My Excel Drawing Project

On 4th September2008, Dr Leong asked all of us to draw a picture using Microsoft Excel. The aim of this activity was to attract our students in order to learn how to use this program. Below was what I had created. The character was taken from a carton called "FUTURAMA". Wah ... couldn't believe i made Bender!!!

My Very Innocent Students

My 4th week

On my fourth week of my TP, dated 1^st September 2008, I was given another opportunity to practice teaching. It was Ckg Dalela’s period where I was being asked to read two ‘Big Books’ mentored by herself. Frankly, I was a little bit worried, not because of the fact that I need to interact with the pupils. But seriously I couldn’t remember how the stories go (hahaha!). The book called “The Kittens” and “Goldilocks & The 3 Bears”.

First of all, I gathered the pupils in front of the class by sitting on the floor. I showed them the first book, “The Kittens”, and asked them if they had already read the book. I inducted few minutes of brainstorming session where they could try to explain to me what they thought the story was before I read it to them.

"how many cats can you see in this picture?"

"What is the color this cat?"

"How do you spell green ribbon?"

"What does kitten mean in malay?"

My 3rd Week

My third day in school, on 25^th August 2008, I was totally wacky and exhausted. I was being informed by a teacher that I was going to take over Ckg Dalela’s period. I was not ready for any of that. In addition, I haven’t had any teaching experience. My first period was with Primary Two Green (satisfaction level). As I came in, I set up a simple icebreaking. I started introduced myself and tell them a brief description about me, continued by each one of them. As I tried to memorizing their names, it looked like they started to communicate with me, like telling me the one who cheated a lot in a class, troublemaker and etc. It lasted for about 10-15 minutes before I started the class.

With today’s experience, only then I understood the importance of preparing lesson plan before you came into the classroom. A teacher needs to have this to guide on what and how to teach a lesson. I could also help teachers to teach confidently and feel more secure, reduce uncertainty and anxiety. With lesson plan, various teaching methods/ strategies can be prepared to suit the needs of the pupils.
