Reflecon of the Demo Teaching “In everything you do, do your best” Whenever I heard the word demonstraon, I always have this noon that it would be resome and a burden in my part. Most of the me, I listen to students’ complaints on how much money they had spent in a demonstraon for the instruconal materials, the detailed Lesson Plan that they will have to accomplish as well as the perfect ouit on such task. Because of that, I had my so called ‘grudge for the said demonstraon but that is due to the menoned factors and not on the emoonal stress that it would insll me. Unfortunately, as a teacher, I know that I will always experience that in school. And now is the ‘lucky me’, as part of our requirement in our subject, I felt that bigger obligaon was placed on me specially that we are assigned to teach Grade 9 students from the ITL, which is my very first me to conduct such in a real and authenc classroom seng with real students. At this moment however, I never felt any pressure at all for I believe in myself and an addional factor is I have a great partner who can catch me if ever I make a mess in the demonstraon. The preparaon of our task is not even burdensome for we easily made our Lesson Plan and made specialized task for both of us to accomplish faster. Before our demo, I can say that everything was already seled. We are already wearing our formal ares and reached the venue 30 minutes before assigned me of our demonstraon. Time cked so fast unl we realized that it’s already judgment day. We entered the room and I felt a very warm and welcoming atmosphere from our students as well as the adviser of that subject. Things went on smoothly with my partner taking charge the first phase of our demonstraon. I am enjoying watching the students recite and laugh and parcipate in the class. Finally my me came and I felt nothing but excited. Frankly saying I’m not feeling any fear or demovaon but rather I can fell an overpowering confidence encompassing me. At that me, I can say that I behaved extra authoritave to my students yet sll maintained a low affecve environment thus elicing students’ parcipaon. Finally our session ended so fast that I felt like doing that acvity over and over again. I realized that through the demonstraon I believed that we should always have a second plan in anything we are doing. This has something to do with the projector that we are using which has not funcon easily that I sll have to run real fast with my wedge! Take note my partner volunteered me to do it, which for me should be the other way around since he is a guy. Nevertheless, our demonstraon ended successfully. We received posive feedbacks from the teachers and I was extremely flaered when she said that among all the demonstrators in our class, it us who meet more that her expectaon. We are so proud to ourselves and happiness is really overflowing on us. Sadly I and my partner were not able to take our selfies! Nonetheless, looking forward for another acvity like that and hoping that next me it would be made individually. I guess tht would be more interesng and really challenging!
