WHY SHOULD I USE WARM-UPS, ICE- BREAKERS, AND TIME FILLERS?
I have learned some important things during these 3 weeks. For example, Ihave learned how to create a positive atmosphere in the classroom, and how to bring energy to the students using warm-ups and ice-breakers. Moreover, I could undersand that i can use time fillers when I realize that the students are bored because I have designed a boring class. Also, time fillers to fill a small blog when the lesson plan runs short.
IS IT IMPORTANT TO PLAN OUR LESSONS?
We as teachers know that there are many reasons for planning a lesson. For example,
lesson planning
-helps the teacher to be more confident
-provides a useful guidefor efficient teaching
-helps the teacher to prepare for the lesson
-heps the teacher to be more organized
-helps the teacher to know whether he/she has achieved his/her teaching objectives
-helps the teacher to identify parts or activities can work well according to the topic and the level of the students
In my opinion, the most important part of the lesson is the objectives because they helpus to be explicit about what we want students to achieve in the lesson. However, objectives are not easy to write because we have to take into account the students needs, the topic, the activities we want to do, and the language and skills the activity is practising.
In conclusion, I can say that didatics classes have helped me a lot in order to understand why I should plan the lessons, and how it will help me in these coming teaching practices.
