7th Reflections

My Mock Teaching ✌

Finally ! last but not least, i've done my mock teaching as the 3rd presenter hahha ! Thank goodness everything went well even that was my very first experience ! Okay, continue your reading 😉

Hello class ! today i'll be your new English teacher, you may call me Madam Anis wakaka

After our Mock Teaching, we are assigned to reflect our own mock teaching:

1)How the lesson went in general.

2)What i  would do differently.

3)What went wrong.

4)What i liked about the lesson.

5)If the activities and class dynamic reflected my teaching principles.

6)What i learned in the process.

1) How the lesson went in general.

For me, i am very glad that i've made it. I've tried my very best on that day facing my biggest fear which is lack self-confident :p Luckily my classmates or should i say my "students" are very supporting, even they look childish pretending as a form 1 students but still participate well during the lesson. To be honest, they look so cute ! When the time i played a video of Prepositions song, they were all singing. At the end of the class, we played a game which is "Time Rush" The situation turns wild hahaha they were all trying their best to convince the guesser about what is the object behind (on the screen) 

wish i could have this kind of students later 😂

2) What i would do differently.

If i could turn back time, i would fix my mistake in showing them the video. on that day, our lecturer gives some comments to each of us, she told me that when it comes to showing a video, RELATE IT. I do realise my mistake that i just showed them the video and move to the next topics. I supposed to connect it with the topic, like one of my friend did very well. She played a song of her lesson then she create a dance for it. Interesting right? I should be more creative in teaching. 

3) What went wrong.

- There are few problems on that day, the first one is i didn't alert with my time as i planned in my lesson plan during the lesson. But yeah, i'll take note that, thankyou Dr.Ng 😊

- Second is i putting too much information to teach in a single period, which is overload! i wasn't supposed to do that. I cannot put lots of topic in a short time, students won't be able to catch it that fast right? I'll make sure, i won't repeat the same mistakes when it comes to my teaching practicum later.

- And lastly about the video as i said earlier.

4) What i like about the lesson.

I found that what i liked the most about the lesson is the game part! Everyone were participating in the game. It's very funny to see them acting to visualize the objects rushingly because they were only given 3 minutes only! Take a look for this video 👇

5) If the activities and class dynamic reflected my teaching principles.

I would say yes, because my teaching principles is simple, a good teacher will provide a good learning. I believe that kind of activites will be work in teaching in class. I also belive that, once you get to liked your teacher, you will be willingly to learn what had been taught by them. 

6) What i learned in the process?

I learned a lot! I also learned how to confront with my nervous. This is something rare for me, and a great experience. I will try to improve myself from time to time. I also learned that to be an excellent educator, i have to be dare accepting challenges! Being a teacher was not an easy job, it takes many sacrifices to succeed, like the quote says "no pain no gain". At first i was having difficulties in creating lesson plan, but then as i learned and keep on doing it, i finally understand how to do it well. 

I also learned how to educate other people. Since this was  my first time, i learned that in order to educate students you have to speak with loud voice, be confident, fine alternatives to approach the students, and the most important thing is, i learned that a learning session have to be interesting and joyful ! It will encourage the students to learn with enthusiasm.

Thats all. Bye bye 👋
