I conducted a workshop for special need students (the owners of inspiration) to promote the spirit of patriotism and produce a model that represent the UAE by using the paper dough.

For me, it was difficult to give them the instruction for the activity and to leave with alone with the materials because it was dangers. Later, I realize that I need more than one assistant to work with me to help them to do the activity and help them to use the materials and I have to maximize a sample of the activity and visualize the model of the activity to make them follow it (Ferry,2017).

Having experience teaching a small lesson for special needs students support me to know how to deal with them. This knowledge is essential for me as a teacher because it will help me to improve my awareness about teaching special need students and how to deal with them in real class. For example, I have to give them extra time to finish their work and motivate them by reward their work through send them on trip or prize them in the end of the class. As a next step, I need to register for various special need courses and be as a part of my career because in the future I may face special need students in my classes and I must know how to deal with them and how to treat them.

I conducted a workshop for police friends in Sharjah to improve the awareness of traditions in the UAE though producing samples of old materials by using paper dough.

At that time I felt that it would be difficult to deal with teenagers and especially boys because I have had a challenging experience while teaching boys during one of my teaching practices. For me, the important idea was how to manage them and ask them to share the materials. Later, I realized that they are well behaved because they got some roles from the principle of the school to follow my instructions. Also, I played a game with them and reward them in the end of the week to motivate them to produce more.

Having applied some motivation strategies such as rewarding and giving them extra time to produce more models support me to manage their behavior and let them engaged with me in the class. I have learnt that the teenagers need more attention than the children because they more sensitive and they can produce more ideas but they should be enthusiastic about the activity and it should be challenging for them (Caskey,2016). This understanding supported me to produce another workshop for them and produced more challenge activities and gave them more time to work and less time for me to talk and explain.

I monitor a foundation student to deliver a lesson that includes all the stages and activities in real lesson in short time.

For me it was a great opportunity to guide a student to deliver a lesson through five stages in twenty minutes. This was similar to the observation task for a peer when I had to observe and reflect on my colleagues lesson's to focus on the areas of strength and weakness on teaching and learning.

Having experience helping student to deliver a lesson gave me the opportunity to improve the awareness about the instruction of the activities in correct time. Also, it helped me to focus on her way of teaching and bear in mind some areas of teaching and learning such as asking questions, monitoring and helping students who are in risks, produce activities that match the learners' level and style and finish all the activities in time (Cotton,2015). As a future plan, I recommend to provide a note that includes all the information that I have collected from monitoring the foundation student to be as a plan for my future lessons to produce a perfect lesson and support the students to make effective acquisition.
