Reflection 1

  Micro Teaching Class Reflection
Last meeting, we learned about how to open the class before starting the lesson. First, we have to set a good introduction. The purpose is to create a good atmosphere in the class. I believe a good atmosphere in the class can make the class enjoyable and fun. So it is important. To make a good introduction, we, as a teacher, can do something to grab the students’ attention. For example, when we come in the class, make sure we don’t bow our head while walking. Make sure we are looking at the students. After that, we can greet the students by saying good morning or we can ask their condition whether they are ready for the class or not.

Before we get into the materials, review the last meeting will be better. We can ask the students what they learned on the last meeting to make sure they still remember the materials or not. On this part, we can make a short test about the last materials. The test can be either oral test or written test. After that, we introduce the new topic to the students. We can do something to stimulate the students to guess about what the new topic is. We can show video, for example, or play a game or anything. The most important point is that the stimulation should be related to the new topic.

Beside learned about how to open the class, we also learned how to close the class, because it is not good if we have an opening in the beginning but we do not have a closing in the end. Before we really close the class, it is better for us, as a teacher, to do something. For example, concluding remarks or review what we have learned to make sure the students understand the materials. On this part, we can give the students some assignments. The assignments can be taken home or can be finished in the class directly. It depends on the time we have. After that, we can close the class. Don’t forget to say ‘good bye’
