I taught my second class on September 28th. Compared to my first class, I had a huge improvement. This time, just half of the class attended, like 8, and we taught school objects with a listening about that.
I was the first one who was going to present this time and I did not feel nervous at all. In the warm-up, I spinned a bottle and the student which was pointing at was going to say the name of the school object. I was using flashcards to ask the names of such school objects, but the flashcards already had their names on them so I had to cover the names with my hand.
In the presentation, I introduced new school objects (Sharpener, Colored Pencils, Pencil Case, Tape, and Crayons) and some colors (Black, White, Grey, Pink, and Brown). I had to introduce the colors because there were some colors that the students did not know, and that were part of the listening.
In the first practice, students were given worksheets in which they had to match the color to its name. In this part, some students had trouble matching because they did not know the spelling. Also, I had to check individually because I did not have a method to check. To avoid this, we should have a column with numbers, and the other column with letters.
Then, in the second practice, I gave students worksheets in which they were going to match the picture of a school object to its name. Here, students also had problems while matching. They confused crayons with colored pencils, and Pencil Case with Colored Pencils. Also, I had to check individually, I had the same problem like before.
Finally, in the third practice, students played scramble in the board. I wrote the words of the vocabulary that was presented. Students really liked this activity, they are kind of competitive. I should have written the words while they were busy with the worksheets, but everything went good.

I am very glad that you have improved in your delivering classes. The use of flash cards it is very useful when we are presenting new vocabulary.
