Learnings in Demo Teaching

Making a good lesson plan is not easy. A teacher should not aim to produce a perfect lesson plan instead he/she should aim to make the pupils/students understand the lesson well.

I enjoyed my Demo because my classmates are cooperating but I think they are also overreacting about being a Grade 5 pupil. I really wanted to become a teacher someday. The Demo Teaching would remind me on how to be a better teacher someday.
