due to 05/07

After teaching a practice lesson this week, sit down and reflect on the experience using the five aggregates as a guide:
Form: describe the classroom context in which you taught and your own physical presence as a teacher. What was the room like? How many students were present? How old were they? What did they look like? What were you wearing, and how did you feel standing in front of the class?
Sensations/feelings: What do you remember hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, or smelling during or after teaching? How did you feel about any of theses sensations? Did anything make you angry? Happy? Sad? Confused?
Conciousness: During the teaching practice, were you ever conscious of any of these sensations or feelings? Did you ever notice them in addition to experiencing them? If not, try to take note of them now. Instead of allowing yourself to be lost in a feeling or sensations, take a step back and reflect on how it feel. For example, if you became angry as a result of a student comment, step outside the anger and consider why the comment was infuriating. Be curious about the anger.
Perceptions: Try to connect feelings or sensations to forms. In other words, reflect on what was going on in the room when the student comment made you angry. Where were you standing/sitting? What was the student doing? What exactly did she/he say? Perception is an important component of consciousness.
Intentionality/actions: What did you say during the teaching? (Be specific as possible). How did you move about the room? Did you modify anything during your lesson, based on the situation? How did you respond/react to student questions, comments or actions? What did you do directly after the lesson ended?
