My first official lesson

Well today I finally did my first lesson. It was just a 25 minute word work lesson, but it was more than enough for me. Everything went ok but I learned that saying the lesson in the shower before school is totally different than saying it in front of 30 10 year olds. My teacher told me that I need to slow down and let them come up with the answers. I also caught myself not giving students enough think time. That will be my goal for tomorrow.

  1. What a good way to set a goal! Yes, it is a lot easier to say it than teach it. You have to be prepared for anything to happen. Don't forget to be reading the text to see how it is relevant (or not) to your teaching situation.
