8th Week Of Reflection ... (THE BEST MOCK TEACHING)



      THE BEST MOCK TEACHING

  Finally, 3 weeks of Mock teaching have already came to an end... First of all, I would like to congratulate each and everyone for the effort that all of you have done although it was a last minute preparation for all of us due to a lot of assignments.. But Good Job guys and we have nailed it...



      I believe it was more than just a mental fear that made us nervous initially. But seriously the 30 minutes that was given just flew very fast then i expected..

To be frank, till this moment of time I couldn't choose one person to be the best because i felt that all of did our best and we really learned a lot through this mock teaching...


Since I have no choice, I think the best Mock teaching from my perception goes to..........

             JEREMY



 OK!!! LET ME EXPLAIN THE REASONS WHY I CHOOSE JEREMY'S MOCK TEACHING IS THE BEST..


a) Teacher role in managing the students...

* Jeremy managed all the students well as he actually made all of to concentrate on his story and it was really exciting to know what s the next step of the story..

*He managed his time quite well where he was actually correcting all the mistakes and gave us time to re do back and submit it with right answer.


b) Managing the lesson

*He really managed the lesson well as he repeated the story and the formula together which I believe was a good way for making the students remember..

*The flow of his teaching was also arranged very well


c) The teaching method

* He managed it during the time given and I believe it is not much to be learned rather not to less and it was perfect in flow of teaching..

* I liked Jeremy's intonation of voice when he read out the questions where he did it with a dialog concept and really captured all our mind since he choose all the hot topics which is going on lately in the era.


d)The lesson-content

*The content of the lesson was sufficient enough for a secondary student..

*The way he made the students remember the formula was awesome where till now I remember the formula that he thought.. It really captured the mind.


e) The fun that we had in the class

* I would say the fun was there throughout the lesson especially during the interaction that we had as a student and teacher.. He was really a friendly teacher indeed and I believe that every student will like a teacher like this..

*I also liked his group work where he gave us a manila card and small pieces of papers written with the formula to be pasted with the glue-tac according to the questions answer and run forward to check whether it is right or wrong. By this he made the class to be actively participate and not getting boring..


I THINK THAT IS ALL FROM ME..

ALL OF US HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB AND I AM SURE WE WILL DO OUR BEST FOR THE UP COMING MOCK TEACHINGS..



Since Mock teaching have came to an end and that marks the last day of pedagogy class..



I really learned that to be a teacher is not an easy responsibility. Yes, I was aware from the beginning to be a teacher is not an easy job, because parents and society have so much hopes on teachers to mold their children to be a morally and intellectually good. During all this past weeks, I was given a good exposure by Dr. Ng to get myself started with lesson plans and preparing notes and activities so that I would be emotionally prepared of what I would be facing in the future with the secondary students in school. Thank you so much Dr. Ng for all the guidance in helping and encouraging me to get exposed to lesson plans though it was a little challenging but I managed to do it. 

Thank You once again for introducing me to so many new methods of teaching and learning.I learned a lot from your class and I definitely would use it when I get into the world of teaching.

 THOUSAND OF THANKS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART DR.NG



 Not forgetting all my dear friends who have really encouraged me all throughout the semester and gave me the support.. FRIENDS LIKE U ALL ARE IMPORTANT PART OF MY LIFE..
THANKS GUYS

7th Week Of Reflection.. (MY MOCK TEACHING)

Hi there welcome back to My blog after a long gap...


Finally, I have done my mock teaching and that is really one big relieve to me.. And trust me I was really afraid for my mock teaching since it was my first time..

My mock teaching was on the 11th of April 2017

FUTURE EDUCATORS... #sorryfortheblurimage







In this post, I am going to reflect few matters on :

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 dynamics reflected my teaching principles
6) What i learned in the process


 First of all, had to thank God for everything, even though the preparation for my mock teaching was so last minute.... but  I believe I have  done my best since its my first time..First of all I would like to thank Dr Ng for the feedback  that she has given whether it is good or bad....


1) How the lesson went in general

*To me I felt that I have done my best and I did not have any problem during my mock teaching.. The only problem I had when I was at the front teaching is, I was having the fear..

*Overall, The whole mock teaching went well as per planned...I completed all that I wanted the students to learn..




2) What I would do differently

* I would say , I had to change the way of teaching them to be more entertaining because I felt that some of them felt bored by circling the prepositions in the notes.

* I would change the My power point slides a little bit more enjoyable... Maybe by adding some pictures and make it more fun..

*I also would like to change the organization of the flow of teaching... To put the game at the end of the notes because the last 2 slides of notes, the students felt bored.. I should have prepare another song or game that would keep them stay concentrated during the whole class.



3) What went wrong.

* There was question one that a student gave during 3rd slide of explaining them.. To be frank, I was not prepared for the question so I went out blur thinking for the answer and that actually took time.. I should have predicted all the questions from the students.

*My time management..This is because I dragged too much concerning on the understanding level and to take note every prepositions in the sentences, and I shouldn't have took time to answer all the questions and should have ask them to wait till the end of the lesson..


4) What I liked about the lesson

* Obviously everything.. I truly liked the way, I present myself and I was also excited since it is my first mock teaching.. I could already have the imagination of becoming an educator..

* Besides, I would like to sincerely thank each and everyone who attended the class during my mock teaching and supported me all throughout the 30 minutes.... You guys really gave me good cooperation.. Thank You once again.

* I also liked the game part where it was tricking my students and they had to think.. (SIMON SAYS)





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

* The class went on well and I made all the students to be participating during the whole class time and it was actually how supposed to be done because interaction between a teacher and student is very important..


6) What I have Learned in the process

*Firstly, I have learned on how to manage my time and to speed up certain things when it is a one period lesson.

*I also learned on how to do proper slides .. Specially all the animations that I have used.. Trust me.. It really took a lot of time... And not forgetting on how to do my lesson plan since It is also my first time arranging the whole lesson all by myself.



 I think That's All from me now.. Do feel free to give comments and suggestions so that I can actually improve myself..
