WEEK NO. 14
November 10-14, 2014
“My Creative Faculties”
I
consider preparing my instructional material which is a PowerPoint presentation
as my accomplishment for this week. It
is also an opportunity for me to share my skills in making the PowerPoint
presentation useful for learning essay, poems, spelling, tongue twister, haiku
poem, and including the theme for the English month celebration. Also 5 rated
demonstration for the whole week as my accomplishment for this week.
Moreover, I was observed my
critique teacher in the laboratory high school. It was a challenged for me to
handle the 1 section of 2nd years since I handle 4th
years in the public school and I need to adjust because of their behaviors.
Unfortunately, I was quite shocked about the behaviors of students in the
private school though I am aware of it but the moment I entered their class
they were very quiet and the 2 student teachers was also speechless. It was
very challenging in my part to think on 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 including a certain strategy that would be very
helpful for me on how I will managed their classroom during my rated demonstration
but at last I already know what to do. But fortunately I noticed that most of
my students are active when I used different strategies to motivate them
participate during my discussion one of that material is presenting a video
clip entitled the voice of truth which contains how a person will develop his
or her potentials.
My Significant Experience 
My significant experience
for this week was to be able to observe to be observed by my critique teacher
for 5 lessons from Monday to Friday. At some point, this week gave me a lot of
realizations since this week were full of requirements that need to be done
including my rated demonstration with my supervising instructor.
My Insights 
This week gave me a lot of
realizations. Since I was able to teach the ENGLISH month’s theme for this year
I realized if I was also able to hone these skills since I observed that all of
them are talented. I realized that as a teacher I must be creative to sustain
great success as teachers must think deeper than to just think. As a teacher we
should be dreaming, visualizing, planning, believing, and then acting for
achieving targeted learning goals.
Finally, creative teacher’s idea does not stop easily, it delivers a
breakthrough of change which is explosive and self-accelerating which patience,
dedication, passion can help. Just like ALBERT EINSTEIN once said “to invent, you need a good imagination and a
pile of junk”.
My Problem
The problem that I encountered
this week is classroom management. I was quite difficult for me to manage their
noise since it was my first time to enter their class since we handle different
sections per day but I will think of the best strategy which will be very
effective to them.
My Solution 
I asked for some
strategies that my critique teacher used all the time and I will try to imitate
and integrate it in my class in a unique way. I also look for the best
strategies that I can use in their class.
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 10 lesson plans with
execution so I need to teach every other day. I still need to teach 5 lessons
to be rated by my critique teacher because they will not be having lessons for
next week until the end of November because of the celebration of the ENGLISH
month.
