4. Dwell on your teaching practice answering the question.

1) How were you assigned to school? What did you like about the school you were assigned to?

2) How did you prepare to your first lessons? How did you feel before each lesson? Did you anticipate or fear your first lesson?

3) How did your first lesson go? Did anything go wrong? Did you manage to do everything according to the plan?

4) What were the children like? Did they respond? Did you feel their support or feedback?

How did children work all the time?

5) What tasks were most successful? What methods and techniques were most effective?

6) How did your school supervisor support and instruct you? Was your school supervisor happy with your work? Were his pieces of advice useful and effective?

7) Did you feel tired after classes? What is most exhausting about lessons and school in general? What conclusions have you made?

8) How has your attitude towards teaching profession changed? If yes, what has influenced your attitude? Would you like to work at school? Why?
