In this week's lesson, I decided to teach my pupils the topic gerunds (Verb+ ing). This week my main activity is to make sure my pupils are able to read out loud a text with gerunds while identifying the gerunds used in the text and answer a worksheet given by the teacher within 10 minutes on how to change the verbs to gerunds.
Therefore, there are some activities that were done to make sure that the lesson is more fun and interactive. The first activity is to answer the worksheet given by the teacher. The worksheet is definitely a good worksheet since it covers all levels. Then, the second activity is asking my pupil to read a text from the student's book and underline the gerunds used.
While preparing the lesson plans for this week, I manage to detect the pupil's weakness which is to create a sentence. Therefore, this week I decided to make sure that the pupils start to create more sentences to help improve their ability to write sentences based on the correct topics.
Some of the sites that I visited to complete the lesson plans are;
1. https://www.ef.com/wwen/english-resources/english-grammar/gerund/
2. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/mechanics/gerunds_participles_and_infinitives/index.html

This week, I was busy revising some with the pupils some topics since they will be sitting for the exam. Therefore, I had spend some time revising some old topics from the student's book and workbook. \
This week, we also manage to cover some topics such as identifying vehicles on the street. Pupils are told to list down vehicles that they know and draw the vehicle. After drawing the vehicle, pupils are told to talk about the vehicle in front of the class. This activity manages to make the pupils more interactive with their peers especially when they are talking about their interests.
Strength - Time is sufficient enough to cover topics for this week. Have extra time to study previous topics from the student's book and workbook.
Weakness - A lot of pupils are absent since they are affected by the covid-19.
Opportunity - Pupils are more attentive when it comes to the lesson. Most pupils need a challenging question to strengthen their knowledge.
Threat - Pupils who have a minimal level of vocabulary find it hard to understand the topic and need the teacher's guidance most of the time.
Co-curricular activity
We pick up some tasks that are left behind which is training students for choir and training the pupils to dance for Hari Silang Budaya and we managed to complete some of the tasks given.
