1. Marlene Margarita Chuc Maldonado E- portfolio

2. Introduction. One of the purposes of this e- portfolio is to state evidence about what I learnt in this module; besides that I hardly believe it is going to help improving my teaching method and techniques because when I did the plans I had to analyze what I used to do in a class, as a result I did a different plan considering what I realized in the module and it is showed in this portfolio.

3. Contents: a) Sample Lesson Planning . When I did this plan I had to considered many factors that are important in order to plan a class which I did not use to take into account, for example aids; I usually planned without considering aids as conscious as I did this time.

4. b) Sample Classroom Management Planning . Even I usually think of the sitting arrangement, I have never written about it and this time I had to do it. It is necessary to consider students’ personalities and behaviors. I could understand how important is being specific when planning.

5. c)Sample of instructional materials selected from the Internet. (Include at least five hyperlinks per instructional material selected) Present Simple Present Continuous Past Simple. Pronunciation Exercises. Improving your writing techniques.

6. Conclusions and reflections. First, lesson planning is actually important due to teacher has a goal to reach, as a consequence class will be more effective, more over students will obtain and they might feel more motivated. Second, it does not matter the amount of experience years, teachers have to plan if they what to get the best result.

7. Conclusions and reflections. Finally, a teacher has to use as many tools as he/she can for the reason that a class could be more useful and attractive for the students. As a matter of fact, media and internet provide a vast amount of instruments to be used in class, therefore teachers must take advantage of them without exaggerating, that means avoiding over using those tools.

8. Conclusions and reflections. When selecting the hyperlinks to be used as instructional materials I realized that there are a enormous amount of material which can be used in classes and as a support for students learning process however, the information has to be analyzed due to there are some mistakes in the information given and there are also some advertising pages.
