Micro Teaching 10/09/2009

OMG!!!! Today Angelica and I did our lesson plan. We were the first and only group to present today. Before our presentations, I wasn't nervous at all, Angelica was nervous because she felt we weren't completely prepared but I was definitely more laid back UNTIL the time actually came! =) The entire time I felt like i was sweating! I felt almost anxious. We lost control of the class a couple of times but Angelica did a great time catching the class's attention meanwhile I was the one freaking out inside. I seemed to be calm but deep down I wasn't. We seperated the class into groups which turned out NOT to be affective at all because some students weren't even facing us and it's such a big class that it seemed almost impossible to keep track of every student. Unfortunately, we forgot to include our podcasts in the story. When Dr. Luongo mentioned it at the beginning of class we were going to throw it in there but we decided not to because it wasn't in our original lesson plan. Overall, it turned out to be a great and fun lesson! I'm soooooo glad we got to work with our partners because I would have definitely freaked out with 25 students all by myself!
