Last week Tuesday, which was on the 28th of July 2009, my group actually presented our simulated teaching on the topic of "Earth in the universe system". We were given the honor to present for an hour because most of our friends did not have the CD-Rom which should be incorporated during the teaching. Therefore, i would say million thanks to our lecturer because he actually gave us the time to carry out the whole lesson from set induction to the closure. Talking about the lesson, i started of with the set induction as we showed a video in which captured the location of the earth and other planets in the sequence. So therefore, after the video, i actually made the pupils to list out the names of the planets in sequence, for instance; starting from the sun, and all the other planets.
After that, i went through the CD-Rom provided for that specific topic and the pupils were told why the earth is suitable for living tings to survive. Once, i was done with my activity, Khadijah, my group member took over and she distributed the work sheet.She told my classmates to follow her instruction in order for them to complete the task properly. In the task they are to colour the planets and then cut and stick them on the correct sequence according to the list of planets. My friends had so much fun doin that activity because it allows them to be hands on and it could be assessed whether they have understood the lesson or not.
Once they were done, Khadijah called out a group and they presented thier work infront of the class. our friends actually had so much fun doing the hands on work, thus the pupils would definitely enjoy the activity. After that, Thanusia actually caried out the last activity on the topic of "what would happen when the earth gets closer or further from the sun". Hence, the manila card were distributed in order for the pupils to draw a mind map on the causes of it. She allocated 5mins for the pupils to come out with their own mind map. Then, she ask the pupils to come infront to write their suggested answers on the board. Although some of our pupils gave fantastic points, we could not accept it because those were not the expexted answers from Year Four pupils.
Then, Thanusia concluded the lesson by telling to love and care our mother earth, because we cant find for a replacement in other planets. Then, we ended the lesson. Overall, we had good experience and it was the first one because we never had a micro teaching for science before. Indeed, it was a great experience because we are going to be future Science teachers.
