Weekly Journal No. 12

“AGONIES”

Accomplishment:

      It may take for a long time, I am able to handle any situations in my life. Recently in my class some of my students bullied their classmate who fell asleep while having their writing activity. I was really worried at that time on how I will handle the situation without noticing of my cooperating teacher. I thank God for His guidance to keep calm and manage my students.
    
     “I see the light posts in every road I take”. I thank God for He’s always in us to guide in every circumstances in our life, especially for teachers who encounters many situations with different people. I was enlighten by this words when we attended our recollection with Brother Ed.

Significant Experience:  

     I am aware of my faults in my class. My instructions were not clear and I was not able to discuss the criteria in writing an essay to my students even though they did not ask questions, I know that not all of them knew and understand about it. But, the most unforgettable experience at that time is one of my student fall asleep while having their writing activity. I approach and woke him up, and his classmates laugh at him. I was flattered because his reaction was weird, I do not know if he’s feeling bad. I am afraid that he will get mad at me for he was pitied by his classmates when I noticed him.

Insights:

        Positive attracts positive. If we take everything in positive manner, there be a good feedback to us. Taking comments positively strengthens our attitudes that we can do our duties and responsibilities. Instead of being discourage to my evaluation and ratings I must exert more effort on it. I will look forward on the brighter side, no offense if I failed for that is my performance just accept it as long as I know I did my part.

Problems:                                                                                                  

      For this week, we were tasked to fix our probable schedule for rated demo teaching with our supervising instructors. We English majors were not sure of our schedules because our lessons for next week are more of performance based. It is English Month that’s why there were many activities for the students rather than content lessons. This coming week, grade 7 to fourth year will have choral reading and poster contest therefore students need to practice for their performance for the competition in school.

     I am also worried for my rated demo teaching. Hopefully, I can overcome my fear.

Solution:

        I’ll try to request to my cooperating teacher if she can give me an advance lesson or adjust the scheduled activities for this week. We will try also to fix our schedule and adjust to each other for us to be accommodated and finish all our demo teaching successfully on time. Hope that everybody would cooperate with each other to solve our problem.

        I would like to have a team teaching before our demo teaching with our supervising instructors so that we will know our weaknesses and strengths. With peer evaluation, we can impose what we need to improve, develop ourselves and become confident enough. There will be no worries if we mastered our lesson as we know our capabilities.

Goals for next week:

         I must do my best for my rated demo teaching so that I will have a higher evaluation. I need to prepare for my lesson and execute well. I have to be creative enough for my instructional materials, if possible it must be unique or my own idea. I hardly think of it but I’ll try to search about it. Hopefully, I will not be nervous when I’ll be teaching.
