micro teach big panic

12th November

Well I missed a lesson due to illness which I hate to do feel guilty and not ill enough all the time, and don’t get to enjoy it. So the following week I returned and tried to catch up what I missed. I had in my absence spent some time working on my micro-teach lesson plan and its not begging to come together. It’s stupid I get into such a panic about these things because I half feel I should write the final version first but I made myself brain storm lots of ideas onto paper in a disorganised mess and from this I cleared my mind of all the little bits and pieces I need to remember to include. Once I had them all together it came together quite well. I was thinking about ways to asses the learners achievements and decided for the task that a sheet of paper containing lines to cut and a space beside each line to draw down the cut glass edge would allow us to compare the goal with the result in a simple manner. The part I’m most concerned about is the use of the time effectively. I don’t want to talk for 30 minits because it’s not reflective of my lessons and how I work, that said I need to speak about safety as it’s relevant and important also I should discuss the tools we will be using .I’m nervous about asking questions to the group, for whatever reason I don’t want to appear patronising and I don’t want to ask questions for the sake of it. So much to worry about huh I bet you’re glad u don’t have to do this. Why am I worried about 30 minuets I regularly teach 2-2.5 hours.
