MY Simulated Teaching

I did my simulated teaching on the 13th of March. I taught about the characteristics of Oedipus through the Priest’s dialogue to Oedipus in the prologue. For my set induction, I showed a picture of a king, and I asked the students to describe what they see. The class cooperated, many of the students responded. I was glad they did! If the did not, I would have failed my set induction! Then, I related the description of the king to introduce the lesson. As for my pre-reading activity, I instructed the students to highlight the characteristics of Oedipus in the extract I had given them. Then for my while-reading, I called upon a few students to list down the words and phrases they underlined onto the white board. After that I asked the students to complete activity 2. I then discussed with the whole class the words and identify the connotation of the words. From the connotations that the students give to the characteristics of Oedipus in the text, I asked the students to conclude on the characteristics of Oedipus in the earlier scene. After that I instructed the students to complete task 3 at home, and we rounded up the lesson by reviewing what I had taught them for the day. I was quite nervous throughout the simulated teaching, but I am glad I was. If it was not for my nervousness, I don’t think I would be pumped enough to do the lesson.
