Alhamdulillah, I'm done with my microteaching. Even though it was not how I want it to be, but still I am satisfied now that the burden is less. My task was asking the students to argue about a qoutation by a famous person. As I was too nervous I forgot to do some of the things that i'd already outlined in the lesson plan. I even exceeded the timing of the lesson. Marianne seemed to be okay with that maybe because I looked really nervous. One of the things why I chose to do the lesson is to encourage my students to think. I want my students to be thinkers. Maybe I'm not a really good teacher, but I really hope regular practises when I'm in the teaching profession will help.

At times, i felt that I don't posses that natural talent or traits of a real teacher, but I'm so optimistic that it can be atttained through lots of practice.

Although things did not work according to what it's planned, I believe it was becuase Allah wants to tell me that the efforts that I had put in was not enough. Redha.

These were the qoutations that I used in the instructions.
