Teacher for a day

I became teacher for a day thanks to my Teaching Strategies subject. Our final exam was to demo teach a lesson for one period. I thought it was going to be easy breezy, but I screwed up making the lesson plan and had to do it a couple of times to get it right. Stoopit lesson plan. The topic I discussed was about suicide, it’s definition, main causes, most common methods of committing suicide, etc. I think I did very well. I used the old blackboard and chalk method as opposed to my classmates’ use of visual aids in the form of lectures written on a carton and then posted on the board. I wanted to get noticed and be taken seriously, so I acted like a real college prof. I was strict, mean, and very very arrogant. Haha. Luckily I didn’t piss any of my classmates off. Else I’d prolly be so badly beaten up right now. I don’t know what grade my prof gave me though, but I’m pretty sure she gave me no less than 96. I really think I did exceptionally well. Never did I look at my copy of the lesson, not even once. I had it all in my head. Yeah, I’m the man!
