WEEK 8 (10.10.2022-14.10.2022) Friday, October 14, 2022

This week I cover the same unit which is unit 5: Eating right. I decided to cover the topic of uncountable and countable nouns. In this topic, I realized that my students lack vocabulary. Therefore could be the reason why they find it difficult to understand the topic. I had manage to overcome this issue in the topic area. The vocabulary that I exposed to my pupils is related to the topic. 

The first thing I do is by asking my pupils to list down everything they know that relates to kitchen utensils. By doing so, pupils will be able to recognize the meaning of each item. Therefore, they will also be able to identify countable and uncountable nouns. I did cover the topic for every skill in order to make sure the pupils understand the topic fully. 

I did some research on how to make the class fun. There are so many sites that I visited and some of them are listed such as below:

1. https://eslspeaking.org/countable-and-uncountable-nouns-activities/

2. https://busyteacher.org/22370-count-noncount-nouns-11-fun-games.html

The highlight of the week is to make a kite using countable and uncountable nouns. I invented a game called "Make your kite fly" which is to paste all the countable and uncountable nouns in order to create a kite. 100% of pupils took part in the lesson and make the kite.

There are also some videos from youtube that was played for the pupils in order to make sure the pupils understand the lesson even more. 

Strength- The strength of the lesson is that pupils enjoy the lesson because it involves their creativity. They make sure that the lesson was carried out perfectly. 

Weakness- Pupils tend to be more active compared to when they are told to do the individual activity. It can lead them to be more dependent on their other friends.

Opportunity- Pupils who have problems with reading are able to participate in the classroom activity because they are able to receive help from friends to complete the task.

Threat- Pupils have to spend some money to buy decorations in order to make sure the activity works perfectly. 

Co-curricular activity 

This week is the week for the MPAJ competition. I was involved in the performance which is to dance. The video taken was, unfortunately, not able to paste here. Therefore, I will paste a short clip from the after performance.
