Simulated Teaching -Year 4
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.

love our mother earth...
Hello to all again.I’m back for my second reflection of science. This time around, me and my group members, Thanusia and Khadijah worked together to complete a 1 hour lesson plan for the first assignment. It's basically a rough idea of how we are going to conduct our 2 lessons of micro teaching in our class with our friends as our pupils. As for me, we are used to with simulated teaching and it helped us to improve in many ways because we would be given a feedback on our strength and weakness of our teaching. Therefore, we understand that technology can be used for tutorial learning, exploratory learning, or as application and communication tools. For instance; in my group, we prepared a lesson in which the pupils would know the consequences of global warming to our mother earth. Hence, we are in directly instilling a good moral values so that pupils would care and love for their earth. Since, we are focusing on our Earth, I came across a nice video and I hope you enjoy watching it because it shows the beauty of our earth and the nature. So, do LOVE and care for our Mother EARTH. Enjoy the clip..=)
