by Emelvin Week 3: (August 26-29)


My Accomplishments:
My first week at Baguio City National High School (BCNHS) became great. I was able to experience teaching the class I as assigned. For my first teaching, my topic was on Idioms and on the second day of teaching, my topic as Bibliography. Atleast I had overcome my great nervousness before teaching, it was lessened somehow.

My Significant Experiences:
                August 26, 2014 (Tuesday) was the day we were immersed at BCNHS. At first, before we went there, I was so nervous that I can’t understand. But when we already arrived there and met our own Critic Teachers, I had a good feeling about my critic teacher; her name is Mrs. Zobel Epler. I knew that I will learn so many things from her since I noticed that she is a very kind and helpful person, also one of the best teachers in that school. She was also the one who told me that “teaching is great when you love teaching”.

My Insights:
                I never thought that my first practice teaching will be that great, but I hoped for it that much, so I really thank God for giving me the strength in surpassing my nervousness and facing my weaknesses.
Problems:
                I had butterflies in my stomach since August 24 knowing that our deployment was very near.
Solution:
                I handled my emotional problem of course by thinking positively, that whoever my critic teacher or students would be, anything will be great. I told myself to do great with a smile with me all the time.
My Goals for next week:
                My goals for next week are of course to continue being a blessing to my students by doing my best to be a good teacher to them. Another is to improve the comments given to me by my critic teacher which are: to louden my voice and make it more modulated, and practice the art of questioning.
