Today I began the new challenge, a difficult one. For those who are enjoying this period congratulations. I hope you do not face the same luck I had this period. I am not telling that I am not enjoying the new challenge, but this one is very hard and not because of the level but because my new tutor is kind of demanding. This time I don't think my grades are going to be so good, and now I can understand Sonita.
But I am still thinking this could be a great oportunity for me to know how capable I am to face adversities. My grades may not be so good but I am sure that there are going to be many things to learn from this experience.
Today, I felt very sick, but anyway I had to teach so I arrived one hour earlier to the classroom. I wanted to prepared everything, but it was kind of impossible because there was another class before mine on that classroom. I had just 15 minutes to arrange the desks and all the stuff I was going to use for my class. Students started to arrived and I was still pasting the material. Then, the teacher arrived and some minutes later I begam.
I used a warm up to review the grammar explanation the teacher had gave them previously. I notice everybody liked it since evrybory was laughing, even the teacher (and I thought: "Great! the teacher liked my activity, one point on my favor". Then I continued reviewing the topic, but the teacher told me that I should not make too much emphasis on the explanation because then students may get confused. After that, I carried out a chart with the practice. We started resolving the exercise together, and then I ask them to copy it on their notebooks. The teacher told me that I should have done it differently. He told that it could have been better to make them write the exercises first in thei notebooks, and then we could resolve it together. I think both ways are ok, but anyway he is the boss right now, so I can only say "AMEN"
This time I was not nervous. I was worried because I got the lesson yesterday night and I had some doubts. Fortunatelly, the teacher arrived some minutes before the class so I could ask. I hope next time will be better...
Mriss!! now you now what i went through last period but same happened to me the 1st time and somehow i felt hurt but little by little i was improving a bit, i know you`re capable to show ur tutor that you have the strenght to move forward!! i know that you`re a good teacher and i also learnt that things not always go the way we want and people may not always be willing to give you a hand in a row but im pretty sure that this challenge will help you grow as it did to me !!!
ReplyDeletejus dont give up mriss tKm
I know you will do it well because you always try to do the things as best as you can. You will see that this period will be OK. Don't worry.
ReplyDeleteMy advice for you chriss is that do not pay too much attention to that, and try to put it out of your mind because if not you will be always thinking about what you did wrong. You just have to do your best and feel proud about yourself because the most important thing is that students get you and learn from you. remember that we are humans and it is normal to make a mistake... just be more relax next time and do not worry about your tutor...
ReplyDeleteThanks chickens...
