1. Problem I have problem in controlling my speed when talking and giving instruction to my pupils during teaching and learning session. My pupils look blurring and confuse when I give them instruction because I think my voice is loud enough and word choice is suitable for children. 2. Analysis The problem occurs because of the nervousness especially when my teaching is not tally with my lesson plan. I kind of forget of what I am actually planning for that particular day. 3. Suggestion I can practice my instruction in front of mirror before start the class. I think I can also record my lesson to make comparison on speed of talking in the class. Other than that, I will ask my friend to come and observe me in my lesson for feedback of my lesson.

Number of Journal : Seven Week of Practicum : Seven Date : 9 th March 2014 13 th March 2014 Title : Problem in creating reinforcement activity
1. Problem In this week, I am having problem in creating reinforcement activity for my students. The worksheet that I give to them does not challenge them at all. They said it is easy and they are able to complete the task in a short time. 2. Analysis From my experience in my major subject which is Mathematics, I used to divide the worksheet into two section but for this time I am trying not to do two section for my worksheet as an instrument to indicate my research participants but it is not work as I expected. 3. Suggestion In the future I need to be more creative in creating my worksheet. I should use the technique that I used in my Mathematics teaching. Dividing the section is the best way which can help me to indicate my research participants. Other than
that, I think I can create two worksheets which are related to the topic but with different type of task. 4. Duration This problem can be solved from time to time to make sure I able to let my student enjoy learning English and, I will consult my guidance teacher from time to time to make sure it can help me improve my skill in creating worksheet for my students. 5. Assessment of Success I will collaborate with my friends and my mentor in order to look share idea in creating my worksheet for my students.
