JOURNAL 3

     Unfortunately, there is a lack of motivation in students from 605. Despite the fact that I plan active and dynamic classes for them, they do not participate, they have a burlesque attitude and they are very impolite with each other. I call their attention each time they use nicknames or rude words, the other teacher threat them calling their parents and making a written observation but it seems that they don’t care about anything.  I think that the time of the class plays a very essential role in the student’s attitude as we have class at last hours after the break. 
    On the other hand, 604 is still a very active and talkative group. Despite the teacher says that as it were a bad attitude, I think that I can’t force them to be quiet or silent all the time because they are in that age.  What I try to do is to find ways to take advantage of that habit to teach then in an appropriated way. They really care about the English class and I can realize that they want to learn.       In regards to my insides this week, I always end up very tired after classes but with satisfaction because I know that children learned at least one thing in my class. Teaching them a song has been very meaningful because I feel that most of them enjoy that part of the class. In fact, I have heard some students humming the song after class. This week there was a pre-report and the teacher talked to student’s parents about their accomplishments and weaknesses, I hope that students improve after that meeting.
