About our Micro Teaching

We did a micro teaching,"Try to be the only one"last Thursday.I played a role of HRT.

☆the objectives of my pre-reading and in-reading activities☆
【In Pre-reading】
We wanted students to be interested in a new section.So we did the following activities.
(・We and students confirmed the meaning of some new words.)
・We got students to expect the content of the story from the title and new words before students read their textbook.

【In In-reading】
We wanted students to understand the paragraphs deeply.So we did the following activities.
・Students repeated every sentence after ART read.
・We asked the characters in the paragraphs.(About "the boy","the boy's grand mother","the boy's father","the boy's mother".)
・Students tried three T/F questions.

☆the strengths and weaknesses of my mini-lesson☆
【The strengths】
・When students confirmed the meaning of some new words,we picked up the tempo of their response.
・To repeat after ALT was useful for students to practice pronunciations of the paragraph.
・Three T/F questions was easy for students to check their understanding.

【The weaknesses】
・To practice some new words cost more time than we expected.
・To repeat after ALT was also cost more time.
・To expect the content of the story from the title and new words was very difficult.
・To repeat the sentences only one time was difficult for students to understand the meaning.

☆discoveries about teaching☆
・To be careful to share of time.
In a real teaching,students may do some unexpected response to teacher's question. Or it may cost more time to do some activities.
・An importance of Pre-reading activity.
It depends on Pre-reading whether students will be interested in a content and concentrate on a class.

Hello, Jasmin and Ambition.
You had good job in too short time.
Your class like a condensed real class. So I think it was very structed lesson.

At that, I want you to think about below.

I could imagine what you want to do, but it took too long time. That was "Micro" teaching, so should we act and choose some part of teaching?(I can say other groups)

Thanks!

Hi, Jasmine! This is Pizza.
I felt expecting the contents from only title was difficult, so I needed more information about story, for example characters.
Thank you for your teaching!

Hi,Jasmine☆This is Satona.
Thank you for your micro teaching!That was very good!!
Your teaching was polite and considerate to students.And how to practice new words was so understandable.A point that translate English into Japanese,or Japanese into English was beneficial for me.
While you tried students to association contents from the textbook,but it was a little difficult for them,I thought.
Anyway,your teaching was very good.I liked it!!Thank you☆

Thank you for your class.
As for your class, the main activity was the learning of new words and the connection word to word. I was sorry that I could not take all your lesson because running out of time.
It should reduce the character what are they and what did they as a papers. I guess you can play for time to wtite or speak.

I am very sorry for late comment. I think the concrete questions very useful for reading, because it needs to read the text carefully and understand it. The class went on naturally, so students will be attracted by the story after the class. Thank you for good teaching.

Jasmine,
Your lesson was very well organized and I think that you spoke more English than any of the other JETs. First Amibition was also a good ALT. It was a difficult topic and I thought you did an admirable job trying to teach it. In your post, you mentions how important pre-reading is to a lesson. Here is a way you can improve the pre-reading of your lesson:

Pre-reading: Asking students to guess what the story means from the title “Try to be the only one” was a little difficult. The title is very abstract and I think the question would have been too difficult for the students to answer. Here is one way you can do the pre-reading.
“Today we are going to read a story about a boy” The title of the story is “Try to be the only one”. Here are the new words:
Try
Die
Cried
Cry
Hate
Sun
Left
Baby
Took
Blind
Be born
Mexican American

What kind of boy is this story about? Using the new words, try to guess. For example, one possibility is: “The boy hates the sun”
