“Give Way”

1.   My Accomplishments

This week is my second week of facilitating English month activities like impromptu speaking, extemporaneous speaking and scrabble. I did also the IMs of my cooperating teacher. Monday, I taught the introduction of logo making and for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I facilitated logo making during my classes. Then, Friday I made my lesson plan for the presentation of logos of the students. Finally, I did not have tardiness and absences so I can say that I did a good job.

2.  My Experiences

I had a very nice week, I entered my class with a smile even I’m nervous because I handled another section. I’m happy because they respected me and they participated well. Last Friday, I used darts (hitting the bull’s eye) for their game to relate on their plan on how to present their logos. After their game, I asked them if they have a plan in hitting the bull’s eye so I told them that in presenting their logos they have to set their goals or plans like what they did before hitting the bull’s eye. For that activity, I observe that they enjoyed and they presented well their logos in relation to library. Moreover, I’m contented with what I did because my cooperating teacher appreciated the way I facilitate the students but she has a comment “the other students were transferring seat and noisy.”

3.  My Insights

With my very nice week, I will continue that especially I will wear my smile to spread the good vibes in class, that even though I was nervous I did not show to my students. I really felt teaching is enjoyable because my students were participative and active. Also, I will continue motivating my students for them to participate well and learn something. I will show to them that they are talented by letting them do their activities in an interesting manner like allowing them to share their ideas and creating their own way to show and learn something in relation to the lessons.

4.  Problems

It’s been my sixteen weeks, I think I don’t have a serious problem but I was hurt with my classmate because of my schedule for the rated demo with my Supervising Instructor. In the past days, I was scheduled on Thursday (December 4) but we were move to Wednesday (December 10) because there is no available SI for Thursday that’s why they moved us to Wednesday. Last Friday, when I saw my schedule suddenly my name was on 8:40-9:40 and yet my final schedule was 1-2 PM. My classmate did that she put my name in 8:40 to 9:40 and she got 1-2 PM. How hurt! She even respected me or is she known if I have a class at 8:40-9:40? She did not even consult me about that; she doesn’t have a kind hearted. Sorry! I made a face that time because she did not even talk to me well.

5.  Solutions

I gave way to her even its too hurt so she needs to show me that she is interested because for me I’m concern because I did my best not to be late or absent with my sickness, I entered my classes just for me to graduate  without problem. I commit to God my schedule because I know He has a plan for me. God is good all the time. I will take that as a blessing.

6.  My Goals Next Week

I will teach three lessons to finish the 10 rated lesson plans. I will also help my cooperating teacher for her tasks, for her to finish because she will prepare for the questionnaires for their exams on the third week of December.
