XII. Teacher’s Reflections (material, method, and objectives):
The group was almost uncontrollable. I don’t know what exactly happened. It was me, that’s obvious.
It’s always me. That never fails. Almeda tells me to win them over, but I always see that the ones
that always interrupt the class are the same ones. The others have been won over. On the other
hand, the “charlatan” ones have not and I can’t seem to win them over. I need more methods to win
them. I need to change my approach and the way I give my class. How can I be more dynamic and
constructivist? I need help with this. I sometimes feel alone.
