Microteaching continues

Presidential Palace "LA MONEDA" in Santiago, Chile

Training 9am-4pm
Main parts of the training, Agenda: Speaking activities, break, microteaching demos, lunch, Lines of Action.

Speaking activity: trio (Lisa, Jeanina, and myself) had made a mini-lesson on Invitations. The lesson was a dialogue between two persons meeting. Basically it was one friend asking another about they are doing after school. Then the conversation is on its way as to location and the type of sport they would play. Finally the two agree to play tennis.

Our trio made the motivation warm up exciting before delving into the dialogue.

I am excited to say that tomorrow Thursday we will be having our group pictures taken in front of the presidential palace called La Moneda.

What did I learn today?

The importance of motivation leading into the dialogue. Also, using sound and exaggerated gestures to keep interest during the dialogue. Then, strategically pair or divide students to repeat the dialogue with all the bells and whistles you modeled.
