Reflection on Micro Teaching

            My micro teaching group got a speaking skill, in our Micro teaching we tried to create student-centered learning, because we wanted our students be active and give them chance to think creatively. In our micro teaching we do some activities, firstly, ice breaking we asked them to draw “what’s in your mind?” then we asked some students to exchange the paper with friends next to them. After that we asked some students to explain or guest what is her friend’s picture mean. We choose this game because looks like we want to show them “hey we are going to learn something fun, our class will be interesting, don’t be afraid with this lesson, something like that”. We also think that this activity also related to our lesson that is descriptive text and also related to speaking skill. Then we explain the lesson to the class. Actually we wanted to have a group work for this but we have not enough time so we just explain the lesson however we still used PBL, to let students think first. Then we form a group that consists of four students to make a description of something and let other students to guest.            

            However event we try to do as good as we can, still there something miss and need to be improve. According to me, I think first is about time we haven’t much time to do our micro teaching, So in the explanation we directly explain the lesson, (i mean without group work ) to the class, but still we used PBL we ask them what is the definition of descriptive text to let them think first.

            My group has a chance to do our Micro Teaching in the last. So when other group got input from the other friends we also can learn from that. Like in Ulung’s group, they teach about Storytelling, I think it is really good way to teach a narrative text in different way. From this micro teaching they can teach a Narrative with interesting and funny way. They asked some students to act or do story telling it can make students move from the chair and doing something in the class. However, in my opinion it will be better if they let students to choose or make their own narrative story than they give the story to the students because it can make them to think and create unique story and apply what the teacher explain like structure, language feature, and etc by create the story teacher can see whether the students have understand or not about the lesson. I think it also will be better if each of group act or do the story telling in front of the class “ practice make perfect” so i believe if they act in front of the class they will easily to remember the lesson.  I learn much from this micro teaching about some unique, interesting and meaningful activities in the class room.
