“No Lesson Plan”

1.   My Accomplishments

This week I didn't have lesson that’s why my classmates and I facilitated Grade 7 and 8 for their competition in tongue twister, spelling bee, essay writing and poetry writing. I also recorded quiz 2.2 of the students and Jonalyn and I continued making of IMs of our cooperating teacher. Last Wednesday, I took my psychological test. Moreover, Jonalyn and I photocopied 1700 copies letter for the SLU-LHS and we sorted with the given guidelines (per year and sections).

2.   My Experiences

A week without lesson plan because my cooperating teacher handled the students for their quiz 2.2 and practices for choral reading. “Facilitator of the week” Well, this week was worth it because my classmates and I facilitated competition every afternoon from Monday until Friday. Since we did not teach at least we did something that are helpful like facilitating, replication and sorting the letter for the parents, and recording of quiz 2.2 of the students.

Wiggle! Wiggle! Wiggle! I was so shock when we rode in a jeep last Tuesday, after our class. My heart bit so fast because the jeep wiggled that’s why until I went home my chest is so heavy and my buttocks blown-up on the iron of the chair.

3.   Insights

With that experience, I learned some important activities to explore more interesting activities like spelling bee, tongue twister, essay writing and poetry writing. If I will have my own school I will integrate those activities not only for the English month so that the learners will improve and experience varied activities that will enhance their skills.

For my shocking experience, I will take care in riding though I can’t avoid, but still be sure and be safe in riding to avoid accident.

4.   Problems

Sometimes it’s really hard to refuse the favor of our cooperating teacher because we thought that our evaluation form will be affected.

My cooperating teacher asked us to photocopy the letter outside the school so that they will pay lesser. Then we said yes because we were ashamed to refuse. Then, we went out to photocopy shop, we leave the letter to photocopy 1700 copies and we went back quickly to school. After an hour, we went down to get the photocopies with our cooperating teacher. Then, because it’s not yet done we went back to get the rest.

5.   Solutions

We know that we are not allowed to go outside the campus that’s why we asked permission to our coordinator for us to go out for photocopy in just few minutes. Next time we will refuse their favor if it’s against with our policy for our security.

6.   Goals for Next Week

I will teach on Monday and Tuesday because I will handle choral reading and logo making.  Then, I will maintain my good attendance because it is important in my requirement. I will also join to facilitate some activities for the English month that will be due next week.
