Task 5: Opening a Classroom Door

My first experience as a "teacher" in a classroom was when I was doing my first practicum class. From the beginning, it was a huge challenge. I felt so insecure and extremely nervous, for the first moment I stood in front of the students I knew everything was different from the last time I had been in a classroom. it was a little nostalgic, to look at it from the other side, the teacher´s side.
The teacher that was in charge was very nice and supportive and since the moment we met we created a good relationship with each other. She told me some things about the students so I could start the class with a little overview of the way they were working.
The students were all over the place, they were noisy and easily distracted. They were constantly on their mobile devices so the teacher had to take them away.
Despite all that, students show to be very interested in learning new things, the teacher taught them about the present continuous and they answer every question the teacher asked. The teacher knew them so it was easy for her to manage them and to make them pay attention to her.  That was impressive, she had such a domain over those students. After the talk, the teacher provide them with some translation and repetition exercises for them to develop. she gave feedback almost at the end of the class, for those students who wanted. Once the class had finished, all the students said goodbye to us and put their chairs in their corresponding place. I got out of school so excited and nervous as well. I felt that it was the beginning of a new experience, a new stage of my life and I'm looking forward to what is next for me.
