Monday
Us two groups of teachers were switched to different classes--and different levels. I had the lower-intermediate for 2 weeks. Now we will have the upper-intermediate for the next 2 weeks. They are a bigger class, I'd say more enthusiastic, probably 'cause their collective English level is that much better.
I had guided help for preparing my lesson for Tuesday (today). Some things were already prepared, just needed to be fine-tuned--and I needed to write my lesson plan. That's basically the last thing I always do: write my lesson plan. That's just how I work.
Imagine how happy I was to finish everything a few minutes before midnight . . .
Tuesday
I taught my class. Man, I forgot to check if the class understood the vocabulary I introduced to them. I also didn't replay the audio file when I should have. Blast! Oh well, at least I can identify my mistakes. Now, to make sure they are not repeated.
Oh, tomorrow will be a nice day: we only have a 30-min. session with our tutors. That's it! We're free the rest of the day, just need to meet with our tutors to see where we are and how we're doing in the course. I'm looking forward to all this extra time to get a head start on my unobserved lesson on Thurs., my observed lesson on Fri., and my final assignment due on Monday (all about our progress in the course).
I also want to see if I can get a box to send more stuff to the States. I need to lighten my check-in luggage.
