A good teacher will always do his o her best in the classroom so students can learn something useful before leaving the class. Teaching is one of the nice professions that is meant for those who have the interest of others in their heart being in the classroom you can easily get offended but the ability you control yourself and make sure your students learn something is what is more important.

Assuming you are given a class to carry out Micro Teaching and you have 20 minutes to do this. Using the sample of the lesson plan above prepare a lesson plan. (Take note of the presentation and conclusion columns and present the needed information in them at least 150 words)

Let's say that I am allowed to carry out micro-teaching in JSS 3 class with just 20 minutes, my lesson sample for the micro-teaching will be like what I have presented below.

Still on assumption, while teaching your students what are the steps you took to ensure they are focused on hearing you, and if for any reason there was a distraction how were you able to tackle the issue?

I am someone who likes to discipline students as a teacher I will ensure that I will take the necessary steps to ensure my students are focused on hearing me by applying the strategies shared below.

I will set clear expectations: I will let the students know what is expected of them to do before I leave the classroom.

I will be checking the students frequently: I will make sure I throw questions to a student who seems to be a distraction to calm others down. This reminds me of my days in elementary school, how quiet I used to be in the classroom just because I didn't want my teacher to ask me questions.

I will create an interactive environment: To this I will make use of several teaching methods to engage with my students to make them feel interested in the topic.

I will manage the classroom: By managing the classroom I will make sure that I set strict rules that would stop the students from making noise or playing in the class.

---

In a situation when distraction occurs, I will tackle it by:

I will address the issue immediately: I will be very polite with the students but at the same time be firm when addressing any issue of distraction to stop the impact of the distraction.

Personal Attention/Interaction: To this if a single student is the one causing distraction, I would have a personal discussion with him or her to know the reason for his/her attitude in my class.

I will redirect attention: By doing this I will ask questions related to the topic I am teaching the students to make them pay attention to me.

Recall that you have 20 minutes assigned to you to deliver your lecture or to teach the students, how were you able to manage the time? Share with us how you managed the allocated time.

To this, careful planning is what I need to manage a 20-minute class that is assigned to me to teach my students. Without further ado, below is how I would manage the allocated time that is given to me.

---

Planning the Class

• I will outline the content of the topic and clearly define the key points that I want to cover with the students.

• I will allocate time for each of the discussion of the section. By doing this, I will break down the class into segments by assigning a certain amount of time to each sub-topic.

• I will plan for discussion and questions to keep my students engaged.

---

Teaching structure

Introduction: 2 to 3 minutes

• I will introduce the topic briefly

• I will state the objective of the topic

Main content of the topic: 12 to 14 minutes

• I will divide the topic into two points.

• I will give them a quick example.

• I will incorporate interaction with the student

---

Conclusion: 2 to 3 minutes

• I will summarize the key points of my discussion

• I will highlight the main takeaway the students need to know

• I will provide the students the opportunity to ask me questions.

That which I have shared above is how I will carefully manage the 20 minutes that will be given to me to teach my student cashbook which I will make use of stopwatch to monitor my time in the class.
