"Happiness"

My Accomplishments

I have finished seven lessons for this week and I was so glad that I got a perfect score in my appreciation type of lesson plan. Moreover, we had our examination for practice teaching. Fortunately, I was able to get a 55 points which is a half of that 100 point exam.

My Significant Experience

Teaching literature, specifically the selection entitled The Joys of Human Life was a significant experience. It was because I was able to encourage my students to share their stand and their experiences related to the message of each line of the selection. I know that my stuudents trust me for they were able to share their personal experiences during the discussion. I was able to process each sharing that is why the ideas were well-thought  out and I was able to leave something to them.

My Insights

Sometimes it was not  that easy to address students sharings and questions especially if these are all about human conditions. But, as a teacher who is responsible of inculcating values to students, I should address these in a way that i am not basing things only from my own point of view.

Problems

During discussions, there were unexpected questions from students which are quite hard to address.

Solution

I thought of the things I will say first before verbalizing things in lass. In grammar, I tried to give them some short review to direct them to the concept. In literature, I asked for the other students of their stand or idea. Then, gave my own explanation and had them reflect.

My Goal for Next week

To maintain my good attendance and to finish my 5 more lessons to complete my required 30 lessons.
