Two sample lesson plans that I liked and why

Lesson plan 1   Past tense (12th October)   I liked it because students enjoyed to remember their childhood, The class was didactic and useful, we learn on a new expression for talking about past and they used it in a correct way, the goal of the lesson was achieving…. Lesson plan 2   “ Future with going to and will”   31 st October I had a good day with this group, though they have different levels they try to help each other… They did a good exercise with camping trip they worked together and they were able to speak on future plans…

Two sample lesson plans that were particularly difficult and why

“Part of speech” 1 st November This lesson plan was difficult because I found the explanation confused, I had explained it before but in real enviroments but virtual was hard… I think that students had doubts. In some moments of the meeting I did not know the answer. "Modal verbs" This lesson was large because there are different modal verbs with different use but in the same way with the same goal, for this reason this topic also was hard to explain because sometime all modal verbs can be using and I did have the clear definition about some modal verbs, for example might and may the meaning is the same but there are rules that say us what is the correct… small details that in some   moments I could explain because I did not have the correct words for explain the situation.

Sometimes students told me that they didn´t understand the activity ,in those moments I realized that I was not clear and I need to prepare better my explanations… another point was my English level… in Spanish I am very shy and in English too sometimes I made some mistakes and my voice looked nervous… I believe that I need prepare better the explanations on activities, I need to be clearer… Also I need to do feedback and provide spaces where they can interact with each other.

Anecdotal records

I have a anecdotal record, that day I did my session in my sister´s house,  my niece got up early, she always sang or made strange sounds that were funny for me and for students… and other was When my sister said aloud  “you plugged the bathroom”  this was too funny but I put my microphone in silent and my face put red… the students laughed   😀
