Grammar and vocabulary classes

 

Welcome to a new blog I am very excited to tell you that we have now started preparing to teach English classes.

The first practice took place on august 24, Teacher Orlando divided us into 4 groups, 2 groups taught vocabulary and 2 groups taught grammar. My group and I had to teach vocabulary so we chose medical vocabulary, after choosing the topic the next task was to prepare the lesson planning and develop it by teaching this topic to our classmates.

Here I share with you a picture of our lesson planning:

1- Warm up

Different  images related  to the hospital  will be displayed  on the screen.  

Students will be asked what elements they can identify in the images. They 

must answer aloud in English or Spanish.

2- Presentation

The target vocabulary on medical words will be shown in a presentation simulating flashcards. First a picture of the word will be shown, then the word and then the meaning, giving the context in which they can be used.

3- Practice

To familiarize themselves with the vocabulary, students will be given a sheet with a word search puzzle in which they will have to look up 8 words seen in the presentation.

4- The crazy hat game (the hot potato)

1. Students should stand up

2. The first person in line will be given a hat with some papers attached with a ribbon, this person must put the hat on, turn around and give it to the next person.

3. When the music stops, the student who has the hat must take a piece of paper with the vocabulary learned in class and make a sentence using the word. 

5- Wrap up- Matching

Students will be given a worksheet to match the vocabulary studied on the left column with the correct definition in the right column. 

Group 2- Third conditional

Group 2 taught us about the Third conditional and how it helps us talk about things that did not happen that could have happened "If..."

Structure:

If + past perfect, would/wouldn’t have + past participle.

Example: 

"If you have told me about the party, I would prepared some snacks."

Group 3- Culinary  vocabulary

Group 3 taught us culinary vocabulary which are words that help chefs and food enthusiasts to communicate easily.

Some new words I learned were:

Velouté: is a type of French sauce

Chiffonade: is a type of cutting to prepare vegetables

Group 4 - Second conditional 

Group 4 taught us about the use of the Second conditional (I admit that I had never understood this topic but their way of explaining it was so good that now I totally understood it 😅).

The second conditional is used to talk about things that are impossible or unrealistic.

Structure:

If + subject + past simple, subject + would + infinitive verb (without to)
