Today we had ourselves videotaped. We were all nervous in class and spent every minute practicing our grammar points and introductions. We went over to the other classroom (out of the glare) and we each got to present our grammar points in front of the camera. I’ll put up a link when they make it available.
Afterwards, I taught my one student again, we reviewed adverbs and adjectives and then had a few conversations to try and get the idea of how we show interest in English across. I think it went pretty well. Tomorrow we’ll start a new lesson and then it’s the weekend!
I went to watch the sunset on the beach right behind my apartment. There was a girl sitting out near the water with her little dachshund puppy. I enjoyed watching it running around and having so much fun.
It was a beautiful sunset, the tide was low today so I didn’t get soaked like last time. It was nice, with a little breeze and watching the sailboats, birds and the little puppy on the beach. Puerto Vallarta really is a great place to spend time. I could definitely see myself staying here for a while. 🙂
You made it through the videotaping! It sounds like you are feeling pretty confident about it. That’s good! So glad!
Not really confident, just resigned. I ALWAYS look so horrible in photos, not any better in video. I just figured there’s nothing I can do about it, so let it be.
The teaching is getting easier, mostly because I’ve had the same class and there’s only been 1 girl coming all week.
Today will be my 8th practice, so only 2 more to go next week. I expect they’ll give me a different class. That’s harder. I have to do a lot more work on my lesson plan and I have no idea who my students are so it’s harder to make conversation.
