STUDENT TEACHING JOURNAL
Week no. 1
Period: June 21-23, 2011
I. Activities
Done
On the 1st day of our In-campus
internship, we introduced ourselves to our first year high school students who
gave us a warm welcome.
On the 2nd day,
we observed the class and after that, our critic teacher, Mrs. Desiree Donesa,
assigned a topic for us to discuss in the following day.
On the 3rd day,
we discussed the topic: Techniques in studying effectively in behalf of Ma’am
Donesa who is in a meeting that time. The first year students really paid
attention to our topic and they interacted with us. In the afternoon of the
same day, we went to the College Multi-Purpose Hall together with our students
to witness the grand rally of the candidates of the Supreme Student Government.
On the 4th day,
we observed the class and we were assigned to be the judges in a group activity
in connection with basics in taking down notes. And after the class, we bade
goodbye to our students, telling them that we will be assigned to the Second
year level the following week.
II. Insights
Gained
In this level, I noticed
that our students are in the stage of adjusting with each others’ behavior
since they came from different schools when they were in elementary level. I
also noticed that most of them love to have group activities.
I can say that the students were really paying
attention to what the teacher is saying. And they pay attention to what they
consider important.
When I got the chance to handle a class with them, I
noticed that they really take down notes and asking questions if there are some
unclear ideas for them.
Another thing I found out is that most of them really
love music and when we ask some to sing, they were very proud to show what they
got.
At the end of the week, I can say that these students
are easy to handle and go along with since they are fresh from elementary level
and they are very eager to learn so many things.

Week no. 2
Period: June 27-July 1, 2011
I. Activities
Done
On our 1st day with the second year level,
we introduced ourselves to them after the teaching demonstration of the last
member of the group 2. The 2nd year students also gave us a warm
welcome but not as warm as the 1st year. Then after that Ma’am
Donesa assigned us the topics for our demo.
On the 3rd day, Ms. Baterbonia and Ms.
Argayoso handled the class. On the 4th, Ms. Banguanga and Ms. Bravo
handled the class.
On the last day, I, together with Ms. Antiporda and
Ms. Amistoso handled the class and we discussed about idiomatic expressions. We
made use of what we have learned in Educational Technology subject. We had a
game before we started with our lesson and introduced them the 20 most common
idiomatic expressions.
The students actively participated in the discussion
and I can say that there are no dull moments inside the classroom (maybe
because we used the DLP as our instructional material).
II. Insights Gained
In this level, I can say
that this bunch of students is really brilliant when it comes to their answers
and when it comes to class participation. They are more matured than of the 1st
year.
From the beginning of the class until the end, none
of them was bored. And by the time the teacher is in front of them, they show
respect and they know when to keep silent and be jolly.
Since we gave them examples which cannot be found in
their textbooks, they jot down notes and paid a close attention to the
discussion and all of the answers in the game were answered by them correctly.
I noticed that there are
some of them who are really outrageous but you need patience (that’s what
teaching is all about).
I also learned that most of
them enjoy the PowerPoint presentation as an instructional material. These
students are easy to teach because they are bright and they read in advance.

Week no. 3
Period: July 4-9, 2011
I. Activities
Done
On our 1st day with the third year level,
we introduced ourselves to them after the teaching demonstration of the last
member of the group 2. The 3rd year students also gave us a warm welcome but
not as warm as the 1st year. Then after that Ma’am Donesa assigned
us the topics for our demo.
On the 2nd day, Ms. Antiporda and Mr.
Amazona handled the class. On the 3rd, Ms. Argayoso and Ms.
Baterbonia handled the class. And Ms. Bravo and Ms. Banguanga did their
demonstration.
On the last day, I and Ms. Amistoso handled the class
and we discussed about Direct and Indirect Speech. We made use of the
Traditional Materials as our visual aids. We had a game before we started with
our lesson and introduced them the rules and basics on how to transpose a
direct to indirect speech.
After the demonstration, it was announced to them
that they ranked 2nd in the National Achievement Test that was
conducted last year.
II. Insights Gained
In this level, I can say
that students are smart but sometimes they tend to keep quite even if they know
the answer.
I also noticed that they are more developed and
demure (they easily act in response with issues pertaining to love).
In this level, many of them are stern when it comes
to studying and I noticed that they always follow instructions. They might be diverse
from the previous class that we handled but they are also brilliant just the
way they are.
I also realized that as an educator you should always
see to it that the vigor from the beginning of the class should be sustained
until the last. And as a teacher, you should always give them activities that
will surely fascinate their minds and will let them think critically.

Week no. 4
Period: July 12-16, 2011
I. Activities
Done
On our 1st day with the third year level,
we introduced ourselves to them after the teaching demonstration of the last
member of the group 2. The 4th year students also gave us a warm
welcome.
On this week were able to
deliver our final demonstration for our In-Campus Training. On the 2nd
day, Ms. Antiporda and Mr. Amazona handled the class. On the 3rd,
Ms. Argayoso and Ms. Baterbonia handled the class. And Ms. Bravo and Ms.
Banguanga did their demonstration.
On the last day, I and Ms. Amistoso handled the class
and we discussed about the origin of the world and the story of creation
according to the Greek Mythology. We made use of the DLP and the Laptop as mediums
in discussion. After the discussion we let the class divide themselves into
three: Olympians, Titans and Demi Gods. They made us of the stuff toys inside
their classroom.
II. Insights Gained
Students at this stage are
smart. There might be students who are not that easy to deal with but at the
end of the day, it is always the way your lesson is delivered that matters.
I also observed that these students are really active
when it comes to class participation and they always enjoy role playing. I
realized that as an educator, you always have to see to it that your
communicative skills are enough and can satisfy the academic needs of your
students in terms of explaining to them some vague issues.
