Teaching Practicum 1: Teacher Fernando Canales

Topic: Insect life
Class Nº9: Vocabulary

In warm up stage teacher Fernando asked the students to look below their desks and to take a piece of paper with the name of an insect. Flashcards of the insect vocabulary were previously pasted in the board, so students have to see the piece of paper with the spelling of an insect and try to match the picture with the spelling. Some of the spellings were right, but the ones that weren't, teacher Fernando pasted in their correct image.

Furthermore, teacher focused in the pronunciation of each insect and encouraged students to pronounce them. Also students were presented with the questions: "What color is it?, What is your favorite insect?, What insect don't you like?".

Moreover, students were asked to stand up and to make a circle. They took an image of an insect and they had to asked and answer the questions presented to their next classmate.

To finish the class, students should be in two groups and one of the members of the group had to heard the insect that teacher said softly and then go to describe the insect that the teacher had said. The group that guessed more insect got a price.
