Personalities

Week 1

Date: Thursday, July 25^th, 2019

Time: from 1:35pm to 3:05pm, from 3:35pm to 5:05pm.

     Today was one of those days in which you feel anxious because the upcoming events of the day. You know it is going to be perfect, but you also have the feeling you are going to be nervous. Well, I was in both 11°11 and 10°13 groups. The first class started at 1:35pm and ended at 3:05pm. It was with eleventh graders. Once again just a few students, but 25 in this case at the very beginning of the class, because they are currently being prepared to face the upcoming Pruebas Saber Pro 11. So, the first 30 minutes they were doing a simulacrum and then they were splitted in groups according to the level of English of each student. My group was then with 9 students. They received a short class by the teacher. After this, I did my presentation and introduce myself to the group. Even though this group is almost ending its high school cycle, I feel it more timid and shier than the group from Mondays, which is more active, receptive, and participative. Every single group has its own “personality”. Then, I was with 10°13 group. Tenth grades are more confident, risky, motivated. Just 10 students but I was only with 6 students because the other 4 were preparing a presentation because of Día de la Independencia, July 20^th. I’ve learned that every group is different, it has its own personality, which influences the developing of a class.
