What a class today!

;0)

I can say today's class was a true accomplishment in that it was my last one and in that I tried to make the best of it! Micaela and me are undeniably tired...! You know..university classes, exams, interviews and teaching practicum..! This keeps on being a real challenge and will continue being so till Friday!

However, there are too many things positive worth considering. We achieved that students WORK in class and that they feel interested in the topic. Students showed themselves enthusiastically involved in the task "writing an e-mail to apply for a job position"...Teenagers getting involved in so boring a task??? Well..YES!! Our teachers provided us with great ideas to make students feel close to the task..a task that normally sounds really boring. The recipe was to provide students with job positions like..."cultural events organizer" or..."Trip planner"..among others. Positions that are common in a school setting and that will be found in a Students council.

There is one important thing I must keep on improving and that's ..my use of the blackboard. As I clearly understood today is "the task of the teacher is to facilitate student's learning". And learning how to manage with the blackboard in an organized way is going one step further towards that task!!
