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?
