Alexis P. Dalita Mrs. Emma G. Gacosta Alupay National High School October 11-12, 2017 My Local Teaching Demonstration Finally, the time has come! My preparations for this day will be tested and I felt nervous about it. I woke up early in the morning to finalize everything that I need in my local demonstration. I reviewed everything in my lesson plan and in my powerpoint presentation so that I can execute my teaching properly and to maximize my time. I went to Alupay National High School at 6:40am and I prepare the set-up of my demo. I went to Computer Room to borrow the things that I needed like widescreen, projectors, speakers and extension. After that, I went to some of the Mapeh teachers that will served as my critique for the demonstration. Then, Maam Melanie had arrived and I felt nervous again. I accommodated and assist her to the room that I will be using. After a while, Sir Louie, which is another critique had also arrived and I assist him too. On that time, my adrenalin was getting low and I was lost my composure because of the mixed emotions that I felt. I talked to Maam Rhea and Sir Jhonel to help our Cooperating teacher, Maam Emma in preparing the foods that will be served to the critiques. Before I started my demo, I went to Grade 8- Dove to inform the students that I will be using for my demonstration. I ask them to their full participation and cooperation to become behave during my demo and they promised me that they will be behave and participate as long as they can and I feel glad to them. They were all wishing me good luck and telling me that I should relax and I can do it. During that moment, I feel motivated and inspired because of the concerns of my students. Then after preparing everything, I started my demonstration. I began it with a prayer and the necessary preparatory routines inside the classroom. Then afterwards, I started reviewing their past lessons which is about communicable diseases and I called some students to answer. After the review, I jump to my motivational activity. I grouped them into three and assigned them to assemble the puzzles pieces and give their insights and perspective about the image that will be formed after the activity. Most of the students are raising their hands just to give their opinions about the pictures. They are all cooperative. I called some students and they give their answers. With that, I introduced my lesson which is about “Cigarette Smoking”. Then, I started my lesson proper about the topic. I cited some “Leading Innovations, Transforming Lives” Tel. No. (043) 321-0861
