Despite the class was very successful, I admit that I was nervous when the
loudspeaker did not function properly. Anyway we could listen to the video and
students’ reaction was positive. In the first group – 6th D – some students like
Juan, Matias and Gianluca tend to call the attention from the rest, but it is a
behaviour that I relate with the sitting arrangements they have in that classroom
– as Estela mentioned. On Thursdays, this group behaves in a different way but
they sit in pair in the other classroom.
Particularly Juan Francisco reacted in a negative way when the video started, I
nominalized him and asked to quiet down but he made comments about
England and the Nazis and I sincerely did not pay the necessary attention to
that, but then I realized that I have to take a firm position as a future Argentinian
English language teacher and I have to stop the class – whenever a student
react in this way - to explain them about the importance of respecting other
cultures and how rude it is to make a salute that represent the death of millions
of innocents due to the German Nazi Regime.

2. The child at the back is Benjamin, he is a good student and always participates
with enthusiasm but this class I was concerned about Juan and his group at the
front. I should have paid greater attention to him.
In the second group – 6th C – students’ reaction was also positive and they did
not show any negative response. They immediately recognized the boy’s
routine and the typical British food, we could complete the worksheet about the
video and they participated actively.
Students recognized the routine and they knew we started the lesson with a
helper that complete the calendar with date, season, time, etc. Then both
courses were divided into Bananas and Grapes. They enjoyed the dice game
which I made according to the different topics we have developed in our lessons
– healthy and unhealthy activities and food, sentence with like and don’t like
plus an activity and other more dynamic to create excitement in which a student
has to find a picture at school with a healthy habit or mime an action so their
team could guess it and the last activity was a Chinese whisper to work in group
– every turn has one minute to accomplish the task. In this way, I tried to
enhance engagement, participation, and oral development and more important
to show them how much they have learnt about the topic during this time,
On Thursday, every one brought to class food containers to do our CLIL project
about food calories next class.
