This time my classmates taught the grammar skill.Teacher Charlie started the class and gave some general instructions in Spanish, he also explained students that they were going to write their names if they participated in the class and put them in a box, so that at the end of the class they were going to do a raffle and gave a prize to the winner.

Then teacher Guillermo was in charge of the warm up stage, he asked students to stand up and form two lines, student from each team had to throw a ball and earn the most points possible, in a cirlce that was drawn in the board. The team that lost, had to say the name of the professions they show using flashcards.

In the next stage, teacher Maria Jose presented the grammar topic: "verb to be", she used examples and asked students to repeat after her the words. She presented the question: Who is he/she? Who are you? and their answers respectively. Then she asked some students to go to the board and provided a mask representing the professions, she asked to the rest of the class the question previously taught and they had to answer the correct profession.

In the next part of the class, teacher Maria Jose provided students a worksheet in which they had to write the correct structure of the verb be according to the professions, students were doing a pretty good job and were capable to do the task.

In the second practice, teacher Mariana had pasted three different color charts in the board and students were also given three different color sticks. The color green represented "he is"; the red color "I am"; and the yellow "she is". Students had to hold in the air the color stick that represented each flashcard she showed them.

After that students had to prepare a mini role presentation, they had to ask the question: Who are you?and use any of the professions to answer the question.

In the last part teacher Charlie passed two different ballons, and the student who had the color he mentioned was showed a flashcard and had to say the name using the structure of verb be.
