Teaching Practice Part 2 (Week 10)

I had a lot of fun participating in the other group's teaching practices. Since our group was the first one to finish I had free time to enjoy the other's sessions. The sunshine group used a more fun style to explain their lessons. I have enjoyed the session so much I even participated in one of their games. I tried the scoring ball by throwing the ball inside the basket for two times in a row earning seven millions. The idea was to choose a line from one to eight which one is the closest one to the basket, but the far line from the basket the less chance to score and the more money you get. So I wanted to make sure that I earn something by not taking too much risk. So I chose line number four and I did score and earn four million. Then I chose line three to even be surer I earn more money and I did. The idea of the lesson was very good explained by such game. Also I like it when Mr. Maher represented his part of the lesson wearing our national Thobe. It was nice of him to show a little about our own culture.

Then in the second part of that day the Ocean team had a session to teach. Their subject was about reading and writing skill in learning English as a second language. They as group have done very well by choosing a very interesting and beneficial subject which was about the most ten dangerous animals in the world. It was like watching a movie while learning something new. I think it will be good idea to learn the subject while learning new information that is not related to the subject. In general they were more than English teachers. They made the session as if it was a natural science one.

In the next day of this week there were another two teaching practice sessions. In the morning the Falcon team started with its session. It was about budget. We have learned very useful information about how and when to budget. I also have participated by sharing some ideas about budgeting, and I even remember to make a joke about how someone can make a budget while from the first day the salary will be spent. Again the group members were well prepared and passed their lesson simply and easily.

In the next part of the day we participated in the session of group BLT. The special thing about this group was that they had three different subjects in one session. Mr. Aziz started the session with his topic which was related to his field of teaching. The topic was about spoiling food. He really was very prepared. He brought different kind of food to explain his lesson. He really has done well by simplifying it to us. Then Dr. Ibrahim and Mr. Abdul complete the session by representing their own lessons. For Dr. Ibrahim the lesson was a lot of fun which is one of his lovely characters. Mr. Abdul explained his lesson twice; Once when he simply gave the lecture and second when he showed us a clip from YouTube about his subject. So for me was a kind of repeating the lesson twice. One more thing to mention about Mr. Abdul is that he kind of treated us as if we were his students and participant, but in general his lesson was very good and beneficial. Finally I would like to say that all my collogues were really prepared and expert teachers.
