Lets back to the topic of the day. Ended my mock teaching today.
Everything goes on well. After my mock teaching, my friend and I went to
lvl2 for the Free Market 2.0 for 'shopping' and also to complete our
given task by our lecturer for Social Entrepreneurship. From there, i
had another Henna drawing which is FOC.
After Mock Teaching. Reflect My own mock teaching:
1-How the lesson went in general.
2-What I would do differently.

1.How the lesson went in general?
I would say good. When on as expected, flow of the presentation also
did went on as what i had practised too. I started the class by asking
students to guess the topic we are going to learn today. And i answered
them by showing a song title 'Im a circle'. There are total 3videos used
in this mock teaching including 2 songs and 1 teaching material. To
search for the suitable videos and a short and simple one, it takes me
up to around 2hours plus, included downloading and trimming the videos.
This is because i myself have to watch every single one of them to
ensure it is okay. Hahaha.
The Circle song is so brainwashing to me. I still can sing out now, '2
pi r sounds like area to me~~~'. I added movement in the song too to
make it a little mpre lively for students. One of the reason is because i
scare my friends are feeling tiring and bored after so many mock
teaching before me. But for the dancing part, i did worried about 'how
if they are not willing to participate', but Jen say she will dance
along too. Okay! On! Hahaha
I used Kahoot too for my quiz section. Taught by a senior of mine a day
before my mock teaching. Or i should say 12-hrs before. Luckily it is
not complicated. Once again thank you senior and thank you Jen for
helping in the Kahoot. :D
I started my class with a song-Im a circle
2.What I would do differently?
Hmm.. If I'm given another chance for the same topic same mock
teaching. I would change my PowerPoint a little bit which is adding
another few slides of sample questions for students to understand how to
apply the formulae before asking them to attempt Kahoot.
And, i should have start shopping my long pant at least a month ago. Haha.
I would also prepare some gift for students who achieve high score for
the Kahoot quiz. Cannot give food is because....... Im lazy to explain.
But i do not have enough time to prepare small gift such as bookmarks or
pen for them.(due to a night before, hehe)
3.What went wrong?
In my opinion, first, the Kahoot quiz. I really should have shown a few
sample question before the quiz. Second, my attire. No reason to
defend. my fault. :)
The dancing section of my Mock Teaching, Only 5 simple moves
( cant rotate T-T)
( cant rotate T-T)
4.What I liked about the lesson?
About my own lesson? Ofcause is everything! hahahhaha. I like the most
is the dancing part which everyone dancing together, although it is only
a few simple moves. I also like how shock they look when they listen to
the first song -'Im a circle'. I also like the moment when students are
so happy for everyone getting correct for the same question. The
'finally im correct' look from them. Hahaha XD So sad, i cant snap photo
with my handphone that time.
5.If the activities and class dynamics reflected my teaching principles.
Yes. As i always says, haha, i think even my friends are bored of it, "as long you likes your teacher, you will actually follow what they ask you to do no matter how childish it is". hahaha, Maybe because my friends likes me thats why they are all dancing along with me? My teaching principles are never give up and believe in children that they are all born with kind-hearted. Well, i know all these could not be seen in only 1 lesson. But i believe i will always follow my own principle in teaching. Extra: Being strict but friendly is also my own life principle. =]]]

6.What I Learned in the process?
I learned alot. First, from the aspect of how to plan a lesson plan.
Lesson plan really takes time, it is not a last minutes job. you can't
actually do it in an hour time because you have to really read read read
again to ensure there is no single mistake. Well, practice makes
perfect. The more we plan a lesson plan, i think next time, we can plan a
lesson plan in 5minutes time? Just Kidding.
Second, I learned how to conduct a class effectively. Not to say
perfect, but at least i have the chance to really teach a class.
Although once I did worked in a tuition center but it is different
because that time, i do not know what is teaching approaches, what is
class management. Now i know.
Third, I learned how to use Kahoot. Really interesting and fun. Simple and easy to master it. Will definitely use again.
Fourth, I learned about friendship. =) It is really true what others
always says. The way you treat others is the way others treat you. I am
really glad and happy to have you guys. I mean, everyone of you here now
reading this. Thank you.
Credit to lecturer, taken when im explaining the maths questions
As a conclusion, i really gain alot from here.Really worth it for those
sleepless nights. Hehe. For the emoji exit ticket. thank you everyone
for the feedback. Appreciate it. Anyone want to attempt my Kahoot quiz
again? Can ask me personally. If you miss the songssss, Youtube: (1) Im a
circle song and (2) The circle song.
Best of luck everyone for you mock teaching!
You guys ROCK!
Traffic light? Sorry for the cheap looking of the paper cards. hehe. since only using once, so i didnt do it perfectly. Hahahahahah. Definitely will improve it if im using it long term.
Thank you Jeremy for completing the Homework and for the feedback =]
Much appreciate for all the feedback on Emoji Exit Tickets.
hye LingLing~
ReplyDeleteJust read your post and previous one.
Well indeed you really improve from what Dr ask you to.
i can see how you really work for it. if i am your student, i will really enjoy to learn what circle is as it start with awesome video~
one question to ask,
about giving the emoji tickets,
are u going to do it in real class? as in every time of the class or just certain classes?
thank you~~
Thank you very much. :D
DeleteFor the emoji exit ticket, nope, i wont give every class because i believe students themselves will definitely bored of it. I think i will b giving during the first class of the topic and the last class of that particular topic.
Given it for the first class is to make sure students is okay with the new topic they are learning while for giving last class is to know do they know this topic well.
And ofcause, i will try not to give the same emoji exit ticket everytime, i willl try to change the pattern. Haha
Thank you for asking :D
Yo YueLing~ thanks for the maths class and it was creatively taught~ although the songs were abit childish... but i would have folo the dance if i were form 3 student because it is too catchy~ XD
ReplyDeleteohh~ u said u will not give food as reward, can give a valid reason? Because I don't see is a problem~ looking forward to ur replyyyyyy :3
Hi Jeremy! Thanh you!! XD, but if i am form 3 students, i will follow the dance too. As i always says, as long the students like you, they actually will follow instruction given by u, hahaa, if they do not like you, even you are playing their favourite game, they will still try to ignore you. :D You dance quite well jeremy! haha
DeleteAs for your question, not giving food as a reward.. Hmm
this is really common for giving food and snack even during my own school time, but i remember once our lecturer mentioned, giving them food you have an extra responsibility which is how if students get stomach discomfort or allergy after taking the food you gave?
Haha, i will still prefer to give some stationary, bookmarks or even sometime compliment and praises works well too. Since kid are vert fragile and some even very sensitive to food (sometime even teacher also dunno), food would not b my first choice.
Thank you jeremy for asking!
No probs~ thanks for reminding~ :D
DeleteHi there Ling! Your class was fun and interesting. Just a comment to you, you're too strict in class. Maybe a little friendlier would be good.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything you regret doing during your mock teaching? Hope to see your reply soon :)
Thank you Jen and for the feedback :D
DeleteAnything regret During the mock teaching.. Hmmm. i think it would be the one sentence i spoke to 'students', which is "i tried the question i can finish in 5s". hahaha. Actually i was talking on the aspect of a friend but not a teacher, nevermind, will be careful next time. :D
Thank you jen :DDD
It's okay. Learn from mistakes and never repeat the same mistakes again okay?
Deletehye YueLing..congrates for you because done had mock teaching.. what you feeling?? Actually, I also had done mock teaching and I teach subject English and the topic " Our Self ".. You are lucky because had experience teach at tuition. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI felt so relieve! Haha. Owhh! I see, i think i never see you before in my pedagogy class? Well, how do you feel about finishing your mock teaching? Did you enjoyed it?
Ya, true, i should say, i really never regret on working part time in a tuition center, although i did sacrificed my sweet times for school holidays T-T.
Nice to meet you too :)))
HI....Yue Ling.. I believe that you have done a great job and make the class more interesting with a dance.. Good Job my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Priscilla! Will surely improve more in future! ^-^
DeleteGood day my friend! I think you did a great job in your mock teaching. You made the class interesting by making the students to dance and sing along to the song. Hope you will succeed in life. Keep it up and take care my friend ��
ReplyDeleteThank you Ash, Question! Do you still remember the dance move? Hahahhaa
DeleteHye Yue Ling, wow ! looks like you've done very well, congrates for that .
ReplyDeletejust wondering, if you ever had inspiring one of your fav teacher in your previous time as a student?
Thank you ^-^
DeleteYes i did, I also did answer that question in my forum too! Maybe you could check back our forum post?
Hai Yue Ling!
ReplyDeleteDuring your mock teaching, you are really quite strict. Maybe your strict could be not using too much? Because student might won't be like to facing a strict teacher for the whole year.. Huhuhu...
You did mention earlier that you practice your mock teaching before you enter the classroom, will you apply that in the future before you entering the real class?
But then when I see the way you use Kahoot in the class. But I don't suggest that much because not all the school can bring phone to school especially in government school. Maybe you can think of bringing them to computer lab? That might be a good idea also but make sure the wifi connection is strong :D
I know Dr. did mention about the skirt you wore on that day, is sokay lah Ling... I understand you, you too tall xD Next time, shopping with me and we'll find skirt for you :D
Hello Mimi, Hmm.. strict? Okay, thank you for the feedback!
DeleteYa, i did practised before my mock teaching because this is my first mock teaching. haha, Yes ofcause i will! As a new educator, I will surely practrse every lesson before class to ensure my class will goes on smoothly. Maybe i will stop practising when i am a very experinced teacher? No. a preparation before class is always a must. ^_^
Yes mimi, i stated in the lesson plan that this class is conducted in a computer lab. Hahahah. Thank you for the reminding Mimi.
Hahha.. the skirt... haiz... Hahhaha Thank you Mimi :)
thank you for taking time to read my post.
Hi, Yue Ling! First thing I want to tell you is that I liked the video that you use on that day. Haha!!
ReplyDeleteI just want to ask one thing, do you have any other teaching aids instead of using Kahoot! if you're gonna teach this in real classroom? Waiting for your reply, thank you~
Hi Fizy! Thank you for asking! You can still search for the video in youtube. the name of the songs are stated above.
DeleteUsing Kahoot is also something very new to me that i learn 1 day before my mock teaching. ofcause i will try to look for more different teaching aid in future to make the classes interesting. Thank you for taking your time to give me some feedback :)
Hello teacher Ling😊 Based on my view, you gave the best during you mock teaching. But please dont be strict teacher Ling . I also like the video you used as your teaching aids. Its really entertaining while we studied the topic of the day 'circle'. Is there any other teaching material you prefer to use in future for your students?
ReplyDeleteThank you Vetha. Im sorry if i scared you that day.
DeleteOther teaching material... Hmm.. Maybe you means teaching aid? Other than using online quiz, i would also prefer using physical games which could involve most of the student and it is the best if i could involve all students. For example: mystery box, musical chairs and etc.
Thank you for the feedback Vetha :)
