On october 19th, I taught my 3rd lesson. It was a grammar lesson. I think that grammar is the hardest skill to teach,it is even harder that listening and reading. I really had problems with the acitivities. I used just one grammar activity, but it was too easy for the kids. Besides that, I did not find any other activity.
My classmate taught the first part of the class, he taught the vocabulary and practiced a little. I practiced the vocabulary too and the grammar, but as I said before the activity was too easy for the kids.
The kids were kind of hyperactive during this lesson and I tried to keep the control of the class. At the end I could not do it, I needed to raise the volume of my voice. Also, I had a hard time trying to make students speak using the grammar in a short roleplay.
However, this was not a bad experience, it was just a chance to learn more.
Now I will share with you a link. If you are going to teach a grammar lesson, and you do not have activities for the class, I recommend you to visit the page. There you will find a lot of activities that you can do.

the class was good, but i consider that you need to project your voice; also i like how you interact with chidlren.
