So... Got a headband, Allison's sunglasses, and a backpack and walked into class. My students flipped! One thumbs up for getting their attention. The unit was Travel Partners, so I taught them some vocab like "backpacker" and stuff, then we studied the comparatives, using some not so much fun travel vocab, comparing transportation, accommodation and what not. Then I gave them some more fun statements to compare (such as "coming to school and going out with your boy/girlfriend) which went quite well. I'd just put on my sunglasses (well, Allison's sunglasses) and shout "HELLO!" to get their attention. Helped a lot really. Aaaaand another really good thing (thanks to Merve) was the coffee ticket competition activity. Merve gave me these statements (like London's population: something something, Paris' population: something something. And there was the adjective the students were supposed to use: crowded), there were 10 of them. We formed 7 groups of 4, each group got 10 statements, and they were supposed to write full sentences with no mistakes for each statement, and stick them on the board. After they were done writing and sticking, we went over the sentences one by one, at each mistake moving onto another group. We had two winner teams. They had so much fun, all of them were taking pictures of the board after we were done going over the grammar points.
The downer of the day was that it's really difficult to keep up with the book and teach all the grammar points, still struggling with that. And the computers in the classes aren't working so well, took ages to do a couple of listening activities. All in all, it wasn't an awful day. And they were in a good mood because their writing exams went well (so they thought at least).
