I recently did a short lesson in which I had to be the teacher. During this lesson I had to present a three to five minute clip on which the students had to answer a previously produced sheet.

The first part, the planning, is what found the hardest because it was difficult to find a clip that was the correct length and was at the same time comprehensible and adequate. I watched many clips but in the end I decided to choose one about public transport which I understood completely.

The second part was making the sheet. At first I had to spend some time thinking what exercises to include. When I had decided what to do it was very easy as I already knew the content of the clip.

When it came to presenting the clip, I found it a little bit hard because there were not many students and so the discussion part didn’t last long.

With this experience I learned how to make a good worksheet and how to keep students´ attention.
