You know one of those days, where you feel like so excited and bang, you found an interesting lesson. And that is what I did in the 3rd observation ( feels so nice when its the 3rd observation) by my guidance teacher. The night before I was cracking my head to think what can I do to make the lesson interesting and interactive. At first I was thinking of playing a video to the students, but then later I thought, I have done video before, so lets make something different this time around. And just about the time, it came to me like the holy light you get from the heaven. Breaking news English. I thought this would be a different approach for the students. And so I started off by showing them the black bag that contains a few products that is related to personal hygiene. I asked the students to guess what these products are, and I managed to get them to guess the product by giving clues and prompt from their answers. Students know what they are about to learn. However, I did felt that I was not making enough connection from the set induction and the practise stage, which is the listening activity. My question was, did the students understand the link between the set induction and the activity in the practise stage. I hope so, and they do understand. However I believe the next time I plan my lesson, I want to emphasize more on the set induction and relate it in a much better way to the topic and the practise stage so that there is a flow. Practise stage went well, with the game XO. I divided the students into two teams of A and B. Students nowadays are just good listeners right? I thought the questions that I have prepared would be hard, but for some of them it is just a piece of cake. But at last the winner is the guys team. Moving on from the practise stage, I handed them worksheets for them to fill in the blank while listening. I played twice so that those who did not get at the first time able to write it the 2nd time. It went well, and I discussed the answers. Students seem to be comprehending the text really well. Its just about the time when I continue to production stage, whereby I divided the students into groups of 5 and 6. There were 5 groups altogether and two groups will do a poster on promoting healthy lifestyle. For example a poster on the benefits of using soap. As usual they were excited and I was excited to see their end product. Hope they can come up with some real good poster. I know I sound boring in this second reflection, what to do...I haven’t taken my lunch yet! So I am going now...
