  On Friday, 21 st of April 2023, the last day of my two-week block teaching, I moved again to the teacher next door since my associate teacher was not coming because he was sick. They also did the revision on their previous activities as she prepared her students before their final exam. But first before they start their lessons, they praise the Almighty Lord for blessing them the previous days, thanking him for granting them life and asked him for his guidance during the day. Then they chant the Lord song and some other songs. Since it was the revision day, there was nothing they did, they just only revise on the topic they already covered days ago to remind her students the previous topic so they could be alert before the upcoming exam. She wrote certain activities on the board for students to copy and complete it. There was nothing to talk about since it was a revision day, so we help her decorating her classroom. Later on, she told students that when they finished their a...

They praised the Lord for his guidance and protection the previous days and requesting for his blessing during the day. For such, they continuously did the prayer along with chanting Christ songs before they begin their lessons. However, of course with God everything possible, so always remember to acclaim him and he will strengthen and pour his blessing upon you. In fact, this student desired to be guided by their lecture.

He knew how to deal with their habit since he aware with them. However, I gained some techniques in teaching from him during session hours and a way to cooperate well with students. In fact, when delivering his lesson to students he did first a warmup which is a Drill and Summary. He applied a new strategy to check each student memory. How good and bad memory they had. Are they good in memorizing the story or not. He told students to wait outside the classroom while he was writing a summary of a story about five to six sentences on the bl...
