This week in sustainable development, we took part in microteaching. As a small group, we were to create a PowerPoint presentation on a chosen natural disaster and include within; definition and explanation of the disaster, mitigation strategies, facts and figures, preparation, recovery, response, teaching points, lesson ideas, E’s & O’s and a reference page.
My group presented on hurricanes, typhoons and tornados. The PowerPoint we created is linked below.
I really enjoyed this week as it allowed me to increase several necessary skills. These skills included;
1. Groupwork skills- the ability to work well with others and divide up tasks effectively.
2. Investigative skills- the ability to research relevant topics.
3. Reading and extraction skills- the ability to read through information and pick out the best parts.
4. Presentation skills- the ability to create an eye-catching presentation.
5. Speaking skills- the ability to project my voice to the whole section.
6. Listening skills- the ability to listen to the other groups present.
