this is abit late, but its really funny. teaching is hilariously funny.
So, i finally got to teach a whole lesson although, i wasnt really anticipating it whatsoever, would rather slack my way through this term but then again, no choice.
My teacher mentor for this class is perhaps, the prettiest and youngest female teacher in school, but she's really really thin, her legs like twigs. ANYWAY, haha. its funny how out of class she's so sweet and demure, but in class she's really fierce, even i also scared of her. i keep telling the front row students that their teacher very scary. haha.
So, she kindly gave me a lesson to teach for sec 1 physics on measurement of length, and think its probably the hardest thing i'll ever teach in my life. because, these little kids come from primary school, where in their puny little world would they have seen a vernier calipers or a micrometer screwgauge. NO WAY! and i gotta teach them to intepret the readings. i think i went through the whole process of looking at the vernier calipers at least 5 times, and in between i think i gave a really "AHHHHH" look to the kids.
Lol, but i enjoy messing with their minds like what the teachers were discussing this morning over breakfast, this funny woman was telling me that the most important thing in teaching is to mess with the students minds until they dunno what to expect from you. hahaha, i think i tried well for a beginner yesterday.
Scenario one: Asked some question about vernier calipers, then this boy read off his worksheet. then i was like eh dun cheat ah you, look at your worksheet, haha. then i think he was genuinely scared for a few moments. lol. funny stuff
Scenario two: I gave a enigmatic smile and said "class, today your teacher gonna give you a chinese new year present(: then, they were like yayyay. " there's a quiz next thursday!! woo!" then, they were like ahhhh, chinese new year still must study for quiz, whinewhinewhine. Then, their teacher, the really fierce teacher, was like " you all got a problem? go sort it out youself." or something like that. i was like woah.. there i was chilling with the kids, then their teacher so fierce. while she was scolding some kids for not handing in their homework i continued to say, " there's a part two to your CNY present(: more homework(: lol, fun stuff.
Salmon, signing out.
