The reflection of micro teaching

I did micro teaching in last class. It was very difficult for me. I thought that teaching is very difficult.
The objective of my activity was that every student can join the class and get skills. I wanted to teach English pleasantly. And I wanted student who don't like English to like English.
When I was a junior high school student, I thought that the class that teacher teach English one-sidedly is very boring for students.
So, I thought that every student should speak English in the class. And, like this, if every student speak English, teacher can notice student who can't understand.

The micro teaching was very difficult. But, it was very good chance to practice teaching for me.
And, I understood that there are many students who have different character(student who don't like English, like English and so on) in class. In this environment, I think teaching English is very difficult. I want to study how to teach English hard.

Review of the communicative activities

Today, I am going to review two of the "typical Japanese junior high school"communicative activities presented in ETM 3. The activities I am going to revieware Information Gap and Using movement. You can view them here.
I want to improve these two communicative activities.
First, in Information Gap, I have a idea.
I think that junior high school students can't understand well when they study fictitious content. So, I want teach real things to students. Real things mean event that was happened on students just like ‘what were you doing at 7:00?’ For example, first,students make pairs. And, students ask their friends questions each other. And they answer the questions. Lastly, they write things that they can hear.

Next, I have a idea in using movement. I think that if I divide the class into two groups, some students may not be able to understand the content. What's more, the teacher may not notice this. So, I thought another way. First, teacher say ‘please open the window.’to a student. Students open the window. Next, the students say something just like ‘please close the window.’to another student. Like this, all students can move like chain reaction. If there are students who can't understand the content, teacher can notice it, and can teach again!

My favorite thing

My most favorite thing is going to live house and rock festival.
I like music very much.
It is no exaggeration to say no music, no life.
Music makes me happy!
And music makes me forget disgusting things. So, I always go to live house when I am tired.
In the Golden week, I went to live house and rock festival. It was very excited!
In the live house, I met a foreign people. He has long hair just like rock musician. I was very surprised when I hear his job.
According to the rumor, he is an English teacher as ALT. I think that he is very great! I want to be a person just like him.
When I have a job, I don't want to give up my favorite things! So, I will go to live house and rock festival from now on!
The favorite things makes human nature pregnant! It is music for me!
