Reflection.

Based on the micro teaching and the lesson plan that I have done, I managed to get a few good and
weaknesses . During the set induction, I could make it more interesting with showing picture cards of
interesting places in Malaysia such as beaches, waterfalls, mountains and historical places to arouse
pupils attentions. Then, I could ask them where did they went for their holidays, so by looking at the
pictures the pupils could be able to answer teachers questions easier. By giving the pictures they could
build their own imagination, imagining that they have been to the places before. Meanwhile, in the
presentation step, it is better if the teacher could make up a sentence pattern to make sure that the
pupils were able to follow the lesson. Here, the teacher could also make the sentence cards, so that the
pupils could be able to understand the uses and differences of the prepositions of direction taught. It is
also easier for the teacher to teach the sentence pattern and make the pupils repeat the sentences.
During the practice step, it is good for the teacher to ask the pupils to work in pairs because here the
teacher could monitor the pupils work easily. For the last step that is during the production, the teacher
had a very good intention to allow the pupils to role play the dialogue but the teacher should use the
same sentence pattern and allow the pupils to interact with each other using different characters that
they liked. Overall the lesson is an easy lesson to carry and simple to understand.
