Simulated Teaching (Part 1)
I always wonder why lectures always stress the importance of set induction. Then it’s my turn to become a teacher. During simulated teaching, I have the opportunity to conduct my own lesson. During this time, now I know why set induction is important in teaching. Set induction is like an eye opener for students to understand the content of the lesson. It is to open their schemata. In order to do this, as teachers, we must carefully plan how to create a good set induction. For this class, I had chosen to use questions to start my class. These questions are related to the play that I am going to teach for that day. It is important to get the whole class participation so that they will want to keep on learning. So, I had asked the whole class questions. And they had response. Here, I would like to say thank you to my classmates because they had been supportive during my simulated teaching session.

I agree with you when you say that the set induction is very important in teaching. Set induction seems to be an eye opener to the students because if the students find out that the opening of the lesson is quite boring, their focus on the lesson will run away. For me, if the teacher taught me something which is boring, I will not concentrate on that teacher anymore because I will do something else which is interesting for me. Same goes to the students if the got bored in class.So, I hope when we be the teachers in the future, we will focus more on the set induction because it gives the first impression to the students whether the lesson is interesting or not.
