At the beginning of this lesson on the 25th October I was quite afraid, because I didn’t know anything about them and this was my first "normal" lesson in the classroom. Moreover, I expected that my tutor would have told me something about what I had to do in the lessons, but she didn’t. In this group I could see the reality of this high school, because all the students come from different countries and there wasn’t any Spanish one. The children were in small groups of people from the same country as them.
The first problem that Núria had to solve was with a problematic student who doesn’t want to be in the high school and he arrived in the classroom and didn’t open his book neither take part in the group activity. Núria told him that he could go away if he didn’t want to be there and he left the classroom and he slammed the door, so Núria had to write a note for the principal of the school to try to solve the problem.
After this incident, we started the lesson and the first activity was a warm-up one. It was a kind of memory game who Núria has developed to adapt to different lessons, but this time it was about animals. We hung different cards with the letters in the blackboard and they had a picture or the name of an animal on the back and the children were in groups to play this game. They had to say two letters and try to find the correct name for the correct picture. It was very funny and the children were motivated and very active, they liked it so much, that they wanted to play it again, but this time they had to write sentences to describe these animals and at this moment I participated and helped them to understand the activity. My problem was that I didn’t know in which languages I had to answer them, because the teacher told them in Catalan or Spanish the meaning of the words and I was told that I had to speak in English.
