TP3 self evaluation

Sometimes you think that what you did was good, until someone puts in the picture other alternatives that you could and should have done. And this was what happened to me. Looking at the lesson plan, it seemed perfect but reflecting on things that I should have included, made me aware of how much time and thinking should be spent on organizing and structuring a lesson plan. During the lesson,i planned a quiz and it went as I was expecting, but if I had to do it again, I will change lot of things. First of all, I would consider the idea that the students themselves do the questions to be give to their friends, instead of me doing all the work. This way, it would be the students who would be doing the lesson. Moreover, I should have written the questions on a presentation rather than just reading them. This way the students would have been able to read the question themselves and maybe using pictures or animation can also be a trigger to motivate the students more to participate during the game.Regarding the time spent on the quiz, I am now realizing that it was way too long. I should have divided the time and instead of doing one activity, doing two or even starting something new. Even looking from the perspective of the students. I think that staying for a long time, in the same place makes you feel bored and thus loosing motivation. Although the students participated throughout the whole time, I think that doing something different would have been better. These evaluations are helping me to improve on my teaching skills since I am reflecting on my weaknesses and on those things that could go better and therefore, reflecting is helping me to be a better teacher. Take care, Daniela xoxo
