For my micro-teaching for sound, I did my activity based on my country visit. While I was walking around in the park I could hear the wind blowing, the river flowing, a frog croaking and birds chirping as they fly around the trees and river.

So, for my micro-teaching, I prepare animal sound quiz for my group.

I recorded different animal and other sounds such as the sound of a river and the sound of a bird on my phone and print animal pictures and other pictures and give my group those pictures, so they can see what animals or things that they can hear while I play the sound on my phone. They have to guess and circle what sounds that they can hear.

BENEFITS OF THIS ACTIVITY
The benefits of this activity is that children will learn to pay attention to the sound that they hear everyday and learn about the things that they hear. 
It will make them to want to learn about the things that they hear so this is a new way of learning.

 

 

For movement, I used paper to make a dice and I wrote the stuff that different animals do such as,” waddle like a duck”, on the paper. I only used pen, papers for this activity. 

 

I was actually surprised that my learners were engaging a lot more than I expected. They were so looking forward to knowing what kind of activities that I was preparing to do with them. They participated really well at the games and learn what I was teaching them.

What moved me or furthered my thinking was the importance of having the time for children to play and do activities that will broaden their ways of learning. I saw the importance of letting children play games, games that will strengthen their learnings and encourage them to participate in activities that have been prepared for them. 

How I can use my experience with this place for my own professional practice or how I will create opportunities and possibilities for my students is that since I now know the benefits of a place-based learning, I will definitely take my students outside in a way that will benefits their learning.

Some of the benefits of a place-based learning-

-      Students can gain better appreciation and understanding of the world around them.

-      Increases their engagement with their communities

-      Students are being challenged to see the world through ecological, political, economic and social lenses

-      Students can meet deeper learning outcomes

-      It also gives students an opportunity a ‘voice and choice’ in determining what, how, when and where they learn

It allows tailoring learning to each student’s strengths, needs and interests


It made me realize how important it is for a teacher to have a sense of place and connect with that place since a sense of place is when we involved in the act of creation with place. As a teacher, the only way I can develop my understanding of place as a teacher or the pedagogical in place is to be in and with place, so it was a valuable time for me to spent in that place because It allows me to deeply experience the world around me in a meaningful way.
From having all these experience, i will be able to help my students with their learning since i have experiments how a place can help us learn better in a way that we had never known.
