At last, the day is coming...Today is the due date for Asignment 2... Assessing and manipulating video for ESL classroom. Firstly, of course i felt very relieved because my partner, Hafizah, and I managed to do this assignment. What a wonderful moments for today.. :)
However, I can't rest yet..WHY? Because there are other asignments plus various tasks that need to be completed. Sometime, I felt that I'm the busiest student in the world...hahaha..just thinking... Hope i'm wrong..
Ihere is also briefing about asignment 3.. It sounds that there are lots of works and efforts need to be put in completing this new asignment.. Hope I could manage myself to do it..
Ermm... For this week, we have been exposed to new skill which is how to produce name cards, brochures, posters, cover book and newsletter by using Microsoft Office Publisher. What a great technology. It is really helpful in making our teaching materials too.
This week, the task is divided into 2 categories which are pairwork and groupwork. So, we need to complete all of them and there are some presentation next week..Be prepared everyone...

Be ReaLisTic!!!
For this week, our group got this topic, "Be Realistic" to be presented. This is one of the characteristics that a teacher should consider while implementing the teaching and learning. Wshould be as real as we are in order to make our teaching and learning process success. We should take into many considerations about pupils in order to make our learning objective(s) will be achieved. So, be realistic and i'm sure a teacher will succeed to achieve their aims in their teaching profession.
"Be realistic" means that we need to think as real as we can while teaching the children. A teacher needs to think about the situation of the pupils, their condition and also their emotions. We can't proceed our teaching if their emotion is not in good mood. Otherwise, it will make us, teacher, became more frustrated because our learning objective(s) could not be achieved.
There are 2 terms that play important role in order to be REALISTIC which are "STIR" and "SETTLE". 'Stir' can be the activities to make pupils mixed around and interact with others while 'settle' can be activities to make them settle down or calm down. So both activities should be balance in order to suit the pupils' mood and condition. As a teacher, we need to be more sensitive towards our pupils. We need to be flexible and creative in the teaching and learning process. Lesson plan is only a guideline to us but if a teacher see or realize that the pupils are not interested with what have been doing in the classroom, we need to change th activities. This is what we called being realistic by being flexible during the teaching and learning process. Change the activity and we also can make the activity simpler, use the same material in different way. Maybe they will interested as they are familiar with the teaching aids.
In conclusion, being REALISTIC is very useful for a teacher in order to make the Teaching & Learning process run smoothly. The reason is because young learners are very unpredictable. We need to understand their emotions firts, then we will teach them. So, to be a good teacher, we shoud be realistic, flexible and creative...

What are the four skills?.
Four skills that we need to teach pupils in primary school are listening, speaking, reading and writing.
This week we got new task which is to design a material to be teach all the 4 skills in the classroom. This is the group work but each person need to choose one skill and then develop the material based on the same topic that have been chosen within the group mmbers.
My group choose the topic 'CLOTHES' and I need to develop material to teach "SPEAKING" skill. It is quite tough to get the resources and teach speaking skill to primary pupils. But, I managed to do it. However, I dont know whether it is acceptable or not. my group members are Hafizah, Mukmin and Connie. They will do writing, listening and reading skills. After this, we will combine our work together.
In my opinion, this tasks is very important and useful as I heard that this task is really related to our new asignment later. Maybe this task is just an introduction to the new project that we need to do... Hope this task will help us to complete another asignment later..

New Task.. E-BOOK
What a busy world. That's a univercity life in reality!!! E-book... What is e-book? For me e-book is digital media book. We can use e-book in teaching and learning process just by using the technology. What a modern world nowadays...
For more info about ebook let's take a look at this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebook
This task is done as pair work. My partner is Hafizah. We discuss and brainstorm the ideas in order to create the contents of the e-book. Then, we decided to choose the topic 'Hobby' with the tittle "What do we like". This e-book is for year four pupils. Actually to do this e-book is not hard as I think but there are some technical problems that we have encountered. However, we managed to solve it and now we had done this task.
In my point of view, this e-book is suitable to be use as one of the teaching aids for teaching and learning process. In my opinion, it is really helpful as we can managed our time by using the e-book. Thus, our lesson probably can run smoothly.
Now I need to start with new asignment... What a busy world as a student!!!
