The man, who was the competitor of the X Factor UK in 2015.
He is a transgender and he wore the see-through shirt, skirt, and high heel, he has a unique and very confident. He from Australia and he move to the London about 2 weeks to compete for the X-factor USA. He sang the song the show must go on with his feeling and emotion through the song that he sang and make the committee appreciate with his performance and can pass to the next round.In the second round, he sang with his emotions and confident again and he passes to the next round. In the next round, he can't pass because the people judge him that he is the transgender but them didn't see his talent.

This story, I think the people have the different way to present themselves and we cannot judge anyone even if they are the girl or the boy, the things that we have to see is their talent.

Rick Hoyt, who was the disability man, he cannot talk or walk. He lives with his father, Dick Hoyt, who was the oldest guy. Ricks asked his father to compete for the marathon and Dick said yes to compete for the marathon, and he asked his father again to compete for the Ironman, type of marathon that has to swim, bike and run, and Dick said yes again. When Dick swam, he brought his son to sleep on the sponge boat, when Dick bike, he took Rick in the front seat of the bicycle and when he runs, he wheeled a wheelchair with his son was sitting and he ran. Finally, they can do it, Dick took Rick to the finish line. Dick said ricks inspires and motivates him to do anything.

From  Rick and Dick Hoyt's story, I think love is the great thing, It's not just love of men and women, but it is the love of the father that can make anything to his son.

Week 11: Be sorry


                               
      ( picture from https://thenerdytheologian.com/2016/05/24/sorrow-regret-and-saying-im-sorry/)


           On Tuesday 18th September, I studied the Advanced Communicative English for Teacher class. The teacher assigned the students to did the activity "Storytelling"  is about sharing the experiences of the teaching observation at the school. My story about the one thing that I still feel sorry for the one of my student is I can not help the student A who was hit by student B and the student A is LDs student, he always sleeps in the classroom and sits next to me and talk to me in the English class. Every class that I have to observe the grade 6 students, I usually see student  A was hit by student B, who was the behavioral LDs and often browbeat the other students. The last day that I have to observe the grade 6 students, while the student A was sitting near me then student B came to hit the student A and I just said "don't do that"  "don't hit your friend", but he did not care what I have said. I felt sorry that I can't help him because I know the teacher cannot hit the students and I'm just an observer student. About the student B, even the real teacher cannot do anything with him. The teacher has often warned him about his behavior. I do not want to judge the student B because I do not know his background. From this story, I just want to know if I am the teacher in the future "What should I do with this problem."

Week 10 : Teaching Observation IV




I feel frightened that the last week of teaching observation in Muang Ubon school, but I have many things to handle. On this week, it's something special and something like the week before and I do not want to back to the university.

On Monday morning, I have no classes to observe and I went to practice the Crossword game with the students, who is the representative of the primary student to compete in the Student Arts And Crafts Competition. Then I went to the grade 9's room and there were 3 students in the classroom, other students prepare their competition, and I have turned the English song to them.

 I went to the school normally on Tuesday, even though I had to attend the Open Class Activity of English major at the Patumpittayacom school in the afternoon but my partner has to teach in the morning and I have to be the observer and shoot the teaching videos. After that, I went to pay the tuition at the university. Then, I went to the Patumpittayacom school. On the way to the school, It's heavy rain that made me and my friends got caught in a downpour at the unknown temple and we stay inside the temple until the rain lets up. When the rain stopped we left the temple, the rain comes down again and I got soaking wet while I was arriving at the school, me and my friend have lunch before going inside the school that made us late. The Open Class Activity was good, Worrawit was the teacher of this Open Class Activity, he is a clever teacher so he can teach the students well, but just has a little problem. After the Opening Class Activity, there was the reflection of the fourth-year students and some reflect made me feel bad. At 9 p.m., my mentor assistant called me and she said that I have to teach on tomorrow (on Wednesday) because they have the activity on Thursday morning, but I'm not prepared yet and I have to prepare it on that night.

On Wednesday, the day that I have to teach, I worried about everything and I told my mentor assistant that I can not do it, I do not want to teach, she told me that I can do it. I taught grade four- students about "clothes and the weather", I'm started with the warm-up activity, I said the lyrics of  Hello song and the students repeat after me and they sang and danced along the song. Next, I showed the flashcard about the weather and clothes, I read and spell the vocabularies first and they repeat after me, after that, I divided the students into two group by counting one to two, gave the flashcard to each group and let them match the flashcard. Then, I let the students conversation based on sample sentences. The production step, I let the students draw the picture of the weather and how to dress and present their picture in front of the classroom. The wrap-up step I asked them, what they have learned. When I finished teaching, it's like get something off my chest.

After the ceremony on Thursday morning, me and the colleagues went to say goodbye to the director, teachers, and students, I just have listened to the words of my friends, my tears were overflowing from my eyes. I cannot say anything and I cannot look at the students. I do not know how I feel and why I was a cry.

The last day of teaching observation in the school, the students gave me the flowers, key chains, pens, and the letters. I've cried again when I read the letters. The students came to hug me and they said: if you have free time, back to school to visit me.
All of the four weeks, I want to say thank you to my mentor, although I rarely talk to her, my mentor assistance, she always advices and helps me and the special one is my students, although they were naughty, I still like them because I knew that they were young.

Week 9 : Teaching Observation III

                         

         The 3rd week of teaching observation in Muang Ubon School. I think this week is different from the first and second week because I have to do my project, I feel it is too hard and take a long time for me.
          Me and my colleague have to finish our project this week. After I revised the project on the weekend, I proposed it to the Muang Ubon school's director and deputy director on Monday 3rd September and when they signed the project approval that means we can start our project. Because our project is renovating and making the new BBL ground at the Muang Ubon school, we have to paint over the old and draw the new ones. The obstacle to doing our project is rain, there was the heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday night, our team is very anxious about our project that we will be doing the BBL ground. We checked the forecast on the site, most of them said that the rain is heavy throughout the week. We worried about the rain, but we decided to do on Wednesday. On Wednesday morning, after the morning ceremony in the school, we have swept the water in the BBL ground due to the heavy rain on Tuesday night. When we were swept for a while, there were the students from grade 9 to help us that made us swept the water out from the ground faster. I feel so impressed that they came to help us. Then we waited for the BBL ground to dry and while we waiting for the ground to dry, we prepared the equipment, mixed the colors and keep the area, do not let people pass because of we afraid they will step on the color that is not dry. When the floor was dry so we started painting over the old ones that make the ground has more colorful and interesting. I feel very tired and I feel dizzy because it was very sunny, I was painting in the sun from morning to noon. When was the time to have lunch, me and my friends went to eat separately time and  watch the BBL ground that the color was not dry, then there were the students who will try to get into the ground and I try to forbid them with the good words but it did not work so I started warning them, I fell bad about using words that not good for the students. After lunch, we back to paint again. The sun in the afternoon was very hot, I feel burned even though I wore a hat and a long sleeve shirt. There were grade 9 students to help us, at the first time I did not trust them, I'm afraid they will not paint well, but when I saw their intentions I did not think so. I would like to thank them. When we finished painting on the ground I feel worried about the rain again, I pray that rain does not fall in the evening.
On the next day, me and my colleague draw and painted the new BBL ground, we do it together until it success.
After do the project, I have learned anythings from myself , my colleague and the students, I would like to thank everyone for helping until our job was finish and I would like to thank myself for being patient.

Week 8 :Teaching observation II


                                                 


The second week of teaching observation I have been given responsibilities to do.

On Monday, I had the opportunity to observe about the Art. I saw that the teacher waited for the students ready to learn then she taught the students. She asked the students what is the painting and the students answer the questions with their own answers, She did not tell the students that were right or wrong but she describes the meanings of the painting to the students and asked them again. In the afternoon, I did not have any classes to observe but I have to teach the students who were the representative of the school to competition to play the Crossword game, I told them how to play, how to count the point. Because I have a little experience about Crossword game so I studied this game.

I went to the school normally on Tuesday. The whole of the day, I play the Crossword game with the representative students. During rehearsal, I noticed the student secretly changed the letters then I asked her what is the Muang Ubon school, she answers me Muang Ubon school is the moral school. I thought she realized by herself and did not do it again.  I very tried.

On Wednesday, My mentor she went to the meeting about the competition on the next day, she assigned me to practice the Crossword game, listen to the student practice storytelling and singing then teach Pratom Sukka 4 and 5. I feel pressured, I did not know how I can teach the students and will the students listen to me because I have observed in the past classes I found that some students were Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, some students like to annoy other friends in class and talk loudly, did not listen to the teacher. When I taught, I felt like I am in the war, all students have spoken loudly I can not listen to anything then I told them to stop and told them that I had the activities for them if who is the winner I will give them a gift  then they stopped talking and they listened to me what I would do next. After teaching I very tired but I'm glad that they listen to me although some students did not study. In the afternoon, I observed the English class of Pratom Suksa 6, the teacher has many techniques, many activities to teach the students and the students paid attention to her when she asked the students can answer I have learned many things from this class.

On Thursday, The mentor teacher took the representative to competed at another school and she assigned me to teach Pratom Sukka 4 and 5. I thought if I taught the contents the will not listen to me so I used the ESL game plus to teach them. The students paid attention to play the game in the ESL game plus and I am very happy when they tried to find out the answer.

On Friday, I did not go to the school because the instructor of the teaching observation appointed the fourth-year students to hand in the tasks that she assigned after that the students reflected the problem that they found in the school and the instructor suggest how to solve the problem then the students told the project that the teaching observation-students have to do in the school to the rest and the instructor to suggest how to make the project to be better and she assigned new tasks to us, I do not know why she did not assign the tasks before we go to observe in the school.

All of the whole week I have learned many things and I'm very tired with our project. I and Fern who is my friend from English major do almost all of our project in the school. There are 11 fourth- years students at the school I do not want to said like this but only two of us work. We think that if there are only two of us, we must do. How can I do everything successfully?
