SimLab

Microteaching Lesson Simulation

[Year 5 Metro School]

Rationale: Preparation to build relationships with future students

1. Purpose:

The purpose of SimLab is to allow student teachers, to feel comfortable in a classroom environment.
It will allow them to be prepared for what they will get in a real-life classroom setting. Although
SibLab, is a virtual classroom with virtual students, student teachers will have an idea of how real
students will communicate and respond. Student teachers will also try to build relationships,
evaluate responses and observe actions throughout the session.

2. Evidence: The language used to interact and engage with students in session will be simple,
professional and sophisticated. Students will know who has authority and know what is expected of
them. It was simple to interact and engage with the session.

3. Introduction:

I will introduce myself to the class and tell them to give me five interesting facts about themselves.
Such as: their favourite colour, food, car, how many siblings they have and etc.

Model the type of responses:

Students should be descriptive and use adjectives to describe their interesting facts about
themselves.

E.g: The five interesting facts about me are _________________.

4. Sequence:

Record: Write my name and activities clearly on the white board.

Give: the students time to think about their response.

• Give students 30 seconds to think about the 5 interesting facts about themselves

Ask:

• I will ask students to come up with 5 interesting facts about themselves

• What they know about internet safety
• Who uses the internet
• Who has social media
• Who knows the dangerous of the internet
• How gives out personal information to other people
• What would you do if a random person messaged you to meet up?
8. Reflect:
Write a comment about each student at the end of the session & discuss with your teacher.

How did your relationship building go?

• Went well, I was able to interact with students in the session

What were you aware of?

• Some students were getting off track and not paying enough attention

What do you think you may need to work on?

• my authority skills, instead of asking I should just tell students.

Did you ask the right type of questions or did you need to redirect the questions?

• Yes, I did ask the right type of questions, students were able to give correct responses to my
questions.

What about your tone of voice, were you too loud or too quiet? Did you listen? How will you
address this?

• The type of tone I used was loud and clear, I believe the students were able to understand
the instructions that were given.
