October 6th, 2017.

On this Friday my group was the first who taught vocabulary. It was about "My past vacation''. Before we started with the class, we began to inflate the balloons which had pictures and labels of the vocabulary inside and we hang them with wool on the ceiling. Then Fatima asked to each student to explode two balloons and matched the pictures with the labels, so then, pasted them on the board. Students really like this activity because it called their attention, maybe they have not seen activities like that in their normal classes.

Then, Fatima checked if they matched correctly and actually they did it well. So, she started with the presentation of the vocabulary (went to the beach, went camping, climbed a mountain, rode on a roller coaster, visited my grandpas, etc.) and practiced the pronunciation with the kids.

After that, Diego divided them in two groups and made two obstacle tracks using cones to each group. Also he gave some sheets with words so they have to followed the obstacle tracks in order to pasted those words in a poster of missing words that was on the board. Students were making a competition to see which group finished first. The enjoyed while doing that and practiced the verbs and the complement of each phrase.

Then, I formed three groups by providing them a paper with random number.

I provided to each group a container which had bags with scramble phrases inside, and I put them in the classroom platform, so students had to stand up and took a bag and returned to their desks to put the sentences in order. After that, they had to run to a poster that were pasted on the walls, which had been assigned before to write the phrase they had formed. This activity was very  kinesthetic for them and they were practicing how to write the vocabulary phrases.

Next, Diego gave to them some pages, so  students wrote some sentences about what they did their past vacation. Then, Diego asked them to stand up and formed two circles in order to make a carousel activity, which consists that one circle is inside the other; so the teacher asked them to roll and until he said ''stop'', the students shared what they did their past vacation with the person who was in front of he/she.

Sorry, But I had not taken photos.

Unfortunately, the time was not enough, so we could not do the wrap-up, which was about a ''Bingo activity'', but I am sure that the kids understood the topic very well and had fun too. Our inconvenient was that the practice activities were too long, so we could not cover everything we had prepared, but we reached our goal.

The second was Rocio' group who taught about ''My past vacation'' and their skill was ''Grammar''. This group is composed by Rocio, Katy and Beatriz. 

Rocio started the class with a nice activity. She divided them in two groups and  showed a page with some pictures like cloud, sun, tree, bird, flower, etc. And put a page on a desks, which had the same pictures with more quantity, for example, three birds, one tree, four flowers, etc. So, she asked them ''What

color is the ____?'' or ''How many _____ are on the page?'', so one student per each group had to run until the desk and looked for the picture they were asked and wrote on the board the answer. The one who answered first got a point.

Then she started with the presentation. She divided the board; on the right side she put the regulars verbs with their base form and on the left side the irregulars verbs with their base form. Then, she showed the pictures to the students and asked them '' What is she/he doing'', and the students answered her. Besides, she practiced the pronunciation with the children. After that, to presented the verbs in past. She asked them ''How can we say ____ in past?'' and showed the labels with the verbs in past and put them next to the verbs in base form and practiced the pronunciation again. Also, she provided them examples of sentences.  

In the first practice, Beatriz provided them a worksheet of scrambles sentences, where they had to put in order the sentences. Students did it well.

Then in the second practice, She divided them in two groups and gave a marker to each group. She was showing to them the verbs in base form, so one per each group had to write the verb in past. The group who did it well got a point. Some of them did not remember very well the spelling of the verbs, but they had an idea.

 Then, In the production stage, Katy formed two groups and gave to each group a table game similar to of candy' crush game, some pictures and a dice. Each student put something that represented them, like a coin. Each time they rolled the dice they had to move to the corresponding space and went they landed in the ''stop'' square, they had to take a picture and answered ''What did you do in your past vacation?''.

Finally, they did a mingle activity. Katy provided them some pictures, so they asked the question ''What did you do in your past vacation?''to three different classmates, and they were answering according to what the picture represented.

Since I saw that they were presenting regulars and irregular verbs an their base form too, I thought the kids would not understand, instead of that, the teachers in charge would confused them, but they really understand the differences between the two kind of verbs.
