FINAL DEMO!!!

On my final demonstration day, I was assigned to teach Environmental Impacts of Globalization. I felt a mix of fear and excitement, knowing that five respected individuals would be observing me: the district supervisor, the principal, my cooperating teacher, my adviser in UNMUL, and my UNMUL supervisor. What made it even more special was being their first international intern, which filled the room with anticipation and excitement.I started the lesson with a greeting, a prayer, and an energizer to engage the class. I set clear rules, presented the day’s objectives, and used multimedia tools to make the lesson dynamic. To address the communication barrier, I included both English and Bahasa Indonesia translations in my PowerPoint presentation, which greatly enhanced the students' understanding. Despite language differences, my students were very active, eagerly participating in discussions, which made the session a success.I followed the advice of my adviser and cooperating teacher, ensuring the discussion flowed smoothly and was engaging. I used various teaching strategies and provided localized, practical examples about pollution, a topic that resonates globally and locally. This made the lesson more relatable and impactful, and I could see the students’ curiosity and understanding grow throughout. This day was not just about teaching—it was a milestone in my journey as an educator. Indonesia shaped me into a stronger and more passionate teacher, teaching me to adapt, connect, and thrive in a diverse environment. As I received kind words and constructive feedback from my observers, I felt a deep sense of pride and fulfillment. This final demonstration was the culmination of a transformative experience that I will carry with me as I continue to inspire and empower young minds.
