“Good Job”

I. My Accomplishment

Doing my instructional materials is my accomplishment for this week. These were the pocket chart and the boards that I had made and exerted a lot of effort just to make them in a very creative and very useful way for my students to use it. I started doing these instructional materials by getting some colored papers and started cutting them into strips as a design on the sides of the boards. Next thing that I had done was I had pasted all these strips on the boards’ sides. Then, I let them dry for how many seconds. Finally, I covered them with a clear tape not to be easily destroyed; same is through with the pocket chart. I am very glad that I had finished doing them ahead of time.

II. My Significant Experience

I was assigned to conduct an opening prayer last August 22, 2014. Honestly, I am not use to prayers especially for big groups because I was just use to pray on my own. But still, I had tried to lead a touching prayer that can move and inspire my co-student teachers. So at the end of it, I did not expect that I made it. This was a significant experience for me because with the help of this prayer and with all those wishes that I had ask to God, I believe that it will all be granted. I can feel his spirit at that time when I was praying in front of them. God is there for us.

III. My Insights

Last August 19-20, 2014, we had our demo teaching. In each major, there was a particular person that was assigned to execute his/her lesson. At the end of the demo teaching, there were some comments and suggestions. From these comments and suggestions, I had learned that in processing my student’s answer, I must also get another idea from another students to further elaborate the idea or it is better to get 2-3 idea of students to further elaborate the idea or it is better to get 2-3 idea of students for them to answer a particular question and then combine them afterwards in order to get their main point.

IV. Problems

Sometimes we need to plan a particular thing ahead of time so that we will not be encountering some mistakes in such doing things just like my instructional materials, I already pasted a particular design for it not knowing that it will make it dull and unorganized. It’s a waste of time, money, and effort.

V. Solution

Even though my first instructional materials were not successfully done, I did not give up but think of a remedy to make it better. Minutes pass by, I had think of a possible solution that is to highlight and put some boarders to all the sides of my instructional materials, thus it will make it artistic not a dull one. So from a dull instructional material, it turned into artistic one.

VI. My Goals for Next Week

We are already to be deployed to our assigned public school, so my goal for next week is to make my very best to teach my students well. I must have the self-confidence talking in front of them, and to always get their attention especially when I am already discussing my lesson.
