SEC | S19W2 : Micro Teaching
Welcome to my blog! It is another week of learning as learning never stops. Last week was about lesson plan and this week is another mind-blowing topic "micro teaching".
Before I begin, I would like to invite the following users to participate in this contest @bela90, @okere-blessing and @manuelhooks.
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)
Assuming I am given a class to teach for 20 miniutes, I will like to teach Junior Secondary school one class ( Jss 1) and the subject I would like to teach them is Physical and Helath Education.
Below is how I am going to plan my lesson before stepping into the class for effective delivery.

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?
To ensure my students remain focused on hearing me, I will make sure they;
Know what is expected of them at the end of the lesson and that will mean stating clear objectives for the lesson. I take the following steps:
I will need to used interest arousing Introduction by engaging the students and from time to time ask questions and short activities to grab the student's attention.
I will make use of visual aid and if I am teaching about animals and other living things I can download short videos for them to see the movement of the living things.
I will also present my lessons in a logical and concise manner, making use of real life examples will be of great help.
From time to time, I will encourage the students to ask questions and also share their thoughts in the lesson.
After asking questions and sharing their thoughts, I will praise them for their effort and contribution.
If distractions set in, I will;
I will address the issues immediately and ensure that students do not have side conversation with their fellow students.
I will bring back their attention by asking a simple question to engage them.
I will adjust the lesson plan to minimise distraction and bring them back to the lesson.
I will also try to remain calm while addressing the student so that the learning environment is constructive.
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 manage the 20 minutes assigned to me, I will use the following stategies;
I will use 1 minute and quickly state the lesson objectives.
I will use 2 minutes for a brief and engaging introduction to arouse the interest of the student for the lesson and grab their attention.
For the four steps in my lesson plan above, I will use 3 minutes for each steps making it 12 minutes.
I will used 3 minutes for evaluation and in this evaluation, there will be student's participation in answering of questions.
I will used 2 minutes for effective summary and conclusion and to answer unexpected questions from the students.
By logically presenting my lesson and a good time management techniques approach, I have been able to cover the leason within the 20 minutes allocated to me for the lesson and productive learning for my students.
Conclusion
Advance preparation is required in micro teaching because a good micro teaching is a powerful tools for effective delivery/teaching, professional development and successful learning by the students. A well prepared and delivered micro teaching will increase student's thinking ability, engagement, understanding and foster academic success. It encourages collaboration and develop different learning styles and build confidence and self esteem.
