PREPARATION FOR MOCK TEACHING....
Hi Good Day everyone, This week we missed our class due to some reasons but what was fun is we had class through online and it was very interesting if u ask me cause we were actually typing all our ideas in a chit chat box and it was actually fun as that is what technology brings us now...
What we actually discuss in the chit -chat is about classroom management.. My friends and I was ready at 9:00 am excitedly waiting to attend online class as I am experiencing it the first time.. Dr. Ng asked questions and waited for our replies to give comment.. Basically It was about what is the difference about a class teacher and the subject teacher and what roles does they play respectively??? A class teacher is a person who is responsible in the class organizing and choose the leader, manage the classroom boards and meeting the parents.. What the subject teachers do is concentrate on what are they teaching and be sure that students can cope up with the subjects...
THE QUESTION FOR THIS WEEK IS
PREPARATION FOR MY MOCK TEACHING
I cannot believe that time passes so fast and the mock teaching starts next week...
Mock teaching is a opportunity for us that we should not take it for granted as it is the time for us to present ourselves as a teacher. . I believe that I have many things to get done before my turn to present as a teacher in front of my lecturer and friends. It's nervous a side and happy a side. I am full of excitement on how I am going to bring up myself in front of everyone. I am afraid of making mistakes and getting myself down as I am afraid of presenting and teaching... I hope I can get rid of everything and be prepared for myself before the day comes.. Since it is my first time, therefore i am obviously nervous about it... Anyway I believe practice makes perfect !!!!!! so I will take this as my practice.
Before my turn comes, the things that I prepared was planning my lesson. First, by choosing the best topic to present on that day. We are supposed to do lesson plan on three topics and choose
the best one at the end. I am choosing ENGLISH AS MY MAJORING ... So I have choose grammar to be my elements of teaching.. As what Dr. Ng has taught and guide us all this while , I managed to successfully complete two lesson plan and complete worksheets for one topic that i have chosen ..... I hope I cannot complete more this weekend and have more time to prepare myself on time management..
The challenging part was to design my very own lesson plan according to the syllabus and handout of course the handouts.. This is because, I need to design it very well and accordingly based on student's ability and their interest on the subject. As a teacher, I should also understand the students needs and how to convey them the best for the lesson. So, designing my handouts was very tough. I believe I have designed it neatly in order to make the students understand and not forgetting the group work that students need to complete is the major part that shows they have understand.. If they have done it, then I think there is a achievement for me..
Google and You tube is actually helping me in resolving most problems that I face because there is a lot of examples to be taken note and to be creative in teaching... Being a teacher is quite challenging. My thought when I was in primary and secondary school is being a teacher is the simple occupation ever and this thought stops when I started to learn pedagogy. It is not easy as we think because the trust has been given to us and we are the one who is responsible for the emergence of a leader in the future.... Students is actually depending on us to make sure that they score well in their examination and every teacher is A ROLE MODEL for students...
I think That is all from me... The only think In my mind is to complete rest of the thibgs that I should prepare and the materials that I am going to choose.. I hope I can bring out all that I have learned so far in my mock teaching...
TIPS THAT I SHOULD POSSES AND TELL MYSELF BEFORE MY MOCK TEACHING
SELF CONFIDENT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A TEACHER TO STOOD UP IN FRONT OF STUDENTS AND TEACH THEM KNOWLEDGE..
OVERCOMING THE FEAR BEFORE THE MOCK TEACHING IS IMPORTANT..
