them to what they had learn recently, so they must remembered from the current class what they feel easy and they talked about what they have seem arounf the classroom.

It was a pleasure work as a teacher, I feel excited having the rubric as a teacher and teach to the students all the sentences and verbs, I listened how they have been participated at the case we had an intervention, by the other way it was nice to have Rolando Carbajal in these class and have him as my student because I met him since he was a kid and he is my invited friend at the English class of Didactics and he is always welcomed, and most of my partners were agree having him as a student and if I mention him is because I asked to him something about the class and this presentation was unforgetable.

See you at the next and last class, it will be a pleasure being there. Goodbye. 

Group 3 and Group 4.

Hello everybody, this is the blog where i am going to talk about what had teached the group 3 and 4.

Group 3

Joshua began with the recap of the simple structure and the students were able to remind and know again how they will use it and the right time to use it.

Then, Jonathan said that he was ill and he was talking like one teacher that was sick because he must say that, so Juanatan showed some pictures in a presentation of some vocabulary of some of the activities that we use to work and show to the other students how to learn. He showed the vocabulary about all the holidays and he explained many things about that because the use the simple present to discover their routines of any of those days what they have planned.

Then Brenda provided a worksheet to them where they had to answer some questions about the audio that they were listening and even though they had a technical problems that they solved and the students must answered with other options, and it was nice listening to her.

Then, Rodrigo made another activity similar to the previous one, it was the continuation of their routines on the holidays and they practice with a partner in pairs speaking in 30 seconds, so he did it great and it was very trusty how he guide to the students, so they made a lots of activities of what he made before with other partners.

At the end of the presentation, Joshua prepared a dynamic activity about memorizing to each person to repeat what they said in the other activities and they add other more to help them to learn more and memorize the structure of the first and third person.

Group 4.

They began to play the baby shark song to select volunteers and they asked them some questions like: What do you do at night ? what time do you wake up? etcetera.

They focussed a video about a girls routine was played and they stopped the video for check the vocabulary that was mentioned by the people of how they are expressing.

At the begining from this activity, they were suggested to answer a worksheet where they had a reading activity and they must analyze what they read and what they understood, so they gave the answers in the worksheet and since it was reading activity of what they foccused and they took and extra time to perform this activty and they completed successfully.

At the end of the class, they picked a paper that contained a routine of someone else and they read it loudly and they ended practicing their reading and pronuntiation skills and repeat it together.

It was a pleasure listening to this group too because they did it brilliant and both of group did it excellent so I suppose that we are going to work as a teacher in some of the seasons in the future and we are preparings to have that rubrics in the future.

Thats all for that class, I hope all of you will stay in the next one and I will teach in the next one because its my group and I will give other rubrics of how to teach each students, thanks a lot and see you in the next one.

This group began to make a Charade activity of how to support students to get an easy way leading a good environment with the class. They began about the Daily Routines with the vocabulary with Frecuency Adverbs followed by a practice on paper about the adverbs. Then, they involved the student interaction with the frecuency adverbs where they wrote the routines and the made a review about it.

It was nice listening to them and the acticties were undertood about all of us.

Group 2

After the break they started to defend, they talk about all the rubrics from the main method, it was about the simple present in the negative form of the sentences with some practices. They have play with the students one game that it was very interesting to me and it calls the attention a lot, its one program that it was sponsore to Willie Maldonado to 2010 since all the year 2014 and it had 4 seasons, the game was about "Who Wants To Be Millonarie", but it wasnt the same as we have seen some years ago in the channel 4, it had other rubrics, so it just have question of sentences and it was so much fun the game because the students did it well as a good aspirant and only one of then make mistakes. Each student who answered the correct questions won a chocolate coin, the activity was created by wardwall to have an excellent interactions with the students, they did it great, son the end of this class was about finishing the game and it was only focused in the grammar with many great ideas and it was the most relevant class that I have seen before since it was the first time that on of my invited friends participated there his first time.

Well the class was unforgetable and it was a pleasure to stay here and to received a friend who was his first time that he came as a student in didactics class, see you at the next one. It was brilliant.

I hope you will feel good listening my opinions of this class. Bye bye.

Then, they began to work with the grammar explanation of the negative form of a verb and eventually it was a quick practice. So, they needed to ask to students by students what they understand, so Keneth was charged to show other more examples and he gaves some points of view since they read an activity and they shared the answers.Well I ended with the wrap-up asking to the students how they felt about the class, what did they learned and what they understood, so finally I asked them to tell us what is all what they are looking around the classroom, so I feel proud of working as a teacher in my first time of the class and it was fantastic to me asking them what they learn and it was the most important part that I analized at the end of the debate. 

It was a pleasure to me working as a teacher and have all my energies to ask them how they feel, so see you on the next time, it could be brilliant, I hope you will like it. Thanks a lot and bye bye.

Dr. Nelson López Rojas conference

 Hi, welcome back again, in this blog Im going to analice how I passed in the conference talked by Dr. Nelson López Rojas.

The last week we were in the celebration about The Translators and Interpreter, and I have seen many different activities that calls me the attention to do and teach to others how to work on it, so I was agree listening something new to know and this day Daniela and Nathaly where interpretating what the Dr Nelson was defending, but talking more details about that day, I ate a good snack and all it was right when Mr Nelson was foccusing the presentations about some kinds of translation and many of them I used to known it before.

Other topics that he talked were more interesting to know, he was explaining about the introduction of the lectures and when how it can be the plans to translate it, many students had participated and he gave us one piece of paper to write some questions, and I asked the difference about the literal translation with the natural translation since the others made other different questions related about the translation. He explained the process of all his greatest translations that he made, it was very interesting to me and I liked it beacuse I think I will work on a company where they can suggest me to do similar things of what he has done, surely it will be useful to me in every different activities about the translation and interpretation.

For example, Tales of Clay wrote it by Salarrué is the most known poem in El Salvador and it was characterized by many specific words, he told us how he translated it, he take it in English to translate it into a Standard Spanish, he decode all that the author meant with many different specific words.

It was a pleasure to me stay in Mr. Nelson´s conference, since other students where seing him by zoom, but I prefered staying there presential, it was very interesting to me because Mr Nelson was my teacher before, he teached me to work on quia when we do the quiz, he teached me to participate filming in many other programs like the vocaroo when we film our voice what opinions we are giving, he was my teacher in the subject name called North American History and I made one debate on zoom and I invited some friend and all was right, we talked about The Americans, The Quaker and many more things, also we commented in some youtube videos giving some opinions about what I could understand and what calls me the attention about the topic of the video, so thats all what I did with him and I consider that it was my favorite meaning where I stay present and surely many of the other students enjoy it too, we feel agree staying in this conference.

Finally, I used to go up the classroom to see the debates of the group 5 and 6, I listened the last part of that because we I approached to stay in the conference of the master Nelson Lopez, I took some pictures about that too but in this blog I just prefer focussing the conference because it was my favorite and its an homage of reminding that he was my teacher before and I feel nice being his student and I got excellents grades with him usually, I always considered him a good teacher and he grade as fair as it belongs.

Thats all for all, see you on the next one, it will be about my debate because in this week im going to defend and I have the faith that all be right, thanks. Goodbye.
