This week, I felt a little bit nervous since it was the starting of teaching, not a half lesson but a complete one, since I taught only part of the lesson in my previous TP. It was hard for me to now the students and communicate with them freely, since Im not so social. But after the first lesson that Ive taught, I felt a little bit social with the student at the end of the week, which was a huge development comparing to the last TP. Also, it was a nerve wrecking, since my MCT will visit and observe me, and the more I thought about it, the more I get nervous. But surprisingly, when I started teaching, I totally forgot that my MCT was sitting at the back of the class, and I taught the lesson without having any worries and I was shocked about it. Then after finishing the lesson, I sat with my MCT and she was telling me what Ive done well and the other way. And I was happy with the comments she gave me. Also, I had to observe math lessons, and discussed with the math teacher about the lesson that Ill be teaching for the next week, and she kindly gave me everything that I need for the lesson that Ill prepare.
