The Question in MY Head

How can I make my activities more interesting? That is what was bothering me even before I prepared for my simulated teaching. I find it difficult to be creative and at the same time make sure the message of the lesson is put in clear view for the students. My main point is to make sure the students gets the message of the lesson, and being so focused on that point, I tend to forget that, yes, maybe the students will get the message, but if one is not interested in the lesson, how can one learn anything? I did spend a lot of time figuring out of what I should and should not do on my lesson, but in the end I just focused on getting the message through. I lack inspiration on being creative with classroom activities. I do need input from friends and lecturers. Looking back at my course mates’ simulated teachings, and how creative they were coming up with activities that I myself could not imagined; I have now some ideas on how to manipulate the text and come up with far more interesting activities. But still, that is not enough.
