About my teaching
When I entered the classroom there were students from another class. I suppose it's because I arrived late (it was raining like crazy and the transport was very slow) and the teacher thought I wasn't coming. Or perhaps their teacher was absent, anyway nobody explained why. There were some students absent on the day of the exam and the teacher wanted them to do the exam. So three boys were working on the exam, half of the students were from another division and the rest were the ones that I had to teach. This lesson was a mess. I started a new unit with new theme and it was so hard to deal with the teaching point. I think I might re-do this lesson because I don't think they learnt anything at all. It could have been a wonderful lesson but it was a disaster. I got really angry with them.
About the students
Only two students were paying attention, the rest were chatting with students from the other course. I had to stop the lesson many times. I was about to give up.
They were very distracted today and they were hardly listening to me. We did some activities but it felt like they were on a completely different place.
