Hey! Welcome to ACC. I take it from your previous post that you’re Canadian, so whilst I can’t help you with the lesson plan, I can give you advice for the lesson itself.
First of all, before you go in to teach, take a breath, and check you have all your notes/resources.
When you are teaching:
- Make eye contact with the room. Look around and don’t stare at your notes.
- Don’t rely on a powerpoint, it will seem messy.
- Ask your class questions. Keep them engaged, otherwise they will get bored.
- Try and add a bit of humor in but make it natural, I hate to use a cliché, but just be yourself.
Finally don’t panic, we all taught our first lesson once. Use it as a learning point for yourself and it will be great. Good luck!
p.s. Have a look in #international and #international:canada for making posts - you never know, you might find someone else from the RCAC. Also, feel free to add an introduction to People around the world - Introduce yourself!
