class.

Further, I had two teachers Mariam and


Shamsa, ms Shamsa was my mentoring
teacher and she was teaching math and
English while ms Mariam teach the
children Arabic, Islamic, science and
math in arabic. I actually learn lots of
things such as classroom management,
how to phrase the students and how to
treat with Stubborn students. In the
begging, they weren't has a curriculum
and in last two weeks in my practicum,
they bring the curriculum for them and
my MCT was very nervous from that new
curriculum.

During my teaching practice, I enjoy


teaching the student the six lessons,
because when I taught them they were
so happy and I prepared the lesson in an
enjoyable

way,

and

like

teaching.

However, there are some challenges that


I faced such as students behavior, being
nervose and afraid to give the students
wrong information.

I show my commitment to my job as a

Planning for Learning


Talk about the process of planning for lessons.
How did your MST go about this? How did you
plan to ensure you worked within the curriculum?

What did you learn about planning during the


practicum?
2

First I sit with the teacher, and we


discuss what they should learn or about
the curriculum, then the teacher gives
me the titles of the lessons and she give
me the opportunity to choose what I
want to teach.
Before I planned the lesson, I contact her
and ask her what the most important
that the children should learn in this
lesson first, my MST was helpful, and she
gives the steps that help me to provide
the lesson.
Making a lesson plan is the most
significant thing that you ever do before
giving a lesson, that helps me lots in
many aspects such as manage time,
making activities, be organized, and give
each of the student chance to being
involved in the lesson even if the
students was low level.

What challenges did you face when preparing


your lesson plans?

Explain how you planned for teaching speaking


and listening.

I think when I make a lesson plan I was


afraid that the students misuse the
activities or misunderstand me, further I
always afraid that there is no space in
the class and they are 26 students.

I planned a story that will let them listen,


and after the story, I will ask them
questions, and that will let the student
speak.

Implementing and Managing Learning


What strategies did you use to manage the
children?
Which were the most effective strategies you
observed your MST using in the classroom?

Describe a lesson you taught and the way in


which you implemented the lesson class work,
group work, and individual work. How successful
was this for you?

Explain the stages and how you taught listening


and speaking as an integrated process.
What

strategies

did

you

employ

to

To manage students behavior,


I try to use many strategies,
but the one that was effective
for the children is the reward
system I always try to put
their names or take their
names and that helps me to
control the classroom.
However, the teacher uses her
strategy which is remind them
about the rules, and they start
to be quiet and listen to her.
During my teaching practice, I
taught six lessons and one of
them was about number 4.
In this lesson I taught them
number 4, then I start to ask
questions about the number,
and they will answer me
individual by coming to the
board and solve the questions,
that was successful I think
because I let every child in the
classroom to involved. After
that, in the learning centers I
let them explore the number
in the group and some of them
individual, the lesson was
successful for the students
and me.

teach During my teaching practice, I


tell the student a story about
speaking /listening activities?
plants need, and they were
listening carefully I use puppet
to take their attention, After
What do you have to take into consideration
that I repeat the story again,
when teaching speaking/listening activities?
and while reading the story I
ask them questions, and that
will give them the opportunity
to speak.

Being with the teacher

whole day.
Doing my portfolio on

To give my MST, staff and


administration the impression
that I'm a real good teacher
and Represent the collage.
Further, to be a professional
teacher.

I think I improve in planning


skills and being organized and
punctual.

Reflection
What has been your most powerful learning
throughout the practicum?
What was the most helpful feedback you
received during the placement?

What challenges did you face when writing your


reflections?

I think the square shape


lesson it was very powerful
lesson.

My MST gives me a lot of


comments in each lesson that
I taught, but the most helpful
for me was how to manage
the classroom and how to deal
with the children. Further, she
reminds me to use the rules
and use the reward system for
them. Also when I teach them
numbers, she advised me to
bring real objects into the
classroom because it's easier
for children to count the actual
objects.
I had two challenges during
writing my reflection the first
one is an aspect that I did very
well at and when I did not do
well at, these both are so
difficult to me, and I think that
I want to record myself to
observe me and write.

Were you able to make links between what you


did at college and what you observed or
experienced during TP? Give an example.

I ask my MST to help me after


each lesson that I taught, such
as "what you feel about what I
taught?" and "what you think
that I should change or stop
doing it"?
I learn in ECE 2203 (Learning
through Visual Arts ) many of
art technique, and that helps
me in many lessons in the
school.

Maybe I face one challenge


with some students because
they were misbehaving and

for example, I learned how the
teacher let the student stand
up and let them make a line
and how let them to clean up.

What changes would you make to the
