Week 5

Day 1(4th of November 2016)


Apply speaking activity in English class
It was the fifth and the last week in teaching practice, As usual, I met the
MST and students. On this particular day I used a powerful technique to
attract students attention, I gave students chances to talk and discuss with
her by preparing open-ended question cards. For example, some questions
were like "from your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of
the internet? It was fabulous because students were engaged and
participated. Also, this technique will motivate students to speak because
they will have a chance to express their opinions, justify their reasons, and it
is more fun for students than a textbook full of questions. Also, will widen
their language because they will revise words from their memory, select
words and create their sentences. As a result, they will understand language
function and will convey their message. Finally, it will increase
communication skills among students and teacher , particularly when they
will talk and discuss their topics with the teacher and students, increasing
communication skills is very important because it helps students to express
their selves and share their ideas "speaking should improve students'
communicative skills, because, only in that way, students can express
themselves and learn how to follow the social and cultural rules appropriate
in each communicative circumstance" (Hayriye). As a result, I will use this
activity in teaching practice and in the future
Day 2(5th of November 2016)
Visit Sharjah book fair with students.
In this particular day, I went with my lovely students to Sharjah book fair. I
was helping the teachers to get the students organized and kept my eye on
them. The place was fabulous; it has various books, spectacular storybooks,
and amazing magazine. On the other hand, Sharjah book fair was crowded,
and there were more that thousands of people there, we did not feel free to
look at the books. While we were moving, I encouraged students to read and
told the benefit of reading. I was happy to go there and it a great place each
school should take their students there because reading improves students
vocabulary, leads to developing language skills and improves the childrens
ability to write well. This is because children learn new words as they read,
but also because they unconsciously absorb information as they read about
things like how to structure sentences and how to use words and language
effectively. Students asked me to help them to choose a perfect book for
them to read, I select books for them tried to meet each student need. At
12:00 we returned bake to the school, I sat with students, discussed with
them about the trip, what they learned and reading them stories. Even
though it was a hard experience, I gained productive knowledge and skills
which will help me in the future.
Day 3(6h of November 2016)
During this week, I was helping my MST to prepare for the volcano
experiment; she told me to introduce the steps of the experiment for

students. Then I started to say them what they have to do by reminding


them of rules, show them the instruction clearly and give each group the
materials to discover by themselves. I was walking around to check their
works, all of the groups were working very hard except one group. When did I
ask them why you are not working? They replied: "we did not understand."
So, I repeated the instruction again by using simple language, model it for
them and then ask them to do it alone, I was monitoring them while doing
the experiment. As a result, I learned that each student learned differently
than their peers and us as teachers have to meet their needs, abilities and
learning styles. I applied that in my differentiation activities, l looked at their
abilities and their interest and tried to design activities that attract students
to learn. For example, some students need real objects to understand the
concept of division, and I provide that for them. Also, other students love
working with their peers. Therefore, I designed paired activities for them.
Furthermore, from the volcano experiment, I noticed that students
understand the lesson easily and better. Also, the one who never participates
with the teacher, he becomes more active and joins in. This is clear evidence
to emphasize Piagets theory who believed that students learn best when
they are doing the work by themselves instead of getting the explanation
from adults. As a result, I will do that because constructivism fosters critical
thinking and creates active and motivated learners.
Day 4(7h of November 2016)
Last day at the school
Unfortunately, it was the last day in my teaching practice this made me
sad .This teaching practice was memorable. I gained lots of information,
knowledge and great background about the differences between the
government and private school, fabulous techniques to teach students. I hug
the students and thank my MST for helping me and supporting me by
seeing I am very gratefully for being your students, and I am proud of my
teacher, thank you very much for the time we were together, and I learned
many useful things, I said a sad farewell and left.
