“The Beginning”

I. My Accomplishment

          My cooperating teacher gave me a lot of activity paper for me to check, I finished checking them for more than two hours. Moreover, she let me do the project of her daughter which is making a bookmark. She said to me that she was not satisfied of the bookmark that was made by her daughter, so she asked a help from me to make it better, so she gave me money to buy some materials to be used in making the project. I accepted her favour and make the best thing that I can do for that bookmark even though I know that it is beyond my responsibilities as student teacher. I just take it as a blessing as what my supervising instructor does and tell. But the most important thing was I had accomplished doing all these things.

II. My Significant Experience

          At the time, when I had first meet my students, I feel indifferent towards them thinking that they will not like me as their student teacher. I know it’s very hard to capture their hearts, so when I introduce myself to them, I set my standards and rules for them to follow and said things that will move their heart like saying this statement “I know you will cooperate with me as I discuss a particular lesson with you and I am blessed to have you as my students”. This was significant to me because it was just a beginning for me to start to be with them, not just as an old sister for them but as a teacher.

III. My Insights

 I had checked the activity papers of the fourth year students and I found out many vocabulary words in their papers. These words were stet, brood, anima, soot and etc. One thing more that I had gained was a strategy that I can implement to my future students later on was a strategy on vocabulary words. I am very thankful that I had all encountered these things.

IV. Problems

 I really don’t know what strategies, activities, teaching methods can I execute to my first demo teaching. I need to plan an effective motivation and activities that will encourage my students to participate in the execution of my lesson. It’s hard to think something unique that will make their attention focus even at the end of the lesson.

V. Solution

In order for me to enrich my lesson planning, I asked some of my co-student teacher on what strategies can I use to make my lesson effective enough for my student. Also, I had searched techniques which are related to my topic which is “Skimming and Scanning” from the internet to collect ideas that will make my students happy and actively participating on the execution of my lesson next week. I hope I can do it!

VI. Goals for Next Week

Next week is already the first execution of my first lesson plan in City High so my goals for next week is to do the best that I can in order to impress my Cooperating Teacher because as what they say “ First impression will last”.
