PROCEDURES OF TEACHING
A teacher must be responsible enough and creative to make your lesson be interactive. Since I am a teacher, I don’t have any choice just to be responsible and creative so that I can get the attention of my students. Actually I have several materials that I have prepared before teaching, My Cooperating teacher told me to handle 3 sections and then she gave me the topics that I should teach to them.
Well, the first step that I should do, of course to make a lesson plan. Umi Nisa told me just to follow the steps of her lesson plan, but I think for me it is not effective if I just follow her lesson plan, and another reason is I cannot understand her lesson plan because it was written in Bahasa. And my UMSU coordinator, Ms. Yayuk told me also that it is not effective if I will just follow her lesson plan. So Ms. Yayuk told Umi Nisa that we should make our own lesson plan, and it is okey to her. Then I make my lesson plan in the format of 7 E’s, even though I am a physical science major it is not a hindrance to teach circulatory system and respiratory system. Because as a future teacher you need to be knowledgeable enough and be open for everything. So, in making my lesson plan, I make first the objectives of the lesson and used the competencies that was given to me by Umi Nisa. In my lesson plan, I used varied teaching strategies like motivation, group activity, and included the evaluation and assessment I should use.
​
Second step that I should do is to make my Visual aids and worksheet for my students. First, I search some of the worksheet on the internet then I downloaded the worksheet and edit it to make more interactive and useful for the learners to catch up the lesson. I also made powerpoint presentation, to be honest it so hard for me to make it. Because in making a powerpoint presentation, it should be bulleted form and catchy to eye for every learners to get their attention. You must use proper animation and transition in creating a powerpoint presentation. I also make some visual aids that I did not use any electronic devices, like flash cards and crosswords puzzle. To be honest again, I hesitate to do that kind of thing because I really have a bad penmanship. But then, as a teacher you must be resourceful and creative. So I just used ruler, pencil, and pentelpen to make my penmanship quite good.
​
Lastly the step that I should do before teaching, is to give my lesson plan to my cooperating teacher. So that she can check if there is a revision or correction to my lesson plan before I teach. But Umi Nisa cannot understand English well, so my buddy needs to translate my lesson plan first in Bahasa, so that Umi Nisa will check it.
​
After checking my lesson plan these are the things that I did during teaching:
-
Start the lesson with a prayer.
-
Giving energizer.
-
Reviewing the previous lesson.
-
Motivating students for a new lesson through a activity which is describing pictures.
-
Presentation of the new lesson, through crosswords puzzle,
-
Group students into 5 groups.
-
Giving activity sheet to each group and students do their activity.
-
Checking of group activity to start the discussion of the new lesson.
-
Asking students question about the topic we had discussed.
-
Giving evaluation to the students to test their understanding about the lesson.
-
Giving of assignment for tomorrow’s lesson.
​
Asking atudents some questions

Roaming around during theiCr ativity
TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZING ATIVITIES
​
During demonstration, I am given 1 hour and 45 minutes to finish the all of the parts that I included to my lesson plan. So these are the things that I did in managing the time and organizing activities:
-
Giving allotted time to all the activities that I included to my lesson plan.
-
Prepare all of the materials needed before teaching.
-
All group activity is given only for 10-15 minutes.
-
I should limit my discussion for 25 minutes.
-
Students copy the writings on the board after discussion.
-
Giving evaluation for the students to test their understanding for 15 minutes.

PROBLEM SOLVING
Since almost of my students cannot understand English well, what I did is to learn some of the basic Bahasa language like counting numbers from 1-10. Because when my students pass their test paper I always count 1-5 in Bahasa so that they can understand. Like I say “students pass your paper at the count f 5, satu, duwa, tiga, empat, lima” and there is a case that they cannot understand some of the parts of respiratory system. So to solve the problem, I learned some of the basic parts of Respiratory system in Bahasa. Like Respiratory system is Sistem Pernapasan Manusia, and some parts like lung is paru-paru, nose is hidung, and larynx is tekak.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
In managing classroom, these are the things that I did during teaching:
-
Maintaining the classroom physical environment, it should be clean and organize by assigning cleaners.
-
Monitoring their attendance everyday before starting the lesson.
-
Establishing discipline in every activity. Like to follow my rules inside the classroom.
