Today I have started teaching unit 3 of Surprise! book at year 6. Previously, I had planned the session and I decided to combine the contents from the book with extra vocabulary I looked for.
From the beginning of the lesson I have established very clear rules: the class must be in silence when I talk and if someone has a question he just has to raise his hand and I will answer. I have also talked in English most of the time of the session and I've just switched to Catalan when kids didn't really understand (I have to admit that it has happened a few times because students had good oral comprehension).
I have had a great time at today's class because I have interacted with kids and they have participated a lot. I think they have learnt the vocabulary and they have also practiced their speaking and pronunciation thanks to a tongue twister.
The only thing I haven't controlled has been the timing. The lesson was only 45 minutes because it was in the afternoon and it has started late so we have only had 35 minutes to do the activities. I prepared a game for the end of the lesson we haven't had time to play. I hope we can put it in practice another day and I would also like to control better the time.
My tutor has congratulated me at the end of the class so I want to keep going with the same methodology and doing it well.
