Lucky members of the St. Alexander's group will be presenting their micro-teaching lessons THIS Friday. It just so happens that I am part of this group. Although things will be stressful, I am actually quite pleased to present so quickly after my mini-micro experience. As it stands, everything is very fresh and new in my mind. I am in the "teaching mode" and hopefully this will be beneficial to my presentation of my topic. I am nervous about how my students will interact and react with the lesson. I am in a grade 8 class so the level of inconsistency amongst the class is left to be imagined. I am in a great class, however grade 8's are always unpredictable (but I assume each grade level can argue the same). Either way, it will be an experience in itself. Preparing the lesson plan is what I fear the most. It seems like a lot of work, and a lot of work that I have no experience doing! I assume other students are in the same boat, which is reassuring at best.
I know one thing for sure, and that is that I can not wait until the weekend comes. It will feel great to have another task completed and learn that much more along the way. Each lesson I teach I will gain much more than I put into it. This is the joy of teaching, you get WAY more out of things than what you put in.
Until another pressing moment discerns me, I think this post is complete!
