Reflection on Micro Teaching

It was definitely not an easy task to plan a lesson. We are required to prepare a Set Induction session and our group had chosen the play Antigone by Sophocles and we focused on Character and Characterization. I was thankful that this was a task to be done in pairs. So we did not have much problems in generating ideas to plan for the set induction. During the first day that the micro teaching started, I found out some of my friend's weaknesses and as a result, my partner and I decided to change the lesson in which we had prepared. Thank god, we did the right thing. I was pretty sure that our first lesson plan would be rejected in the first place. So during the presentation everything went well. We were glad that we managed to plan and finally present well. Being among the later groups to go and present, we were able to analyze and improve whatever needed. Basically our set induction presents the relationship between Creon and Haemon in the play, through the song Perfect by Simple Plan. While presenting, I found out that it was not easy for a teacher to capture students' interest to the lesson. Having the advantage of using a song in which every one was familiar with, we managed to make them understand the relation between both characters, as well as being able to derive the characteristics depicted in the song as a representation of what is in the play. All in all, I think that the micro teaching has exposed us to different approaches and also at the same time knowing the right procedures in carrying out a lesson.
