During this observation, I felt proud and happy, because I am doing real teacher
job. My college does her best in the lesson, she tries to make a good lesson, so I
get some good ideas. After the lesson, I sit with my friend I discuss with her
about what I like in her lesson, and I told her you lesson was excellent just I have
one point which is explain the key word ,because some students did not
understand so they will not understand the lesson, she say yes next time I will
focus in this point. She knows that I am doing this to make her a best teacher in
the future. Yes, she agrees, because she knows more about herself. I told her in
the being of lesson explain the key word and show them picture and let one
student explain it in Arabic. Yes, we feel that this experience valuable
experience because we learned for each other. This lesson gives me
ideas hoe teach my food web lesson.
