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..

    1. Y I choose prepositions is because prepositions is an important grammar that every students must know before they go in depth to learn new things.
