This was my first experience teaching in the Access Program. At the beginning of the class, I felt a little anxious because I did not know how those students could react to my teaching performance. Fortunately, I felt much better after introducing myself in a short speech.   

For this class, I was asked to continue teaching the topic how to give directions. I started the class asking them if they like to sing. I felt kind of nervous because some said yes and some said no. Indeed, I expected all of them said yes, but it was not like that. So, I started the class with a song as a warm up. I used the ¨Directions Rap Song¨ in which students had to listen the song and make the gestures in the song.  However, I felt great latter  because was noticeable that all of them like the song because they enjoyed the activity even some of them asked me about the name of the song because they wanted to look for it after the class.

After the warm up activity, I gave them a piece of paper containing some of the vocabulary that would be used in the class. In this activity, students had to match the image with the word. The vocabulary was about buildings in a town. Students worked smoothly and very fast. In fact, they finished the activity before the time I expected. So, I started to ask randomly for the answer. I felt great because all of them were right and I could noticed that they have enough vocabulary for the level in which they are. 

Then, I gave them a little map which had on it some streets and some buildings. In this activity, they had to listen a paragraph that I read for them. So, they had to set a number on the place that the person in the paragraph was going to. Also, they had to pay attention to the actions that the person did in the reading. After reading the paragraph, students had to say the routine in the same order and using the actions that the person did; Such as, Karla visited the cinema. The cinema is between the supermarket and the museum, and so on. 

After that, I gave them a piece of paper with some sentences. I asked them to make pairs. The students had to choose if the sentence was true or false according to the reading. Additionally, students had to discuss the sentences with the classmates to decide if it was true or false.  Also, students had to fix the sentences in case it was false. After completing the sentences, students were chosen randomly to read the sentences for the whole class. 

Finally, I asked them to make three groups. Students would play ¨Pin the tail to the donkey¨. Students had to choose a leader. The leader of the group was blindfolded. The members of the first group had to give directions to the blindfolded students to achieve the aim. The time was not enough for the three groups to play, but with the first group it was noticeable that students learned how to give directions.

I really like how students in the access program work. I liked teaching this students because based in what I observed students are hard workers. They seem to be a very united group and they easily get along with each other. Also, I have noticed students from this group are very participative.

In my future teaching experiences, I will be very carefully with the time because sometimes time is not enough to develop the activities as we expected.  So, I will try to include more activities, but with less time to be completed by the students.
