                                                       Weekly Journal No.6

                                                        “Raise up, seagull”

Accomplishments:

       I’m done with my rated demo-teaching with my supervising instructor, however I didn't do my best due to anxieties. I was also nervous and flattered when my supervising instructor was late for I thought that she will not observe me because of my negligence. I am thankful to her for accommodating me even I’m not responsible enough as her student.

       I attended the meeting last October 4, 2014 (Saturday) held in Gerard Decaestecker function hall and meet the call time. I also supported Mr. & Ms. STE and watch the pageant for Mr. and Ms. Intramural 2014 in Prince Bernhard Gym.

Insights:

     Teaching is learning lessons learned, experiences gained, bond formed, memories created. And so the journey continues. I am learning while I’m teaching. While preparing for my lessons my knowledge is enhance about basic parts and figures of speech. I just learn and understand more about it now that I’m the one who is teaching for I hardly understand grammar in my passed lessons.

Significant Experience:

       I had my pre-con with my supervising instructor a day before my demo-teaching in which it should be two days before the scheduled day of demonstration. Although, my supervising instructor accommodated me it’s embarrassing for I’m not doing my part and hope that it will not happen again. I am shy and thankful for the given chance and opportunity.

Problems:

      It seems like I’m a living dead, my life is direct less. I’m just doing my lesson for granted especially if I’m not prepared and knowledgeable about it. I always ask for someone to help me but no one responds because everyone is busy with their own lesson. This is the hardship of being out of school for many years, it seems that I’m starting again and adapting oneself is not easy.

Solution:

        “Learn to stand with your own” I must adjust and think of my own ways. Become more positive of my personal views in life_ refresh, review and regain. I can do this.

Goals for next week:

      I must do my lesson plan on time and master it so that I can deal easily with my students in any flow. I must also improve my crafts and search for more activities to stimulate learning. I should have more instructional materials to be used for my students to understand about my lesson.
