Teaching a lesson!

Today at my Practicum I finally got to teach my first lesson! The students were walking into the classroom and the teacher said just handed me the book and said "go over this!" So I had about two minutes to figure out what to do! They were learning about the climate/characteristics of different parts of America and how it related to the clothing the people wore. Students were allowed to work in groups of 3 as they looked through pictures and described where they lived and the description of the climate. It actually went better than I thought and I don't think the students even realized this was not planned. What was weird to me is that they usually are a very talkative group and interupt their teacher. But for me they were actually very respectful and only talked if I called on them! Hopefully that's how it will be when I teach next week!
