week 4

Tiring yet feel blessed
Week 4
( September 2-5)

My accomplishment

This week was so tiring yet I feel blessed because I executed two lessons about How My Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife and Enrichment activities of the story. I helped my critic teacher in facilitating our students. It was an accomplishment for me to discipline well my students. It was also an accomplishment for me to search about biblical and educational quotes to be posted in the classroom.

My significant experience

I’m happy that I was able to execute my lesson without anxiety. I’m glad that my students participated well during my discussion they were able to give answers and help other students who cannot answer the question I asked.  

My insights

While doing my lesson plan about How My Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife I think of an activity that my students can really relate with by using local colors, relating their experiences on how they treat people who’s from provinces and city. I planned to use video clips on my lesson but if there is no current, my plan B is to let them arrange the events from the story. For the enrichment activity about How My Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife I use different activities for them to understand well the discussion

My problem

My critic teacher gave me the lesson How my brother leon brought home a wife my problem is how am I going to teach that long story. My students might not understand and they might not read it as a reading assignment. I did not check my materials before going in my second class that’s why they were not able to use whiteboard markers. I feel bad because of my stupidity some of my students were not able to participate well. Another problem is that I expected too much with my students in one of my class I thought they’ve read the reading assignment that I gave but only few read it. Using laptop for watching the video clips that I prepared served as a problem to me because some of my students can’t watch it well because of the light and the screen is not enough for them to see it.

Solution

Luckily, I ask the help of my critic teacher and she was very kind because she think of a strategy that my students will really read that story. She list questions and ask my students to answer it that’s why during my discussion they were able to participate though there are some students who did not read. It’s good that I prepared a video clips about the story that I am going to discuss for the students who did not read for them to understand what I’m talking about. Instead of using marker and white boards, as a solution I instructed my students to bring out one whole sheet of paper and their pen to use it in the activity. As a solution about the video clips, I instructed my students to listen attentively to the dialogues that the characters are talking about.  

Goals for nextweek

My goals:

-is to listen and participate actively for the Boy scout training of the Philippines

-to execute my lesson about analogy using new strategy

-I’ll make sure that my materials are complete before going to the classroom
