Teaching Procedures

Here are some short clips from my final teaching demonstration. Enjoy watching!

Creating my lesson plan for my final teaching demonstration took several days, and I’m incredibly grateful for my mentors’ support along the way. Their guidance helped me refine my ideas and shaped the plan into something that will truly benefit my students. I couldn’t have done it without them!​
Here’s how I structured the lesson for my final demo:
-
Greetings and Classroom Management
I began the class with a warm greeting, such as a cheerful "Good morning!" to set a positive tone. I reminded the students of our classroom expectations—respect, attentiveness, and active participation to create a comfortable, focused environment. I encouraged questions and emphasized that their thoughts and opinions were important.
-
Motivational Exercise: Opinion or Fact Game
We started with a fun "Fact or Opinion" game where students selected a number to reveal a statement and decided if it was a fact or an opinion, explaining why. This quickly engaged them and sparked curiosity for the lesson ahead.
-
Concept Discussion I: Distinguishing Facts and Opinions
I showed a short video explaining the difference between facts and opinions, followed by a class discussion. I asked questions to check understanding and provided examples to ensure everyone grasped the concept.
After introducing the key concepts, I made sure to check that all students understood the lesson by asking questions and encouraging them to share their thoughts. Once I was confident that everyone was on the same page, I proceeded with engaging them in different activities to apply what they had learned.
-
Activity 1: Fact & Opinion Treasure Hunt:
In the "Fact & Opinion Treasure Hunt," I hid cards with statements around the room. Students found them, categorized them, and explained their reasoning. I provided feedback to clarify any misunderstandings and reinforced the key concepts.

Discussion II: Asking and Giving Opinions:
I introduced formal and informal expressions for asking, giving, agreeing, and disagreeing with opinions. I gave examples and encouraged students to share their own, helping them understand the practical use of these expressions in different settings.

Listening Activities:
Students listened to two recordings: one formal and one informal conversation, then filled in missing words. We discussed the language used in both contexts and how tone and word choice vary depending on the situation.
-
Writing and Speaking Activity: Script and Skit
In groups, students wrote scripts based on real-life scenarios and performed skits. I provided feedback on their language use and collaboration, giving them a chance to practice speaking and expressing opinions in a fun, interactive way.

Conclusion:
I wrapped up the lesson by summarizing the key points and encouraging students to reflect on what they found useful. I reminded them that the skills we practiced were valuable beyond the classroom and would help them in everyday conversations and group work.
