Teaching the Body Systems- Peer Teaching

For two weeks we all became teachers. In teams of 5, each team was assigned a body system (circulatory, repiratory, digestive, excretory or nervous) and had to teach a structured class about their body system, organs and function. It was a lot of work, but everyone learned and had fun teaching.

It was also a good lesson about what it is like to be a teacher. What is it like when the class is loud and you have to keep it quiet? How does it feel when people are talking when you´re talking? What is the best way to get your students´ attention? What activities engage your students? How do you evaluate what your students have learned? All good questions which hopefully were answered through our experience of being teacher for a day.
