This week was suganthi's and my presentation. The preparation for this presentation began one month ago. We identified three articles for this topic. First and foremost we read the Chapter 13 in the textbook many times since it was not easy to understand. Anyhow, I did create the first draft of the powerpoint based on the Chapter. Then, I went further to read three articles and synthesize the relevant and important information which was our second powerpoint draft. This was still the beginning stage of getting what is important to be presented to our freinds related to the module we are going to create. We added and deleted many slides before we can our fairly completed draft . We showed and discuss with Dr. Tee the draft and his advise pick and choose what you want to present and what you think your freinds should learn from this topic . It was not easy to choose which is to be included and discarded . Finally, we came out with the final copy after nearly 12drafts of powerpoint.
We were kind of nervous on that day as we wanted to create an environment that our freinds were actively involved and should be able to understand what we were trying to present. As teachers, I guess all of us would want our students to be able to understand our lesson. One thing, I learnt from my Form 4 Biology teacher at the end of the lesson she will ask us to sum up what she had taught for the day. So in her class I use to remember we use to be alert and make sure we know what she was teaching because everyone of us has to stand up and say at least a line of what her lesson for the day was.I liked the approach she used and I do use with my students so they know what the objective of the day.
Anyway, it was a relief when the presentation was finally over and I would like thank all my freinds who participate actively and gave full co operation in all the activites we conducted. Thanks to Mosayeb who participated or rather made him to speak as we seldom hear him giving his views. Maybe being the 'rose' among the many 'thorns' in the class he is shy to say things.
I would also like to thank Dr. Tee for guiding us in this presentation.

Thanks for sharing. Some questions for you to ponder / respond to:
ReplyDelete1) What did you learn from the experience?
2) What would you do differently if you could do it over again?
3) Would you have applied similar instructional strategies if you were to do at a distance?
