Good Morning class…

Simulated teaching is one of the compulsory things in our list as an education student. No matter what happen, we still have to go through our simulated teaching. I have gone through a few presentations before this in Maktab but I am still nervous when it was my time to do simulated teaching. I had goose bumps all over my body. I have done simulated teaching on teaching of short stories last semester with Dr. Edwin, and he has guide us on how to teach in a right and proper way, where he would stop us and correct our mistakes so in future, we will not repeat the same mistake over and over again.
At this semester, it was not Dr. Edwin who evaluated us, but it was Miss Baiti. At first, I thought she was not that fussy, but my expectation was wrong, as she critics lots. At this point, we have just to teach the set induction and pre-reading. At first I was so blur as I do not have any idea what to do for the induction. Then I got the idea to use two pictures, one is a picture of a young woman, and another one is a woman of about 40 above. I asked the students to compare between the loves that they would show towards the two women. It must have differences. Next, I asked them how they would react if one day they found out that their wives are also their own mother. Then, I continue to my pre-reading exercise. I have expected after I end my lesson, Miss Baiti would asked me so many questions, and she said that my induction is not so suitable with the text that I have chosen for the pre-reading. In addition, the way I deliver my lesson is not very smoothly. I am too nervous to the extent that I forget to look on my script even though I have prepared. I guess that is how most of us feel whenever we are asked to speak in front of many people.
