The art of teaching is a book that recently came into my hands and since I got it I can't stop reading it, because it is a corollary of themes that serves as a basis for reflection on our educational practice. Cassany, who is also one of my favourite authors, first offers a review of important everyday aspects of the classroom and, at the same time, from his experience, makes contributions to improve our classroom practice. 

#
Each chapter is an opportunity to identify with each description offered by the author and serves as a basis for the development of this and subsequent publications, as I find it interesting to review my educational practice based on the many realities offered in this book. The first chapter is entitled First day of school, a subject that is rarely discussed because it seems uninteresting, but no one notices the importance of the first approach to the classroom, to the students and to the many challenges it presents. 

The first day of class every semester is always a challenge for me. No matter how many times it happens in my life, that day always generates a bit of stress. What will the students be like? How many students will I have? What will their intentions, interests and expectations be? What do they expect from me? Will they stay until the end? How do I teach them this semester? All this and more begins to emerge as the first day of classes approaches.

Time has gone by and I handle that stress much better, by dint of trial and error I have learned to breathe, observe and listen to the students to try to approach them in the best way possible. That's why that first class starts early, it starts with planning all the content and activities for each of them. I take that first day of class very seriously, because that is the time when I can put into practice some activities that will lead me to establish how the students are coming along in the area of language.

In another post, a long time ago, I told you that the current situation of the university sector in my country is very bad, to the point where we spent several semesters without student enrolment, so going from having blank class lists to having 3 students enrolled is a sign that anything is possible and that there is a need to study. For this semester, we were also able to find a place to stay. Last semester, we university teachers went round and round to see where we could give classes to the students.

<center><sub>Facade House number 11, Cumaná, Sucre State- Venezuela</sub></center>

This semester we found a place to stay in a house in our old town. Finding it was quite an event, because we all knew that the house existed, but not that it had a number and that it was available for us. I don't really like the space, but, it's what we have and I prefer that to having to teach in a square or in the park. So, well, it's up to me to make the most of the space.
Last Tuesday we met in that house and the experience was a pleasant one. Theoretically there are three protagonists in the story, but only two attended: Karlenys and Maibelin. 

Both are recent high school graduates. They still retain traces of a somewhat childish behaviour and from what they told me they are a bit overwhelmed by the change, but the good thing is that they have a strong interest in graduating and that is something I haven't noticed for a long time. At times, I couldn't decipher their faces as I was giving the class and proceeded to ask them if they were following me or ask them to summarise what I was previously explaining.

We made introductions, I gave them my email and phone number. This is a double-edged sword, however, because of the situation we are in now, I think it is necessary. As I said, the house is on loan and the UDO does not have a fixed location and in case of any new developments, it is essential to have a way of communicating with each other. After the introductions, I proceeded to explain some things related to the dynamics of the classes.

That is, the syllabus of the subject (contents), evaluation plan, classroom activities and more. We also had time to laugh, because it turns out that while I was explaining the programme, a song by Juan Gabriel came on at full volume and when we turned to see where it was coming from, we realised that next to House Number 11, there is a funeral parlour. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but that's the way things are and I hope that not all the wakes that will take place between now and the end of the semester will involve music. In my country, wakes are very colourful, they drink, eat a lot, drink a lot and even dance, depending on the life of the deceased. 

After that, we went back to class until we finished. We read aloud, we wrote, the students raised their concerns, they took the opportunity to ask me for help with research in another subject. I helped them as much as I could, because they are different subjects, but wherever there is a text to be written or something to be written, I can always help, and that is what I did with them. The day was tiring because I had to deal with several things, but I feel it was fruitful. 

This time, my spirits were at the top of my emotional scale, because I noticed the girls' enthusiasm for studying. Their questions, their doubts, their comments about what was happening to them with respect to the university dynamics, made me recover my desire to teach, which had been in decline due to the reality that surrounds us Venezuelans. However, I can say that that first day of school was not only an opportunity to get to know the students, it also meant an emotional escalation in my teaching practice.

El arte de dar clases es un libro que recientemente llegó a mis manos y desde que lo tengo no puedo dejar de leerlo, porque es un corolario de temas que sirve de base para reflexionar en torno a nuestra practica educativa. Cassany, quien además es uno de mis autores favoritos, ofrece primero una revisión de aspectos cotidianos como importantes dentro del aula de clases y, al mismo tiempo, desde su experiencia, hace aportes para mejorar nuestra práctica de clases.

# 

Cada capítulo es una oportunidad para identificarnos con cada descripción que nos ofrece el autor y sirve de base para la elaboración de esta publicación, ya que encuentro interesante revisar mi práctica educativa a partir de las tantas realidades que ofrece este libro. Su primer capítulo se titula Primer día de escuela, un tema del que casi no se habla por parecer poco interesante, pero, nadie nota la importancia del primer acercamiento al aula de clases, a los estudiantes y a las múltiples desafios que esta nos muestra. 

El primer día de clases de cada semestre siempre es todo un reto para mí. No importa cuántas veces sucede mi vida, ese día siempre me genera un poco de estrés. ¿Cómo serán los estudiantes? ¿Cuántos estudiantes tendré? ¿Cuáles serán sus inteniones, intereses y expectativas? ¿Qué esperan recibir de mí? ¿Se quedarán hasta el final? ¿Cómo hago este semestre para darles clases? Todo eso y más comienza a surgir cuando se acerca ese primer día de clases.

<center><sub>Mis estudiantes y yo</sub></center>
 
El tiempo ha pasado y manejo mucho mejor ese estrés, a fuerza de ensayo y error he aprendido a respirar, observar y escuchar a los estudiantes para intentar abordarlos de la mejor manera. Por eso, ese primera clase comienza con antelación, comienza con la planeación de todo el contenido y las actividades de cada uno de ellos. Me tomo muy en serio ese primer día de clases, porque es el momento en el que puedo poner en práctica algunas actividades que me lleven a establecer cómo vienen los estudiantes en el área de lengua. 

Siempre busco crear situaciones comunicativas ese mismo día en las que los pueda observar al momentos de escribir, leer, escuchar instrucciones y expresarse. Todos aspectos bastante importantes para la formación de los estudiantes. Mi recorrido como docente me ha permitido ver que hacerse entender es bastante difícil, porque muchas veces las instruciones no están bien estructuradas por parte del docente y el estudiante tiene miedo de preguntar qué dice allí. Por otro lado, la expresión oral es también fundamental, porque el estudiante tiene que saber informar y plantear sus propios argumentos con coherencia y claridad.

Sí, es bastante trabajo, pero con el tiempo he ido facilitando las cosas y busco con tiempo hacer mis cosas. Tomo notas de todo lo que voy a decir para mantener la clase estrucutrada y organizada. No me gusta el desorden. Entonces, recojo mis apuntes, mis escritos y mis ganas de ir a encontrarme con los estudiantes. Este semestre tuvimos novedades, porque contamos con la inscripción de tres nuevos estudiantes en el Departamento de Educación Integral, Adscrito de la Escuela de Humanidades y Educación de la Universidad de Oriente, Núcleo de Sucre.

<center><sub>Aquí copiando el plan de evaluación</sub></center>

En otro post, hace mucho tiempo, les conté que la situación actual del sector universitario en mi país es muy mala, al punto en el que pasamos varios semestres sin inscripción de estudiantes, por lo que pasar de tener en blanco nuestras listas de clases a tener 3 inscritos es un signo de que todo puede ser posible y hay necesidad de estudiar. 
Para este semestre, también pudimos encontrar donde quedarnos. 

#

El semestre pasado los docentes universitarios dimos varias vueltas para ver dónde podíamos dar clases a los estudiantes. Este semestre encontramos asiento en una casa de nuestro casco historico. La casa número 11. Encontrarla fue todo un evento, porque todos sabíamos que la casa existía, pero no que tenía número y que estaba disponible para nosotros. A mí no me gusta mucho el espacio, pero, es lo que tenemos y prefiero eso a tener que dar clases en una plaza o en el parque. Así que, bueno, me toca aprovechar el espacio.

#

El martes pasado nos vimos en esa casa y la experienca fue grata. En teoria son tres las protagonistas de la historia, pero sólo asistieron dos: Karlenys y Maibelin. Las dos egresaron recientemente de bachillerato. Aún conservan vestigios de un comportamiento un tanto, infantil y por lo que ellas me dijeron están un poco abrumadas por el cambio, pero lo bueno es que tienen el firme interés de graduarse y eso es algo que hace mucho no notaba. A veces, no podía descifrar sus caras mientras daba la clase y procedía a preguntarles si me seguían o pedirles que resumieran lo que previamente les estaba explicando.

#
Hicimos las presentaciones respetivas, les di mi correo y mi número de teléfono. Esto es un arma de doble filo, sin embargo, por la situación que tenemos ahora, creo que es necesario. Como les dije, la casa es prestada y la UDO no tiene cede fija y en caso de presentarse alguna novedad,pues tener como comuicarnos es fundamental. Después de las presentaciones, pues procedí a explicar algunas cosas relacionadas con la dinámica de clases.

Esto es, programa de la asignatura (contenidos), plan de avaluación, actividades en el aula y más. También tuvimos tiempo para reirnos, porque resulta que mientras les estaba explicando sobre el programa, suena una canción a todo volumen de Juan Gabriel y cuando volteamos a ver de dónde venía, nos dimos cuenta de que al lado de la Casa Número 11, hay una funeraria. Yo no sabía si reírme o llorar, pero así están las cosas y espero que no todos los procesos velatorios que se hagan de aquí a que yo termine el semestre, ameriten música. En mi país los velorios son muy pintorezcos, se bebe, se come mucho, se bebe mucho y hasta se baila, según la vida del difunto. 

Después de eso, volvimos a la clase hasta terminar. Leímos en voz alta, escribimos, las estudiantes plantearon sus inquietudes, aprovecharon para pedirme ayuda con una investigación de otra asignatura. Las ayudé en lo que pude, porque son temas de otra índole, pero donde haya que hacer un texto o redactar algo siempre podré ayudar y eso fue lo que hice con ellas. El día fue cansón porque tuve que abordar varias cosas, pero siento que fue fructífero. 

En esta oportunidad, mis ánimos estuvieron en el tope de mi escala emocional, porque noté en las chicas entusiasmo por estudiar. Sus preguntas, sus dudas, sus comentarios en torno a lo que les sucedía con respecto a la dinámica unversitaria, hicieron que recuperara mis ganas de dar clases que venían en bajada por toda la realidad que nos circunda a los venezolanos, sin embargo, puedo decir que ese primer día de escuela no solo significó una oportunidad para conocer a los estudiantes, también significó una escalada emocional en mi práctica docente.
