“Break a Leg”






WEEK NO. 8
September 29-October 03, 2014 
“Break a Leg”













   My Accomplishment 

            I consider preparing my instructional materials and lesson plan for my rated demonstration as my accomplishment for this week. At first, I find it difficult to prepare since my topic is an excerpt from the Bible written by Sirach. It was a challenged for me on what effective strategies as well as activities that I need to prepare which will be very effective to the level of my diverse type of learners. This week I was able to deliver my lesson last September 30, 2014 and I was observed by my supervising instructor. Also, I was able to execute 5 lessons observed by my critique teacher. This week for me is the most unforgettable moment since this week will prove whether I am really for the Teaching profession or not and I need to prove it with every lesson that I need to execute as well as during my rated demonstration with my supervising instructor.

My Significant Experience 

            My significant experience for this week was to be able to execute 5 rated demonstrations with my critique teacher as well as 1 lesson with my supervising instructor. At some point I find it very difficult to manage the classroom when it comes to their noise so before my rated demonstration I observed my critique teacher on how she manages the classroom. She also gave me some tips on how I will going to manage the classroom in order to minimize their noise. The last day of the month of September was full of fun since most of my students participate actively during my rated demonstration most especially during the discussion. This week, also was full of fun since we celebrated TEACHER’S DAY. We also had our presentation which we sang songs dedicated to all teachers in BCNHS. I also received flowers from my students which I did not expect them to do so, since it was my first time  I consider it as my significant experience.

 My Insights

            This week gave me a lot of realizations. My personality and character are the two important features that make me who I am and I get to know myself better the moment I deliver my rated demonstration with my supervising instructor. During the celebration of TEACHERS DAY, I realized that teaching is not measured by your sacrifices but it is indeed a privilege since, everyone was not given the chance to become a TEACHER.
Moreover, this week really was one of the toughest days of my life aside from preparing for my rated demonstration. Being down or depressed comes with everyone’s life at some point. When I come across this point of my life, it is one of my weakest situations.  However, because of the people around me and growing up in this environment mold me into a woman that I have become today. Despite of all the problems I am struggling right now I know that I still have everyone who provided me with the morals that I hold to be true until now and I am still thankful and blessed because of the people around me.

My Problem 

The problem that I encountered this week is classroom management. I have a hard time in managing the classroom because of their noise.

 My Solution

                 I solved my problem by means of asking my co-students teacher’s and critique teacher some strategies in managing the classroom. So, I also integrated it inside my class which I find it very effective.

Goals for next week  


I will immediately approach my critique teacher and ask for a lesson to teach. Since, I know that I do not have enough time given to be able to finish 30 lesson plans with execution until the 24th of October so I need to teach every day. I still need to teach 11 lessons to be rated by my critique teacher before their examination and semestral break.
