8th Class Reflection_ Who's the Best?

  8th Reflection @ the Last Reflection for my Pedagogy in Education class. The task for this last post, I think is the hardest, because the title given was::

  

"From the mock teaching sessions you have seen, choose one which you think is best. Reflect on the following aspects: teacher role in managing the students, managing the lesson, the teaching method, the lesson - content, and add two more aspects to reflect. - (to be written after you have seen all)"

  I am instructed to choose only ONE best mock teaching among my 13classmates. Tell you secretly, i actually visited all my friend's blog for the answer but none of them have posted the post about 'who's the best'. So sad... I have to complete it real quick so that my blog visitors ha enough time to give me feedback (my assignment too). I am here to apologize first for the other 12classmates which are not chosen. It is not that I do not like your mock teaching, but I just a little more prefer the one i choose for the best. Actually everyone's mock teaching has their good and bad one, some did fantastic games while some designed nice and perfect PowerPoint slides, Some explain very well while some manage the class well too. Therefore, everyone, please do not be sad for not chosen as the best here. You might be the best in others blogpost. Cheer up Guys!

My face right now. Oh NOOOOOOOOOOO

  CONGRATULATIONS __________________________ Jeremy!!

  I think yours are the best is because::

(1) You manage the class well~ No one actually take their bags and leave the class? hahaha, you answer our nonsense questions patiently too.

(2) You did manage the lesson well too, the flow of it is indeed good. You start with a story which is relevant to your topic and it even helps us to remember the formulae! And i still remember until now!

(3) The teaching method you used was great! U played game with us, ermm.. Okay, you didn't play with us, but still. The group work you gave was fantastic. I believe you did all the questions yourself right? With the AirAsia thingy and my favourite Beauty and the Beast. (well, you successfully buy me over here) Good Job!!!!

(4) the content you teach for a 30min class is sufficient, not too heavy not too light. Just nice. I think all the experiences you gained from your voluntary job in teaching does benefits you here. :)

(5) You dress very formally too with your tie. hehe, I admire teachers who dress formally. Because it somehow looks smart, to me. 

(6) I love you slides too. Although it is much simple compared with those you normally did for your presentation (those gif), but i like you PowerPoint slides too. You did highlight things that is important in he slide with RED colour front. Photos used also very clear, it did not went blurrrrrrrr when projected in our big big screen - Uniec Inspire. Well done Jeremy!

(7) I think that you are the best is also because you did prepare your things very well, you know you are using Bluetack, you brought them, you also brought a bell for your games. You are really well prepared. Paper cards, answers for the games are all cut out, and you used colour paper which better than white plain paper because it will not be too boring for students. Students do enjoy colour paper much more than plain white only.

(8) You are a little thoughtful for being environment friendly too! Haha. you used recycled paper for the game section! A tiny reminder, remember next time when you use recycled paper, make sure there are no P&C information on the printed side, students nowadays are 'scary' in some sense. Hehehe

(9) You present yourself confidently. :) Good. You are not afraid of your students. 

(10) You smile throughout the whole lesson too. ;) Nice one Jeremy.

  I think 10 reasons for choosing you is a lot now! But, Bear in mind, No one is perfect ya~ Everyone has flaw, There are still many things to be improved too Jeremy. Dear all, you guys did well in your mock teaching too. Do not give up! Keep improving yourself. Even I myself.

Our first but last complete photo.

  Here, a small sharing.
   I enjoyed this class very very much. Very nice class which our lecturer really conducted the class way much differently compared with others. But unfortunately, i heard that next semester's pedagogy class will not be the same lecturer anymore. Maybe this is the last photo of my lecturer will be taking with her pedagogy's students in our Uni? Are we the last batch of pedagogy students she's having in our university? Perhaps.
  I wanted to take the opportunity to apologise for all the nonsense i did in the class and thank you everyone for your patients toward me. Hehe.  
  And, sincerely, Thank you Dr. Thousands words couldnt speak out the appreciation from me to you. Thank You for all the guidance :) Glad to have you. Dear Dr, you should be proud now! Because this is the first class that i receive feedbacks from all my friends that they will miss this class which i never receive before for all other previous class. Dr, you are really a very successful educators. :) I always believe that, a good educator is the one that students will still remember, respect and love even the educator no more teaching them. And this is also one of my goal of being an educator, my definition of a Good Teacher.

Last chance of tidying this.
(for this sem :p)

A little thought for [Totto-Chan]
  Finish reading this. A story about a little girl name Totto-Chan who had been expelled from a school but she only know about it on her 20th birthday. Totto-Chan is a cute, innocent and disciplined girl. Or i should say, She is a good girl as always says by her headmaster in her second school which named Tomoe. Why it is Tomoe? Read the novel and find out yourself. haha. Okay, lets skip the details of the story which everyone could just find out themselve.
  At the ending of the story, it was quite sad. Why? Don't want tell you. End of novel did talk about Mr. Kobayashi. His story. :) He is indeed a good teacher. Very good one. Totto-Chan is so lucky that she has a very supportive family, friends and teachers especially Mr. Kobayashi. It was quite sad to read that she lost her friend and Rocky.
  It's too short. I would say. It's only 100pages. It would be very nice if there is a movie version of it.(i searched for it, but come out many youtube shortfilm). I still wanted to know more about totto-Chan, more about the little she love during school time, more about everything and ofcause more about the respectful headmaster.

  It will still be the best if it is a printed virtual book because i love the feeling of holding a book and read it compare with sticking my eyes to the computer/tablet. I used to read, my mother would not hesitate to buy me books (ofcause there is a limit too), she say she rather i read books than reading online because its bad for the eyes(thats was years back). Now, i buy my own book but English book or all books here are NOT CHEAP at all. For Western countries or other countries, novels only cost them few dollars or even few pounds, not like here, at least 30-40 ringgit a book.
  To all books lovers out there, especially English books, every year there is a bookfair named BBW (big bad wolf) which sell books much cheaper than buying in bookstore. Do pay a visit next time. I've been buying books there for the past few years. Around 100+ringgit i could buy.. Hmmm.. At least 8-10 of them. (cheapest novel is RM5?)

  Thats all from me. Sorry for all the books thingy! Can't stop myself. Hahaha. See ya!
