eleventh week of practicum in MRSM Balik Pulau

Day 1 - It is the first day of school. The school is lacking of paper supply for photocopying any exercise paper. Thus, I have to figure out how to prepare "drilling" exercise for my students. I have finish all teaching topic according to the curriculum. Therefore, I am focusing on drilling them to prepare them for their final examination starting from today.

Day 2 - My colleagues and I ended up planning on exchanging our homeroom class. The teaching Day will be on Thursday (4th day of this week). It was like to give more exposure for us to teach different students in different classes and be out of our comfort. zone (the students that we know and that we have good rapport). Since, both of my class is Form 1 students, I exchange my Form 1 with Hamiza's Form 2 class. Aizat has two Form 2 class, so I ended up letting him teaching my Form 1 class. So, each of us will be teaching different Form class than the one that we have.

I do love my students, just like I am loving my own kids. They are my lovely kids. Their English learning and exposure is important to me. Even though, I will let Aizat "baby sit" them for one lesson, I did help Aizat by preparing the rough idea on what the lesson plan, teaching materials and exercise should be good for my students. This way, I am making it a little bit easier for Aizat to teach Form 1 students because it will be Aizat's first time teaching Form 1 students. He is not familiar with the curriculum. Furthermore, as an English teacher, I guess I do know my student's learning needs and wants as well as their IQ level, so it is better for both, Aizat and my students, if I help Aizat to prepare it.


Day 3 - Its school public holiday.

Day 4 - It was the exchanging class day. I am a little bit nervous on teaching Hamiza's Form 2 class. The form 2 have higher level of English's proficiency and I cant treat them just like my Form 1 students. It was easier for them to understand my instruction compared to my Form 1. By teaching them, they taught me on the needs of looking for different exercises for student with different level of English proficiency, different way to approach them and different way of giving feedback to them.

Day 5 - I realised that the previous English of my 1 Farabi have not taught them of poem "Sad I am" yet while I have plan to make revision about literature that I have taught with both classes. so, I did plan and taught my 1 Farabi the introduction to poem this morning. I will revise the poem again in the next lesson, next week. The experience on teaching other poem with them and other class, make it easy for me to apply the same skills with this poem.
