...at last...

i am through with my micro-teaching. i am so glad that it turned out so well. well i should be thankful that i adhered to my idea to change my lesson plan. what i presented earlier in the class was not the original lesson plan or topic i prepared long time ago. i had to change it last Monday. Actually, I got pissed off. For nth time, i submitted the same detailed lesson plan I prepared to my professor for her checking. and for the nth time also, she put different corrections everytime i submit it to her. It was so disheartening to see different corrections or comments every time I submit my paper to her after I implement her corrections or suggestions. kung sana eh laging bagong lesson plan ang ipinapasa ko, hindi naman eh. ang akin lang, mas maraming oras ang natipid, mas maraming panahon ang hindi nasayang kung inayos na niya ang pag-review ng detailed lesson plan nung una pa lang.... so when the last time i asked her to check my detailed lesson, since i decided to use it for my micro-reaching, i was disappointed to see that she had another correction

arrrggghhh!!!!!!! that very moment i decided to have a new lesson plan for my micro-teaching. I also decided not to submit it to her for checking. So when I got home that Saturday afternoon, I started doing my lesson plan. When I presented that lesson plan earlier before the class, I was nervous since I know for a fact that I am not sure if I prepared a good lesson plan and I was scared if I would be able to do the teaching demonstration well.

I am thankful that my ever cooperative and helpful classmates really participated during the demonstration... I did it! Well, my professor had some remarks but she said my presentation was really good. My learning objectives were well-defined and my teaching technique was good too. Haayyy... may nasabi rin siyang tama sa wakas... or was it me only?

Come March 12, I have to submit a module for EDUC9. My classmate who's doing a peer evaluation to my module said I prepared a very good module... We discussed about it after classes. I have to evaluate her module. Sorry if you think I am bragging too much about these things.. It is just that I feel better when I know that I am doing right things right.. hehehe speaking of being efficient and effective at the same time...

Aside from the module, we have to submit a portfolio in EDUC4 containing our reflection paper. Nope, not a single reflection paper but I am talking here about reflection paperssssss. one papaer for every meeting we have in the class.. can u beat that?! that portfolio is 30% of our grade in EDUC4....

So first thing first.. finish module first then continue the reflection paper....
