The first Progress Test has come!

This week, class teaching for the first progress test was started and it was Wendy’s, Nidya’s and Nia’s turned. Actually, it should be six students that were teaching in front of the class but Ebo was not come, and the weather was getting worse. Actually, it did not matter because class could be as usual.

From Wendy’s and Nidya’s performance I could “catch” some important things.
Wendy’ had performed very well and his listening material was very interesting and it was not really difficult if it is given to the first grade of Senior High School students.

It will be good if we later becoming a teacher, we should give interesting materials—of course that is related to the material—in order to our students will not fell bored.

However, I also found some important things on the way he taught. He always tells directly to the students about the material. For example, he directly tells the students the meaning of recount text and the generic structure.
On the other hand, his set induction was very good.

I like his way to ask the students of their past experienced that was interesting in their life and relate it to the materials.
He is so confident. The way he taught was a little bit plain. However, it was better than his previous class teaching practice.

For Nidya, she also performed well.
Her set induction and set closure was nice. She gave the summary of the material in the end of the class. I think it is better that we give directly of the materials to our students.

Her way to ask the students to be cooperative was also nice. She could make the students followed her instructions.
She was mastering the materials, she could answer the students’ questions, and her explanation was very clear.

Maybe I can “cheat” Nidya’s way to teach by not giving directly of the materials, analyze the reading passage, and relate it to the materials, etc.

In the mean time, Nia’s performance was not really good. She looked very nervous and many of her students were have bad behaviour, so she felt difficult to handle them.

I have to pay attention too to this problem.
The one who should control the class is the teacher not the students. If students who are controlling the class, it means that, we are not a success teacher.
