I don’t like teaching. I don’t like children: I DON’T like teaching children, so I was quite surprised I enjoyed this project. I spent about a  thousand hours trying to find a video that had enough vocabulary and was funny at the same time. I failed. I couldn’t quite understand the accent of most of the speakers and the one I did understand, used pretty simple vocabulary.

My worksheet was quite simple: fill in the gap, define some vocabulary and some quick questions to understand the video. I wish I had completed the worksheet with some additional topics for the class to discuss but I realised that later on.

The lesson went well. The students were participative and eager to see how the lesson would work out, and I was quite nervous at first, but relaxed towards the end of the class.

I learned some vocabulary and how exhausting teaching really is. I only had four students and can’t even begin to imagine what teaching a 24 student class (like the ones in primary) would be like. I now appreciate way more the worksheets we are given as I have seen how time-consuming they can really be.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience to get to see a lesson from a completely different perspective but I’m not sure if i would do it again, should the opportunity arise.
