The second class I looked for a way to give less instruction.I felt really motivated before the class. During the activity, I took into a consideration more modeling in order to be clearer for the students.  After the class I realized that the students response was more effective this opportunity. I think that class room management was well. Nevertheless, I had to control more students from a different group. They were in working mode so easily.

Spinning bottle for the first activity. 

First activity spinning the bottle.

In the first activity the students participated a lot. Before the class I felt optimistic about my performance. During the class some students expected the bottle did not point them out. I wanted they bottle pointed a different student. However, It was necessary to lead the bottle with the foot. They all answered the questions successfully. I should not have used Spanish more than twice. Some other were eager to answer the questions

second activity.

It was a great surprise the second activity. There were some students who got the pronunciation of each letter of the alphabet correctly at the time I made emphasis in the difference.  I wanted to play once for them to get familiar with the names of the letters.  Since some of them got it so fast I was doubtful to play it again. However, I played it three times. Then, using the chart I pointed out the difference of the difficult letters. Therefore I asked personally to all of them to make sure they all got it.

Third stage of the class.

Indeed, I wanted them to practice. They perform the activity nicely. The activity was arranged to be done in pairs, so they promoted the learning and the interaction among them.  I did the example of the task using my own name tag. I should have given them more time to see the chart with the difference pronunciation. They were some students who were not on time for the explanation of the previous activity that introduced the following.  Honestly, I think it was a successful class. Not only for them but also for me.

I think that all the activities well correctly done. My classmates did an outstanding job. It was evident the experience they have. The classroom managemant was incredible. They enjoyed the activities. They had so much fun at the time they had to pass the message. They actually reproduce the pronunciation in the target language in the rest of the activities. I was a real rewarding class.
