Reflection
I gain a lot experiences through teaching practicum, making unit plan, lesson plans
and presentation. I understand the important steps to plan before teaching. When
teacher is planning the lesson plan, he should think of all things such as opening,
closing activity, assesment, delivery part and soon. He should have picture of all
things in mind before teaching. I have learned from my teaching experiences that
while making lesson plan you should be able to think clearly before planning. I also
experienced that even you make lesson plan they will be something lack. You realize
it after teaching. So one of my strength is that I can look back to my teaching plan and
improve it. While I was inmy teaching practicum, I made ten lesson plan. Before
teachingI thought it was really wonderful lesson plans. But later I realized that there
are so many things that I should change. Therefore I have revised my lesson plans
students in different activities. While I was in practicum I realized that I can enage
them in learning through different activities. Even though i was showing video the
students were curious to see and learn. I gave them differentkinds of assesments. My
coperating teacher also liked the activities that I gave students in the classroom. I
observation and soon. Students never get bored while doing assessment in classroom.
Likwise, while improving my lesson plan I have put different kinds of new assesment
that enage students in learning. For instance the topic of my lesson is about science. I
have assesment such as kahoot games, jigsaw method of learning, acting, worksheet,
have particular opening and closing activities. I went nto the classroom and started to
teach. Now also while revising lesson plans I do not have particular opening and
closing activities. I have only in few lesson plans but also not fun and interesting for
students. Usually in opening activity, I have videos to show. Then I engage student in
classwork or to end with prayer. This is my weakness not to have hook that prepare
student to teach. Even though I have activity but that doesnot connected with the
subject that i teach after opening activity. Sometimes not having strong , engaging
activity in secondary level is fine. In primary level it is very important to make short
and fun opening and closing activity that enage student. I have overview as opening
Steps to improve in future: I should apply new techniques of fun opening and closing
activities. Maybe I can start with talking about God as a opening activity. I am thinking about
showing video or Bible verses that connect to the subject. It encourage student to learn better
and appreciate God more. Likewise in closing activity also can be video that help to review
the lesson. In other hand while making lesson plans, I should collaborate it with my friends.
If I show my lesson plan with my friends who have similar subject then I will know in which
part I should improve. Likewise detail information in plan lesson is required which i should
consider in future. In brief I should focus on improving in the areas of opening and closing
