Today was our first lesson with the children at Little Wings! Before mentioning anything else, I'll like to applaud all the members for your effort today, and I think despite facing a few unexpected situations, the lesson went on quite well. Here are some things which I think we did well today:
1. Teamwork, helping each other out both in teaching and facilitating.
2. Powerpoint presentation was well done. Effort goes to Rattanin for preparing the slides, Jon-Hann for his projector and Shi Jian for his notebook.
3. Demonstrations of the task, everone took initiative to help demonstrate and explain.
However, there were also a few areas in which we could have improved on:
1. Our presentation may have been to draggy. Should teach more through facilitation of their task.
2. Logistically unprepared. This however, was due to our unfamiliarity with the lesson venue itself. Groupings however, should be made from the next lesson onwards.
3. Unsuitable use of words: firstly, some of the words used were a little to advanced for their level. Secondly, please mind whatever you say as they would be observed by the children and even imitated by them.
4. Time. We are a little rushed for time as we spend too much time on the ice-breakers and introduction.
5. Carelessness. I, myself, am guilty for forgetting to bring the activity sheets along and I sincerely apologize. Hope that we can all be a little more careful next time.
Even though it was only the first lesson, I think we all learnt a lot from it, and I believe that with this new knowledge, we would be able to pull off greater lessons in the following weeks. Let's work towards that!
