This week is week 11, last class for this pedagogy subject since everything have been taught by our lecturer, so next week will be the study week. Class lesson for  this week was only to watch one of my classmates, Joycedith to present her lesson plan because she was sick last week. Her presentation last for about 20 minutes, then class continue with discussion of past year paper. The questions seem hard but God willing, if there are enough preparation before exam, eveything will be fine. Next week will be week 12 and the following week will be the week of final examination. Pedagogy paper falls on the 5th of May and I am Bernardine from Sarawak Regional Centre, wishing those who sit for the examination to do well and all the best! :D :D :D

This week is the presentation of our lesson plan. I was the second to present according to the alphabetical order name. My subject was English for Form 4 students and I taught about the meaning of poems and how to recite it. The title of the poem is Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. First I introduced world known poets, those from 18th and 19th century. Then I showed a video of how to recite Sonnet 18 poem. It was fun as my classmates were sporting and join along in the activity session, which was a small competition of reciting the poem. All of us, including me learn the meaning of the Sonnet 18 phrases by phrases. This poem indeed is a beautiful and meaningful poem.

Class activity for this week was we were doing preparation for our mock teaching in the coming week. We need to do three forums, three lesson plan and mock teaching as assignment 2. The mock teaching is based on one of the lesson plan that we have prepared. We need to do lesson plan by applying one of the theories-school of thought. Therefore, a simple essay need to be done to explain why the theory has been chosen to be the basic of the lesson plan, which is also for the mock teaching. I have decided to choose behavioural theory to apply in my lesson plan and mock teaching for the coming week.
