During this week, I had the
chance to teach only the Basic English ll group because on Wednesday there was
an advisory activity from the English Language Teaching program. Therefore, I
planned some activities regarding the use of the infinitive for the class.
The class started with a grammar-focused exercise in which students had
to answer some questions in a powerpoint presentation. They had to choose one
of the options and identify the use of
the infinitive. The exercise was pretty well developed because they knew already
the rules regarding the infinitives. However, there were some students who were
not aware of the functions that infinitives have, thus the exercise was helpful
to remind them of the use of this grammar
feature.
I taught the lesson in the way I
had planned it. The only thing I would change would be the part of developing
the answers for the reading exercise about a “Terrific cook” because maybe the way,
in which the answers were checked was somewhat messy since some of them were
talking, others were reading the answers…
The next day I did not have the
chance to teach classes with the other two groups so I saved the lesson plan
that I had designed for them for the next week. However, I think next week is
the 10th week of the semester, which means “Tests”. I do not know if there is going to be class
normally.
On Friday, I had the chance to do
my first intervention regarding my innovation plan. I did a questionnaire
regarding writing skills. My intention was to provide my mini-investigation
with the rationale for my project. In that sense, students filled out a format
with some questions in which they must answer with yes, no, or sometimes. Then,
there were some open questions and they must write what they thought about
writing, their feelings, and their strategies, among others.
