WEEK 6 (26.9.2022-30.9.2022)

This week, I decided to relate students' learning with creativity. After a few weeks of observation, I managed to realize that my pupils are more interactive when it comes to group work compared to individual work. Therefore, I've already planned to include teamwork in their lesson. 

This week, my main focus is to teach prepositions to my pupils. The topics are prepositions in question form, and prepositions in descriptive language, and also I even covered gerunds this week.  

During the process of doing the lesson plan, I had to google some of the lessons. I watched several youtube videos to prepare for the lesson. Some of the videos help me to understand the topic better. My intention in watching the videos was to make sure that I know how to explain my understanding to my pupils. 

For the lesson, I printed an animated cartoon poster to show the pupils how to use prepositions. The animated poster helps pupils to understand the meaning because it is illustrated in a fun way. Therefore, pupils are more exposed to the materials.

Preparing the materials is also accessible. This is because the materials can be found on the internet and in workbook. The materials prepared by the teacher are meant to help pupils understand the lesson even more. 

Strength - The teacher manages to make sure 36/39 pupils master the topic of prepositions. The materials help pupils to understand the various use of prepositions in sentences. Time is sufficient to cover the topic. 

Weakness - Some pupils get confused with the use of prepositions in their sentences because the types of questions are different.  The material given (in my lesson plan) does not cover three levels which are lower, intermediate, and high. 

Opportunity - Pupils are able to still understand simple questions therefore teacher can still improvise pupils' understanding. 

Threat- Two pupils in the class is still not able to read. These two pupils are the biggest threat to the teacher to reach 100% understanding in the class. 

Co-curricular activity  

For co-curricular activity, I did the preparation for a competition which is the MPAJ competition for Merdeka. Then, I also did an English project which is "Spider webs" with the English teachers.
