• Record yourself teaching Lesson 43, Exercise 5. 
• Practise pausing for think time before saying ‘get ready’ in each step. 
• Practise correcting student error at step 4, first bullet (students say ‘one’ instead of ‘two’).
• Play back your recording.
• For your error correction, can you identify model-test-retest?

How to record yourself:

• Open your device’s camera app and select video.
• Ensure the device’s front camera is in use (you should be able to see your face on the screen).
• Position your device in a safe place and at a  short distance from where you intend to stand.
• Make sure your reference material is close at hand (Teacher Presentation Book).
• Press/click/tap the record button and step back to your intended position (you should be able to see yourself on the screen).
• Practise delivering the teaching material.
• It’s okay to make mistakes. The point is to become better and more confident in delivering the content.
• Save the recording, then review it. What could you do better? 
• Repeat until firm.
