7TH REFLECTION.

7^th REFLECTION 😘

Thadaaa!! It’s me again. I’m  really sorry for the late update on my blog post my dear viewers. The semester going to end soon. It’s like we just entered the Pedagogy class, but time flies super fast. As time flies, guess what? I have done with my mock teaching. Since, my name is starting with alphabet ‘V’ which is the one and only “VETHA SHINI”, my turn was on the third week. That’s the only reason I couldn’t update my blog on time.

So, do you all have any idea or guesses on what am I going to talk about on my 7^th reflection? Yes!! You are right. The topic of the day is MY MOCK TEACHING.

HOW THE LESSON WENT IN GENERAL?

Basically everything goes well at that moment. But before I started, it was my friend’s turn. During that time, I was super nervous and couldn’t concentrate on my other friend’s mock teaching session. My mind was very disturbed.

When it comes to my turn, I started my mock teaching by greeting the students. Then I started off my lesson by playing a video clip for students to guess what’s the topic of the day. Students started to guess the name of the topic. Then I introduced the topic to my students which is ADJECTIVES for form 1 Amanah. I started to explain more in detailed about adjectives. After few explanation, I had a bucket game to my students to attract their attention. The game is about  creating few sentences using the adjective words given. At the end of the lesson, I also divided my students into two groups and asked them to described about the picture of celebrities that given from the manila card. I believe these activities really attracts the students and they also had fun while studying with me. I also engaged with my students by guiding them. As I said, everything goes well as I have planned earlier.

WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY?

Maybe I would do some different type of games which are more challenging for my students. Because the games and activity that I arranged for them are quite simple and easy. I also would prepare some gifts for my students to reward them. Other than that, everything was good enough even my slides were attractive as mentioned by my lecturer.

WHAT WENT WRONG?

As mentioned by lecturer, the video clip that I have chosen is wrong. Because the video clip doesn’t suits for the form 1 students. It was like kinda childish for them. So, yeah it’s my mistake. I shouldn’t picked that video clip .

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE LESSON?

Obviously, I like everything about my lesson that I have taught to my students. HAHAHHAHAHHAXX!!! Okie, the main thing that I like from the lesson is my students really had fun and they were able to engaged with me during my mock teaching. I really would like to thank my friends to co-operate with as a student for my lesson. Thanks guys!!

IF THE ACTIVITIES AND CLASS DYNAMICS REFLECTED MY TEACHING PRINCIPLES.

I believe that my activities and class dynamics reflected my teaching principle. Basically, my teaching principles are cooperative learning between students, good communication skills between students and teacher, and students must participate actively on my lesson.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNT IN THE PROCESS?

To be frank, I have really learnt a lot what is teaching all about. Through this process, I learnt to do a lesson plan for students. Then the way to do the PowerPoint slides effectively for the students to attract their attention. Moreover, I also learnt on how to pick the effective activity for my students.

So far that’s all from me for now. Take care bubyee.

With LOVE,

VETHASHINI TEACHER.
