I took the second class on July 11, again for 3 hours from 9am to 12pm. The students arrive on time and I was feeling confident than day 1. The lesson plan and class went very well and I was able to complete all the activities on times, though some of them took longer and some took less time than what I thought.
The class teacher had given me a few suggestions and I learned the following things during this teaching session:
-After checking the homework and providing answers to the students, give students a minute to think and see if anyone has any questions. Students often don't speak up unless given a chance.
-Mistakes are good learning opportunities so rather than providing the correct answer right away, talk about that mistake. Give that student an opportunity to find the correct answer themselves. Also, if many students are having the same issue, discuss it as a whole class.
-How to pick students to answer? It is sometimes more efficient to pick a specific student rather than pointing at a group of students to answer because they keep wondering who should answer. Sometimes, let them check the answers with each other and then provide the answers, depending upon the time and difficulty of the exercise.
