“Making it possible”

I. Accomplishment

It was a big help for me teach every day because somehow I completed 8 lessons rather than completing only 3 lessons last week. Before, it was hard for me to deal with my students but little by little they were at least enjoying my lesson especially my activities. All of them were participating but still few more strategies to keep them more behave and be silence until the end of my lesson.

II. Momentous

Last Tuesday, September 16, 2014, I was thinking of a particular technique for me to integrate my topics which were relative pronouns to literary work. After minutes of thinking, I came up with a short inspirational story entitled “My mother with one eye”. In the application part, I planned to let them listen first to the story using music as a background of the story towards making it touching and emotional. Afternoon came, it was the time for me to execute the lesson that I planned. I was thinking that my application part will be rejected by my students but it’s not. Some of my students cried because of the story which depicts a mother with one eye who sacrifice and give her one eye to her son yet the son wanted her to just die because the son hated her for having one eye. After reading the story, they wanted me to repeat all over again. They were really touched by the story; I did not expect that some of them will have teary eyes. And also, somehow my cooperating teacher appreciated and commended my strategy. According to her it was such an excellent technique.

III. Insights

It was such a great honor that my cooperating teacher was giving me positive feedback and comments on the way I taught my students. She appreciated it so much. Moreover, she gave me pointers to remember in order to manage my class. One technique that she shared was: Do not be strict and getting angry all the time. Students are very sensitive now a day. In order to capture their hearts, try to focus your attention to them in such a way that you show them that you really care and love them sincerely. Somehow this was very helpful to me because it made it happen.

IV. Difficulties

I always think of a possible and faster solution to complete the 30 lessons as early as possible. I was counting all the days that were left. There were only 30 days left. If I will not going to teach every day I will not be able to complete the 30 lessons.

V. Solution

Maybe, the only thing that I can do to accomplish all the 30 lessons is to simply teach every day.

VI. My Goals for Next Week

I need to make things fast because October 24 is already approaching, so my goal for next week is to have the execution of my lesson every day. I know that if I will do my best then God will also do the rest. All I need is to take it as a blessing every day.
