All hell broke loose when I first got to know that we need to do simulated teaching as part of this course. A lot of things puzzled in our mind especially the expectations of our new lecturer for tutorial session, Mr. Harold Poong. Mr. Harold Poong is the one who is going to evaluate us for simulated teaching. At first, I had some difficulties in finding appropriate activities for set induction, pre-reading and while-reading. This is because previously, we only did simulated teaching for short stories. As for the short stories, I didn’t even crack my head in preparing the activities.
Hence, as for this time, I planned to do my simulated teaching on the play ‘The Ring Doesn’t Fit’ by Tan Kee Aun. Basically, this play revolves upon the subject love and marriage. So, I prepared the exercises according to whatever prior knowledge that I had. I was informed by my tutor that I will be presenting my set induction on the second meeting. So, I had some chance in making some amendments to the power point slides and my presentation skills so that it can cater Mr. Harold Poong’s expectations. In my power point slides, I showed set of pictures of people in love and marriage. Moreover, I also prepared some nice quotes regarding love and marriage according to the pictures. Students have to identify what are the two issues that were brought forward in the power point slides and after glancing through the quotes, they have to define marriage and love in their own words.
Basically, these are the activities that I’ve prepared for my set induction. I think I present it well due to the response that I had from my colleagues. Most of my colleagues told me that my set induction was really interesting and it entices their interest. I was so happy and was really looking forward to do my best for my pre-reading and while-reading activities.
