This week is the second last week! There are still some other tasks to settle at school. Despite the busyness of the week, I still manage to complete the lesson plan for this week. This week, I decided to complete unit 6. Therefore, there are some creative lesson that we did. Some lesson does not need any worksheet while some do.
For this week, I did some research on past exam questions and it turns out that there are so many HOTS questions that can be found in their work book. Then, the lesson that I teach must still relate with the activity I did in class.
There are some link that my mentor suggested for me to have a quick look at before preparing my lesson plan. These videos helped me to gather idea for me to do in the upcoming classes with my students. However, some of them are still unsuaitable for my pupils since they are at a certain proficiency level.

Looking back from the past weeks, I must say that there are so many improvements from my pupils. They are excited for every classes. The first day of the week, I decided to let them create a poster about "Road Safety" and in this lesson, pupils need to do this task individually based on their understanding alone.
The poster activity was meant to involve some pupils who could not read to be more particiipative in class. Pupils manage to complete the task within the time limit. As for the topic that involves in this activity is imperative nouns. Pupils use variety of imperative nouns in the poster.
Then, we did some worksheeet about prepositions in the next day. This worksheet is given again to pupils because they need regular checks on their understanding. Pupils are confused at first but then again after reminding them again about the topic, they can recall once again. This technique is to help pupils remember and refresh their memories.
The worksheet somehow was completed by 35/39 pupils in the class. These pupils somehow receive guidance from teacher and friends to complete the task. Pupils that complete without any help is only 23 pupils. However, it is also a good sign since it cover majority of the pupils in the class.
Then on the following day, I decided to ask my pupils to create sentences using the simple present tense. This is also an individual task which was given to the pupils to complete within the time limit. This task is given to pupils so that pupils are more open to HOTS questions. However 36/39 manages to complete the task with minimal guidance.
Lastlly, I proceeded to have a quiz on the overall topic that I teach on the last day of the week. Whenever I do the quiz, pupils are more attentive because they do feel a sense of competition with the other friends. These quiz are made verbally to test their listening and speaking skills. Some pupils know the answer but tend to be quiet since they are shy and scared. However this quiz has made these pupils more encourage to give their answers since they are prizes for winners.
Stregtht - Pupils are getting better at completing the task individually. Less dependent on friends.
Weakness - The time was not suffiecient since there were so many program involving the class.
Oppurtunity - They are now able to identify the use of prepositions, imperative forms and other big topic under this unit. They can manage to answer HOTS questions on work book.
Threat- There are some pupils who are not capable of doing individual task and tend to distrub others.
Extra co-curricullar activity
We manage to complete the Bahasa Inggeris project about independence day.
