If I were the teacher
- ages 6–15
- 45 min
Students prepare and lead a 5-minute micro-lesson on a topic of their personal expertise for their peers.
Steps
- Conversation: what a teacher's profession entails, what aspects are rewarding, and what is demanding.
- In partner pairs, students select a topic they know thoroughly (e.g. an animal species, gaming trick, sport).
- They prepare a structured 5-minute micro-lesson featuring one practice quiz question at the end.
- Pairs teach their lessons while the rest of the class participates as learners.
- Debrief: what surprised students about the challenges of holding attention and managing a class.
Tip: Provide a structured lesson outline card: hook/introduction, interesting fact, practice exercise, check-in question.
