Any changes?...Hmm...

If I were to deliver the similar lesson again, I would make some changes for it. I think that I could have done better with some correction of my activities and improve the way I present. From Ms Kastoori’s advice, I should have separated the extract for the earlier scene and the later scene. The lengths of the extracts also need to be adjusted since they were not well balanced. If I had done so, students could have seen the changes of Oedipus’ character even clearer. For the while-reading, I would change the exercise because that is what most of my course mates were doing which was identifying the connotation of the words they have found in the pre-reading stage. After reviewing my own lesson, I find the while-reading activity is a bit redundant. So, I should have made some changes to that activity to make it more interesting for the students.
Another thing I would like to change about the lesson is myself. I was not well-prepared and that affected my confidence. I didn’t prepare the answers for the activity and when one of my students made a mistake, I was corrected by Ms Kastoori and that affected my performance as well. So, before I have any presentation, I need practice and review my presentation. I will learn from this mistake and not repeat it again because it is quite embarrassing and I want to better in my presentations especially my simulated teachings.
