I prepared for my micro teach session and it was based on fonts and emotions. How do I feel about being observed? Sometimes my first initial thought is, oh no all eyes will be on me, try not be nervous.

Most of the time I try to start with an engaging icebreaker to relax the room. I‘m always trying to make sure as many people as possible have smiled and laughed within the icebreaker.

What are learners going to be doing, what is the influence I’m trying to bring across and what is my Influence as a teacher? The activity of fonts and emotions was to bring an understanding of how and why they are used and where they came from.

The idea of the activity is to be able to go though the process of identifying and choosing fonts that would influence a designated theme. For example if you were creating a piece of promotional material for children’s books or an event, the title of the characters that would demonstrate this, is something that looks fun and playful. Compared to if you were to choose something for a horror story. It would be good to emphasise that emotion and feeling.

They were happy to experience this website as a new tool/recourse. Some had not come across this site before. My area of concern was if there were not enough laptops available but as they were paired up, it all worked well.
