Review on Mock Teaching.

Picture will all my friends & Best Lecturer ever (Spot the lady in middle)

A little review on all the mock teachings I've experienced during Pedagogy Class. Being able to attend and given the opportunity to attend your lessons are the best thing! Here's some honest review and feedback from me to you. :)

1. Ashwini (THE PRETTY TEACHER)😗

Hey pretty teacher-to-be! Despite of you being the first person to do your mock teaching, I think you did pretty well. Your lesson was clear, information was sufficient and you  managed your time well. Slides were good too. I like how you use the traffic light method to control the class and that you are patience enough to your students. Just one thing for you. I wished you will look more into the activities in class to engage with your students and I think it would be great if you can add in a more creative approach during your introduction to hook your students to your lesson. :)

2. Asrianins (THE SHY TEACHER)🙈

Prepositionss.. I remember your topic. Your lesson was really fun especially where you include a mini game to guess the prepositions during your lesson. I love the mini game so much as it able to attract us and in the same time help us to remember better. Your teaching approach were simple and clear. I think you did okay but just a little reminder to you. When planning your lesson, try not to include too much information in a limited time. And do not be afraid or feel shy to teach because you are the teacher, my friend :)

3. Aziee (THE LOVING  TEACHER)😍

Hi teacher Azie. I like your enthusiasm in teaching and the energy you have! You go girl! I enjoyed your lesson so much because I feel self-belonging and  cared for during class. You showed kindness and you are very polite to your students. I love how you included the "Kahoot" game during your lesson which I think is a good activity to make the lesson interesting. The "Kahoot" is a good approach but I think sometimes it's not a good choice too due to the low internet connection. The exercise that you gave also involve drawing which is think is a little not appropriate for Secondary school students. In all, I love your class and I am sure you will be a good teacher in the future! :)

4.Yue Ling (THE STRICT TEACHER)😟

Teacher Ling.. Hmm.. My first impression on you is you are very strict. I'm afraid of you during your class. Yes, sometimes it's good to be strict as you are able to control the students but not too strict because students will not like it. Sorry. Overall, I can say that your mock teaching was a great success! I was thinking to pick you as the best mock teaching. But, Jeremy won by 10%. I love how you are able to attract my interest to your lesson when you started your lesson with The Circle Song. The video you showed is also good, where clarity and simplicity is there. I salute you for dancing to the circle formulas song which I think it's a good approach to help students to remember the formulas, The song is kinda addictive too which is good. 

5. Jeremy (THE BEST TEACHER)👍

*refer to the previous post

I reviewed you already.

6. Mimi (THE CUTE TEACHER)😊

Hi cutee pie! You look so cute. Couldn't imagine how will you look like when you really became a teacher! Awww.. How cute and adorable! Your lesson were straight forward and is understandable. I love how you explain the slides with confidence and clear. Your teaching approach is quite simple and I think it would be great if you can look into some creative activities to be done during your teaching to make your lesson interesting and livelier. One more thing to add on, your exercise is little too heavy for Form 1 students maybe an appropriate amount is sufficient enough to lead to the effective learning. 

7. Priscilla (THE ENERGETIC TEACHER)😜

Hi! Your lesson was great! Slides were clear, simple and nice! I love your confidence when you teach and your voice projection was loud and clear. The "Simon Say" game is a very creative and effective approach used during your teaching, There's also engagement between you and your students and it's good to see that you involve your students into active participation. It will be great if you use a better way to answer your students during Q&A session and to accept their questions wholeheartedly. Overall, I enjoyed your class. :)

8. Alessandra (THE NERVOUS TEACHER)😐

Hi teacher! Your class was okay. Love how you are able to control your class and your attentiveness while you are teaching. I was a little restless during your class and I realise you called my name asking questions (I think about 3 times) to check on me making sure I'm paying attention. That was a good move. I wish you could look into better approach in teaching especially teaching Maths because it is quite a heavy subject. Not to include too many concepts at a time especially for Maths. You also seem a little nervous and unsure of what you are teaching. Try not to show your nervousness and be confident even though you are not! Hope to see you teaching next time :)

9. Fizyy (THE COOL TEACHER)😆

Hi korean teacher! I love seeing your slides. I anticipate which artist image will you be putting next in your slides. It's interesting to see how you insert the images in your presentation to make your lesson interesting. Usage of Kahoot is also good. You're a funny teacher too where you are able to take in jokes from your students and laugh together. I wished you can speak a little louder when you teach and not going too fast when explaining your lesson.

10. Mogannah (THE CONFIDENT TEACHER)😀

Sexy teacher in Red Saree! I was immersed by your teaching in class. I love your confidence, your clear voice projection and how well you are able to manage your class without being strict. It's interesting that you are able to relate the questions to PT3 questions and you explaining on steps in solving the questions one by one. Your explanation was clear and easily understandable. Although your slides is very simple and plain, your explanation had covered it up for you which leads to effective teaching. A simple reminder to you: Not to be too confident with your answer and try to accept questions and answers from your students. Overall, I love your lesson because everything was so goo that I was about to nominate you for the Best Mock Teaching. 

11.Malar (THE OKAY TEACHER)😌

Your class was okay. Slides were good, clear explanation.Direct teaching. I wish you had given the students a list of formulas for calculating the areas first before the Quiz time in Kahoot. This will be better way for effective pedagogical teaching and learning. Time management is also important so remember to plan your lesson before hand so that you are able to achieve the learning outcome and that other lessons will not be interrupted.

12. Vetha (THE FUN TEACHER)😁

I love your lesson. Your content was sufficient and appropriate to your learning objective and outcome.  I really like the all the activities that you plan during your lesson. Especially the one describing the 4 Popular Hollywood Artist. It really attracts me a lot and I enjoyed the session so much. I can see that you really put effort in providing colour paper, manila card and even printing a full A4 size image! As mentioned by Dr Ng, although your activities are simple, you are able to achieve your learning objectives and outcome. I wish you can have a deeper and clearer explanation in your class so that students can understand better. Your explanation was a little short and quick.  

13. Vimel (THE SCARY TEACHER)😔

1,2,3 Action! Wow! I'm really impressed by you during your mock teaching! It's an interesting role you play with which is different from the others. You are so into your character that even when I try to joke around in your class, you prohibited me from doing so. (a little hurt tho) I fascinated to see how you are so into your character and being serious in class. You are able to control your class so well that all students listened to you. Your activity was also great as you are able to involve all students into your activity. Being too strict has its benefits but I think it would be better if you could put down your character a little, not much then everything would be perfect. :)

I'm finally done with the reviewing. Thank you all for taking time reading my comments and honest review. I hope that no one is disheartened by my post for I am just trying to give you all a feedback with the hope that you are able to accept it and take it as a process of becoming better. Even I myself have flaws and mistakes during my mock teaching. Duhhhh. No one is perfect and REMEMBER, mistakes leads to success!

That's all from me for now! Good night! :)
