Honestly,
I already give up on my first week of teaching. However, the school counselor was
my life saver. She does open up my eyes and make me realized that everything does
not comes as we wish for. Thank You Cikgu Ayu.. =D
I was
assigned to teach Form One and Form Two.
Allow me
to introduce my students.. =)
1A3: At first, I really had hard time
to tackle them. Their teacher told me that they are really passive. They won’t
respond to any question or movement..HAHA.. But their English was really good..
Sometimes I can feel that their English are better than mine... *face palms* But
as usual, first impression is not always the best. I managed to grab their
attention in the second class. They really love to work in group. They will
finish their homework in time, submit their work and put effort in every activity
that I conduct in the class. In the second week, all of us had been comfortable
with each other. And, unexpectedly, they had shown their true colour. They become
talkative and really active in class. For me, it was a good changes. =)
2A2: There are 43 students in this
class. The environment of this class is really suffocating. There is no space
for me to walk around the class. The student’s table is really close with each
other. You can find the last student is sitting really near with the wall. Because
of that, it’s hard for me to have a look on the student’s work. However, I love
this class. They are eager to learn something new in every lesson. Most of the
students are really active, cheerful and friendly as well. They really love to
laugh. Sometimes I don’t understand the real reason that makes they so happy..They
always make me wonder…HAHA.. ^_^
2B2: There is one group of boy that
is really naughty and noisy. They like to speak in mandarin with me. Sometimes I
just pretend that I understand what they are talking about. But sometimes I can’t
avoid myself from asking them what does it means. HUHU.. But those boys are nice;
they respect me and like to make fun of each other. They are so funny. =D All the
girls in this class are sweet.. They like to smile and respond to every
question that I ask.. One thing about them, they always ask me to write on the blackboard..NO!
My handwriting is terrible.. But they still love it.. So sweet of them.. <3
2B6: My worst class ever.. HAISHH..!
=.= The biggest problem that I faced in this class is that they really hate
group work.. They refuse to do any activity in class. I had tried to do one
activity in class, but FAIL..! First, I’m having difficulties to divide them
into group. “Teacher, I don’t want..! I don’t want..! I don’t want..” Second, they don’t want to cooperate with their
group members.. They waste their time doing their own work. Even though they
had been assigned to discuss in group, but none of them put effort in it. I feel
so disappointed with them. Beside that, they don’t want to learn at all. They always
said that there is no use in learning Moral in class. They can use their own
logic thinking to answer the exam question.
Since
Allah has gave me such a soft voice, so it is quite hard for me to control the
class. They always ask me to talk louder. Sometimes, my student’s voice is louder than
me..HUHU.. The solution for my problem is…, I’m using microphone in
class..HIHI.. xp
Best

Good try, Muni. Using microphone is one of the best solution for your problem.
ReplyDeletehehehehe....testing! testing! (inside our room)
Deletethere you go Muni.. that is how you do it.. in my school, one of the chinese teacher is using mic as well because she's soft spoken just like you my dear.. it is not odd but it shows what you got.. all the best my dear :)
ReplyDeletethank you athirah...all the best to you too...microphone is my life saver..hehehe...
Deletedid it work now? Do they want to get involved in group work? Perhaps the tasks weren't suitable or attractive enough for them? Have u tried asking why they hate group work?
ReplyDeletethey prefer to write and memorize note rather than work in a group..huhuhu..i will try to persuade them..or else the class will be so boring..teacher-centered..huurmm..
DeleteKnowing you for quite a long time, I always know that you're very concerned about your voice. Glad that you've found a very effective way to overcome your problem, Munie! There's nothing to be ashamed of by having a soft voice. Don't worry too much & always be confident, then everything will turn out right . Anyway, well done! :)
