Observation

Observing reflection

In these days that I went to observe, I found that teaching is a really hard job.

That is an educator is not only being in front of a group, you need to control them, catch their attention, and resolve all their doubts. Fortunately, the Group that I went to observe is a good group. The most of it is participant and they do what the teacher says. Also we can saw a problem that catch our attention and it´s that we want to help to adults to get the same level, because we saw some pronunciation and attention problems. So we would like to make a deep research and try to find a solution.

In my microteaching I felt pretty nervous, because it was my first time, and I had o start a new topic. But at the end I could see that I can be a good teacher, but I need to correct some mistakes. I think that I could get their attention, and that the topic was clear.

The 20´s age

The 1920s were an age of dramatic social and political change. For the first time, more Americans lived in cities than on farms. The nation’s total wealth more than doubled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Americans into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” People from coast to coast bought the same goods (thanks to nationwide advertising and the spread of chain stores), listened to the same music, did the same dances and even used the same slang! Many Americans were uncomfortable with this new, urban, sometimes racy “mass culture”; in fact, for many–even most–people in the United States, the 1920s brought more conflict than celebration. However, for a small handful of young people in the nation’s big cities, the 1920s were roaring indeed.

Introduction!!!

For introduction, I would like to say, that I like to have this space to express myself and show who I am, obviously to upload the home works and school stuffs. So I would like to start saying that I´m Mariel, I´m 23 years old and I´m studying for being an English teacher, I´m in 6^th semester, and I can´t wait to finish jajajaj.

I like to take photos, it´s something that I really enjoy, having fun with my friends and family. Another thing that I love, is watching movies, in the cinema, at my house, wherever, one of my favorite movies is “slumdog millionaire”.

 I live with my parents, and I have a sister, and one brother, now, I´m living a beautiful step of my life, because I´m being a mom, and I´m so excited for living this, I feel wonderful, sometimes is hard, but I´m working hard to be a good person for him/her, so I hope it works. And I hope that my school would not be interrupted, or not affects my classes and get my graduation on time; I steel with my classes at my house with two girls and I feel so good that they are learning something from me, I would like to practice more in a school as soon as possible, and get a job.

So this is the most interesting about me, for this moment.
