Whew~

Whew! What a relief….
I have done my simulated teaching on 27th March. Thank GOD because everything was going on just fine. I am the last person doing simulated teaching on that day. I am quite nervous at first but when I started, all the nervousness just flew away.
I decided to teach theme in Oedipus the king. I started the lesson by showing my students pictures of a wealthy man holding lots of cash and the other picture is a man who becomes a beggar. Then I asked them few questions regarding those two pictures. They were all really cooperative and had gave me good responses. After that, I proceed the lesson by going trough all the exercises and discussed the answer with my students.
I am satisfied with the way I deliver my lesson but I think there are still weaknesses here and there that I should prevail over. First, I think I should come out with more interesting exercises. My tutor also commented on my while-reading task because it is a little confusing. I also need to practice on reading aloud and slow down my speed of reading. After all, I think, I had done a great job. I think I can control the class well and my voice is also loud and clear. If I were to deliver the similar lesson again I think I should change a bit on my exercises to make it more interesting and I have to make sure that those exercises are helpful for my students.
