After visiting Miss Lai’s class, I am really satisfied with it and getting excited to see the next class. The second class is taught by Miss. Chen and her teaching is about”Mythology” today. While stepping into the class, she has already set up the equipment, projecting an image of Greek God in the screen. Wow, personaly, I do thihk it’s a challenge for any teachers to teach “Mythology”….it needs heavy preparation and sincere ”intereste”!!! Using powerpoint to teach, Miss Chen starts by telling a story of “Echo and Narcissus.” In order to attaract students’ attention, she asks questions from the picture , and later explains the symbol of the image. From her story telling and collected photos, I know she must prepare a lot. If you love mythology, you will definitly like her teaching—She has the ability to teach Mythology in college, no kidding. And, she still remember to teach the students grammar from the passage. I am not sure if I can teach like her or not…It’s kind of shock for me after this class visiting. I know I have to make up a lot before teaching in the future.

Scholl Visit 1
Visiting Alice’s school is really a great experience that we can see the “real” battlefield and without hurt..ha. The first demo class taughat by Miss. Lai is much better than I expect. Three reasones: First, she manages time very well. Each activity she holds won’t be more than 10 minutes. So the students won’t be bored and keep following her lecture all the time. Secondly, her class management is also great. She does her best to encourage all the students joining the practice, and she rewards them by “chocolate!” Thirdly, she speaks English most of the time in teaching her junior class, and the effect is great as I observe the students’ response. I do believe her teaching culd be a demo for us to learn. Read the rest of this entry »
