Hurricane Camille教学反思集

学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆
大教育家孔子在二千多年前就已精确地阐释了的关系,我们从初中,甚至于小学就背会了这句治学名言,然而是否真的领悟了它的真谛呢?是否一直躬行不辍呢?
第一课的教学已经结束,大部分做过presentation的同学都在我的要求下写了教学反思,部分同学还用英语来写,既作了总结,又锻炼了英文写作,真是一举多得。大部分同学的反思写的比较深刻,我看后也很受触动。反观自己执教日久,略显懈怠,反思不如往常积极了,长此以往,教学最容易坠入一种刻板的套路,难有创新和提高。今年总算鼓足勇气迈出这教改第一步,我想如果现在不做,再过五年、十年恐怕连想的勇气都没有了。今天写这段话与大家共勉,希望我们每个人都能养成反思的习惯,这样才能使我们以后在任何一个工作岗位上都能永远锐意革新,不落俗套。

Summary

Teaching Mission: Cultural Background and General Knowledge of Lesson One
1.How to measure the wind speed?
2.How many scales of wind are defined?
Students: Juniors from Class5 & Class6
Cooperating Supervisor: Mr.Chen
Date: Tuesday-Friday, February 14-17,2012

I got an email from our Advanced English teacher Mr.Chen on Tuesday, it showing the assignment of our group for the simulated teaching on Friday. As the leader of the group, I arranged the way of deciding who were gonna do the presentation and what each group member should do.
On Wednesday, each group member was preparing his/her own presentation: gathering material, designing the procedure in class, practicing and etc.
On Thursday, our group met and we drew lots and I was one of the ‘lucky’.(the other one is Miss.Hong). So all the material collected by our group were gave out to me and Miss Hong. It’s time for us to do the real work.
It’s not my first time to perform a student teaching in English, but things didn’t get easier just because of that. I worked on my assignment for over 3 hours that day for a 15-minute-long teaching course.
The challenge finally came on Friday morning. Miss Hong finished her job first, followed by me. On the whole, there were something satisfying and something worth improving.

Critical Analysis

For all the experiences and teaching rules that Mr.Chen have shared with our class, I will critically analyze my own teaching experience in the following aspects:
1. Prepration:
My task is to explain the wind speed and wind scale. I searched and downloaded some related information from the internet and printed them. Before this I had looked through Lesson One and circled out all information that I might use to perfect my teaching. According to the feedback of Mr.Chen and my classmates, I believe I had basically accomplished my assignment based on my preparation.
2. Apperance&Courtesy:
Mr.Chen had pointed out, in particular, appearance and courtesy needed of a teacher during teaching and some girls had been criticized for their inappropriate behavior. My belief is to keep myself looking tidy, friendly and serious at the same time. However, the natural nervousness of being watched by a group of people betrayed me. My hands uncontrollably shook and my words blurred. I will grab more chances to perform teaching in front of people and overcome my timidity.
3. Blackboard-Writing:
Writing is not my strong point. So I didn’t expect a lot on this and just tried to make my blackboard-writing look clear and mananged. I definitely need more practice on chalk writing.
4. Teaching Methods:
As for the most important part, teaching methods, I turned to work on students’ interest. Relevant but boring material was ignored as well as those might be too interesting to keep students focused. I also adopted drawing pictures to illustrate my content better. I may conveyed a little too much extra-information on the wind scale. Since I was responsible for the cultural background part, some of the tips of explaining words or grammar which were taught by Mr.Chen were not necessarily executed. Definitely needed in the future, though.
5. Teacher-Students Interaction:
I had not interacted with students during my teaching period but I had witnessed some really awkward moments when other student-teachers were performing their tasks. Mr.Chen’s suggestions on this strongly caught my attention. He advised that timely affirmation should be given to students when they had answered a question even if they had not answered it perfectly, and what a teacher should do is to lead him/her to the correct answer by giving a direction and some clues. I believe this kind of information, taking its origin from experience, was exactly what we lacked of.
Conclusion

As far as I am concerned, this kind of teaching experience is always good for a future teacher. It makes me realize what it truly means to be an effective teacher. Ultimately, the goal of a teacher is to help students learn, and I think this experience has strengthened my arsenal of teaching skills. Most of all, it helps me see it clearer that whether being a teacher in the future is my destination or not.

李洁

In the text Face to Face with Hurricane Camille, there are some verbs describing the power of Hurricane Camille vividly. My teaching task is to find these verbs and give a short presentation. From my point of view, it’s difficult to find such verbs, but I have to say that it’s difficult to explain them.
I’m nervous, indeed. To overcome my nervous, I try to stand in front of people and make a speech. However, when I stand on the platform, I can’t help feeling nervous and uneasy. I couldn’t think actively or smile naturally. What’s worse, my speaking speed quickens the bad feeling. I often speak fast. Obviously, at this moment, the pace of speaking betrayed me. Maybe many people feel nervous when they stand in front of people. That’s common. I need to know that there’s nothing to be afraid of.
In all fairness, I didn’t make a full preparation before the class. Opportunities favor the prepared mind
