Week # 15

November 10 - 14, 2014

Looking for Something Good to Do

My Accomplishment/s:

           This week I did not have any rated lesson because the school is celebrating the English month, and the subject has been affected. All the subject matter scheduled for this week was more of skill and performance based so our critic teacher opted to handle the class for the whole week but of course we were not left with nothing. Our critic teacher tasked us to check the Bio poem and essay of our students and recorded it further more after the checking we were asked to choose the best writer of the said activities to represent their class for the competition that was hold during their lunch break, wherein we were ask to facilitate and look over the students.

My Significant Experience/s

           This week it seems that most of us was experiencing the same scenario because of the line up of activities of the students. Its quite unusual this week because most of us were all in the attic, unlike with the past few weeks that you cannot even have a little chit chat with your table mate because we are so much busy doing and preparing for something. One afternoon while we are all so noisy having nonsense conversation, my co major proposed a game for us. It was originally planned to be the English group only wherein we prepared a tongue twister and spelling activity but then other majors volunteered to join so we had the activity per major and it turned out to be fun and fruitful because we had learn new vocabularies. We did not only had the spelling but other major also posed their question which the other major answered, and with these it was agreed upon that we should do that more often to serve as our informal review in preparation for the examinations.

My Insight/s:  

        Having a rated is not the only way to learn and be a productive student teacher sometimes it can also be in some other ways like having a group discussion about the subject matters that before having your rated demonstration. It could also be in a form of educational games and activities like the one that I stated above,with I realize that learning comes in many way its just up to us how to accept and deal it.

My Problem/s:

       The problem I had this week was that I was not able to teach any lesson, I just stayed in the attic doing what my critic teacher ask me to do, but of course a whole day was too long for checking. I was so useless and I felt so useless doing nothing. It also worries if I would be able to finish the ten lesson before the last day that we will be staying at the school.

My Solution/s:

       We always made sure that we ask our critic teacher for something else to do. We ask her what we could do while we wee not entering our class.During my free time I find time to talk to my co major and asked them their topic  and at least I ask questions and argue with them about their topic. In that way at least even though I am not teaching I am still learning and updated of what was happening. We also ask for lesson from our critic teacher, and at least she assured us we will be able to finish the ten rated demonstration.

My Goal/s for Next Week:

       For next week I wanted to have at least three rated demonstration, for me to stop worrying and thinking twice if I could still finish the ten rated demonstration. I'm also looking forward for our informal review that I may share and learn something relevant. I also set in my mind not to get late and absent for any reason.
