This is the first time we
came to the school and do observation. We are divided into 2 groups elementary
and secondary.
For elementary there are 8
people and also the same with secondary. Me and others my friends as a
secondary team we are went to the school MMSU-LHS (Mariano Marcos Laboratory
Senior High School) with mam Jeanette as our coordinators, before we meet our
TTI (Teacher Training Instructor) as our mentors. We waiting for some minutes
in the office at school we had several conversation with the teacher inside the
office about Indonesian language. They asked us about how do we said “I love
you” in Indonesia, then we answer “Aku Cinta Kamu”. And for the words “Nice too
meet you” in Indonesia we said “Senang Berjumpa Denganmu”. They are of course
friendly and welcoming us well.
After several times we
seated in the office some of us are called one by one based on our major to
meet our mentors. There are 4 people from English major me and my friends. But
we still divided into 2 groups more
Me and 2 of my friends
Ris and Diyah our mentors is Mam Bacisters while Yeyen his mentor is sir Aris.
Me, Ris and Diyah some of us have duty to teach in grade 7, 8, and 10.
It almost 10 a.m in then
we do observation. We came to the classes saw how the teachers are taught the
students and also how are the students responses, how they learned, also their activeness. We entered grade 7 first. I felt excited when I saw how the teaching-learning process there. I also felt amazed
and surprised because students there are very active and clever. They fluent
in spoke English, they also have advance knowledge about the material that
taught by the teacher. They are active in given responses to the teacher,
answering question, playing games and others. Its really awesome.
During the classes I pay
attention to the ways teacher taught them until the classes ended. But before
the students went out from the class we are presented by our TTI Mam Bacister
to introducing ourselves in front of class. We are excited of that. And after
all we are introduce our name one by one also some information about where our
came from such in what city, island and also from what universities.
We are done our
observation in grade 7. Now we move to the next classes grade 10. In this class
the students seems like little bit calmed, but it does not mean that they are
not active. If the teacher asked them about some question related to the
material then some of them will response it quickly, most of them have good
answer. They also liked to playing game in the class for their activity to increased their motivation and undrestanding of the materials. Overall after the class ended we introduce ourself in front of class. They also
allowed to asking several questions with three of us. Some of them asking about
religion, island, city, food and others related to Indonesian country.
After all we finished our
observation in grade 7 and 10, mam Bacister guided us went to our office, named
“Mahogany Office” there also first time I met the students teacher from CTE
they also doing their practice teaching in the same school with us. There are
five people of them, their named Jasmine, Nicole, Korina, Fery and Phoboe.
They are beautiful, humble, cheerful and friendly. Immediately after we
introducing ourself each other we became a close friends. Sharing and have some
discussion together. I felt happy and lucky because had them as my buddies and
mam Bacister as my TTI.
Mam Bacister continue
asked us about which grade that we want to taugh. And than we answered for my
friend Diyah she would taugh grade 7, Ris grade 10 and for me grade 8. Than we
seated in the chair, mam Bacister came to us and asked us more questions about
lesson plan and when we want to started teaching. Actually we felt confused
about how to make lesson plan because the format was quite different with
Indonesia. But we are grateful because the students teacher from CTE help us.
they given us sample of their lesson plan and explained us about that. They and
mam Bacister also told us if we still confused about that we could asked
question to them. mam Bacister told us also do we ready to taugh at february 1,
our answered was yes.
For the last observation
we entered grade 8. They are friendly and like other classes they also
welcoming us well. In grade 8 I saw some of them are very active given their
responses to the teacher. They also like to playing game for their first
activity as motivation for them before the class started. And just like two
others classes before the class ended three of us came in front of class
to introduce ourself. In this class we received many question from them about
Indonesia, we glad to answered it and share information to them. Before we went
out from this class, we took pictures together. We are excited and happy known
them as a awesome and clever students.
In the middle of our
observation in grade 8, mam Bacister gave us our subject topic as our material
to taugh in our first teaching later. And for my topic I will teach literature
subject to the students. The topic about story of “The Ramayana” and than mam
also gave us the course book.
We cameback again to our
Mahogany Office after the class finished. There we had discussion about
everything that we should prepared before our teaching began. The students
teacher from CTE are drawing the schedule learning of grade 7,8, and 10 in cartoon to
make it easier.
For the next activity
mam Bacister came to all of us and told asked that we will had our teaching
pair with student teacher from TTI. Than we make our name each other in piece
of paper, rolled it and than we took those paper, when I opened mine the name
appeared was Jasmine. She is one of cheerful and smart girl. I was happy for
that known that my partner is her and for our subject topic was Dangling
Modifier. We began to teach at 28
January in grade 8. Challenge accepted.
