First DAPA Last Period

Describe  April 29th, today I taught my first class to the students from Intermediate English II. The topic that I present was the adjectives clauses using WHO and THAT. I started with a warm up related with the topic and the procedure was great. Then I developed activities in which the students were most of the time interacting. I could see that they enjoyed interactive activities because they like to talk a lot. However, I notice some students do not like to stand up and I think it is because they feel kind of laziness in the early morning because the class is at 6:45. It mostly happens in the warm up. The activity that I enjoyed the most was Who am I? the procedure was the following. I pasted some nouns in their backs. The person who received the noun had to ask to the rest of the students Who am I? and the rest must describe the object, food, or person with the commands that were: You are a object that.. You a are a person who... or You are something that... It was nice to see all of them explaining and trying to guess the noun.

I notice their lazy face when I asked them to stand up for the warm up. It seemed that they were forced to leave their sits for a moment.	Based on what I already know, warm ups help students to activate their body and to have a dynamic time before getting the input.	Next time I will implement kinesthetic warm ups or activities that helps students to activate their body because most of them get up early in the morning, that means they are still kind of sleepy.
Most of my activities were interactive. I decided to implement those activities because the topic allow me to use them, and because I know some students are shy when interacting with the teacher and they prefer to interact with their classmate. So, it is a good way to have those students using the language.	According to what I have learned, Interactive activities allow shy students to participate because they avoid feeling afraid of making mistakes in front of the entire class. Also it is a good way to keep students focus in the learning because they do not get distracted easily but talking with their classmates about a certain topic using the target language.	Next time I will try to include as much interactive activities as I can because is the only way that students use the language orally. I know some of them are shy and teachers must create opportunities for those students to practice orally.
In this lesson I could see my students with a good level of engagement and I think it was because of the activities. They were participating, laughing, talking in every activity.	Based on what I know, engagement is an important factor for students to internalize the learning.	In future lessons I will care about my students´ engagement because is the key point to have a significative lesson.
