This week is the week where I teach time under unit 6: Getting around. In this unit, pupils are expected to understand and be able to identify the use of prepositions. In this unit, I have managed to make pupils enhance their understanding by asking some pupils to demonstrate the prepositions by asking random pupils to write the answer on the whiteboard.
This is because based on an article, it is good to do this activity since pupils will be able to build up confidence and also stimulate them to use the word in the correct sentences.
However, since my class is still not able to determine the use of correct prepositions, it is my duty to make sure that the class manages to use the correct preposition in their sentences.
The highlight of the week is when my pupils create a birthday card party. In the card, I asked them to write a simple invitation to their friends by giving them details about the birthday party. Each pupil must use the prepositions that they learn in order for them to create a letter.
Therefore, I also showed them some samples from the internet. Such as the picture below:
By showing them the example, pupils manage to create the invitation letter. In creating this week's lesson plan, I had come to the conclusion that many of my pupils are still confused with the use of prepositions therefore I decided to focus on the use of prepositions for the whole week.
Some of the websites that I use as references for my lesson plan are:
One of my pupils creation of a birthday party letter such as below:
Pupils were doing the task given by me which is to write down answers on the whiteboard.
Strength - Pupils are more focused when they are told to complete the task individually in front of friends, therefore, I am able to detect the capability of each pupil.
Weakness - Some timid pupils find it hard to complete the task even though they know the correct answer to my questions. Secondly, my lesson plan is only based on prepositions this week. I believe some pupils are bored with it.
Opportunity - Pupils are able to complete the task individually without referring to other friends which shows how dependent pupils are. The lesson is a way to make sure pupils are more confident with their understanding.
Threat - Some timid pupils take time to settle in with the environment. Therefore, it is hard to persuade them to participate in classes.
Co-curricular activity:
Painting the walls for the MPAJ competition. We spend the whole week completing this task.
