For my second teaching time, I had to teach grammar. The topic was causative verbs in active and passive way. So, it was a hard challenge for me because as everyone knows is difficult to make a perfect introduction in teaching it. I had good expectations about it but unfornutaly everything was totally diferent when I was in front of the students. So, I trried to do my best from me explaining the grammar structure and the fuction of every verb ( get, have and make.) I pasted visuals in the board, and I explained them but unfortunately for me was not easy to catch the students's attention because I think that I needed more than 20 minutes to introduce it.
I am sure that I do not have enough experience in teaching grammar as we most of us do not have in it. I know some techniques or methods but when I want to apply them in the classroom everything changes. Therefore, it is something that we should to start working hard because we have a long path in this subject. I am more than sure that students needed more examples usign every verb but they needed at least two different practices( written and oral.)
My second teaching experience has been positive because although I felt insecurity in , I am not discouraged; however, I have learned that teaching grammar is not just to go the classroom and introduce the topic because you know that some students have weakness in grammar and grammar is so important in our students. So. let me know what should I do the next time that I have to teach grammar.

Hi Ruben, teaching the grammar patterns it is hard becuase you need to give a context to your students in order to have their attention and that they understand you. One thing you can do is: first make sure every student is paying attenton to you; second, it was good that you taught them throughout visuals, but you can use other didactics materials such as videos.
