Yesterday I taught my Spanish 3 kids the present subjunctive. The lesson went well, but I feel I need to work on gaining a stronger teacher presence. I often feel like a student giving a presenation to the class instead of a soon to be teacher. The students were very cooperative, and they asked questions. Because this was their first day working with the subjunctive (gulp) they had quite a few, but none the less, they seemed to understand it well.
I used the Dona perfecta lead in, and then the students had a work sheet to become more familiar with the forms.
One thing I'd like to work on: My presence
One thing I did well: Answering students questions and giving students the opportunity to ask them
One thing I learned: You have to know your handouts like the back of your hand to answer students questions without confusion and in the most effective time.
