Trainee’s Teacher Reflection:

Overall, my objectives are achieved as 98% of the pupils able to listen to the song
and fill in the blanks 5 out of 8 correctly in worksheet A and able talk about Mercury based
on worksheet B with teacher guidance. Pupils were also enjoyed the song of Mercury.
However, teacher’s explanation must be more simplified. Besides, the teacher should
play the original song to pupils so that they will be more familiar with the song. In addition,
when I distributes the worksheet A, I should give pupils a few minutes to go through the
worksheet before play the song.
Lastly, I did not manage to closure stage as the time is dragged to let pupils to
familiar with the song.
