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“学”与“思”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
