Caring Relationship (Journal Reflection)

 

On the 4^th of November 2020 marked my teaching at Temwanoku Primary School. I was delivering English at Year 2 E and I found it very interesting as students enjoyed the lesson that I delivered to them. Initially, I was preparing my lesson plan and teaching aids before I started to teach them. The topic is about caring for resources and the subtopic is a Repetitive Text. Therefore, when I arrived at the classroom and all of students have been waiting for me to teach them. They seemed to be very eager to my delivering as I can tell by looking at them and where they were all settled silently. I came to know the difference between the Year 1 and 2 as Year 2 was organized unlikely the Year 1 that they were all in a chaos at all times.  

Furthermore, I started the lesson by a warmer in playing the preposition game, since the learning outcome is about responding to simple questions using verbal communication and that is why I apply this game for students to use. This is where I ask all student to put a book on a table and etc. They understand and enjoyed the game much as I can see from their expression. After the game, I demonstrate and display their learning outcome and topic including their repetitive text and activities afterwards. When marking their activity, I called any volunteer to write the answer on the chart. Additionally, my delivering was over and I was very excited because the majority of my student achieved the learning outcome as I can tell it after marking their work, where most of them gained full mark. 

However, there were also weaknesses I have in my delivering as I forgot to present and demonstrate the flashcard to students. Also, the allocated 1-hour duration exceed during my delivering as I forgot to allocate time to each part of the lesson I teach and therefore the time I spend in my delivering is 1 and a half hours.

Finally, I had recommended some strategies in order to solve the weaknesses I have stated. I must be ready and organized well in my delivering so that I would not forget some items in learning. I would also manage well my time by allocating each minute to each part of the lesson so that I can finished on time. By doing these, I could overcome my weaknesses and also, I would be an effective teacher in the near future.
