This Is It

My Accomplishments

            I executed 5 lessons successfully. Also, I was able to have my demo teaching rated by my supervising instructor about parallelism in writing. I was so glad my Trustworthiness class participated in the discussion and in the activity I had given them. Moreover, I was able to make a lesson plan and instructional materials for the assigned Teacher for a Day. I taught them how to deliver the lesson on Idiomatic Expressions and they were able to execute the lesson well. Therefore I can say that the lesson plan I made was suited for their level and that I was effective enough in coaching them.

My Significant Experience

            Last October 2 was World Teachers’ Day. I was greeted by my students and they had given me cards. Moreover, we were invited in the program. It was our first time to be considered in this kind of program. So, we prepared a dance and a song for teachers. It was our first time to perform as a group in Baguio City National High School so we practiced a lot before the program. We were all excited but nervous too. Fortunately, we were able to give a good performance. The teachers had given us positive feed backs. This day was also significant because we had time to have fun during the practice. We had picture taking together too.

My Insights

            We were not licensed teachers yet. But, we are glad to be treated as one. The respect and the courtesy of our students brighten our day. Sometimes, I am so stressed because of so many stuffs to do. But, when a student smiles at me and greets me, I feel alright as if my loads lighten. I really feel relieved.

Problems

            I had a problem in delivering my lesson on Parallelism because my students don’t even know the grammatical forms and the grammatical functions of words and phrases. They cannot recognize adjectives nor verbs and even the subject and the predicate of a sentence.

Solution

            During my discussion I had explained the grammatical forms and functions of words and phrases. Also, I incorporate these things in some of my lessons also in grammar and give them some review.

My Goal for Next week

            To maintain my good attendance and to deliver my lessons successfully.
