8. Carrousel Session Teaching Reflection: Carrousel teaching session were classes in which we had to work on groups of 5 and give them a class, based on the topic that was assigned to us, but more than a topic, it was a unit what we had to develop in front of our students. Each group was working with a specific book, and the members of the group would have to teach a unit. The purpose of it was to prepare us before going to give real classes (the teaching practices). The carrousel classes were very entertaining but something that happened was that we learned how to work with groups different than the ones we usually work with, at the beginning it was a little unexpected having to work with people that maybe we already have talk to, but there was not a friendship or daily communication. We learned how to improve when it comes to visual material, because it is always recommendable to use visuals to get students attention, some students maybe didn’t give an excellent class, but they were given their best.
