The hari raya task....

The assignments of the four lesson plans are very tough for me, but by hook or by crook I will try my best to do them during this Hari Raya holidays. My topic is the invention for year 5. Now, I want to try to integrate all the technological skills that we have learnt all this while to design a good lesson plan for the whole week. The designing of lesson plan may require full attention and patient where I have to make sure that all the materials used and the process are parallel and have the connection between one another. In addition, I realize that a lot of consideration has to be made in creating the lesson plans; the level of proficiency, suitable teaching points, the four important skills and others. Now I really know that it is very hard to be a good teacher as we have to be a very good observant and know what is the best task for our pupils. Lastly, I will try my best to do the lesson plan.

This is my first time of using and exploring the use of Ms Publisher to the utmost...Before this I just used it for making the simple brochure only.

the four skills task and presentation

I've just finished sent the four skill task. i was assigned to do the reading skill. though it seemed so easy initially, but i still need to think on how to make it interactively by using technology. but still there are some unavoidable mistakes based on unforgiveable ignorance. so i hope i could make some improvement in the portfolio later. the presentation was short and details. I really agree that a coursebook is very important as a guideliness, however we as teacher should be very flexible in usnig the coursebook depends on the students ability level and language proficiency level too

P/S: All of you can check out this website to find out more about converting song into minus one. there lots of sofware that can be downloaded

e-book

we have just finished our e-book assignment, what a relief! now i'm looking forward to finish off the earth song by michael jackson. the e-book making assignment has taught me a lot of new things. now i know that all the skills that we have been learning nowadays are very handy and useful. we can use all technology skills to create a very interactive and creative lesson in the classroom. it is so fun and full of new information about what technology can do nowadays

Today, we were given the group task to be presented later 'working with a coursebook' and we manage to prepare the slide show of the points form by using the powerpoint. then, we were asked to form group of four, and my group members irwan, husna and huda. i hope we can do our best to do the task given. it is almost the same as the earth song task. but this time around we will focus on the four important skills (writing, reading, listening and speaking). after dividing the task, we will try to complete the task within the time given. here i can see that the cooperation and the need of trust each other is very important in order to accomplishing the task. i hope that my group and i will do the best.
