Story of a Brown Girl

          I grew up in a friendly Malay neighborhood and it has been almost 20 over years since I have been living here. Hence, I have a lot of Malay friends whom I grew up, studied, and played with over the years of my childhood. P.s To be honest, I had one of the best ever childhood days; catching tadpoles, bicycle racing, running around playing hide and seek, catching - catching barefoot and the list just goes on and on...

          Coming back to story, since I have a lot of Malay friends, I learnt Bahasa Melayu from my childhood friends till I started speaking Bahasa at home with my family members. I cant recall when it all started but I got so comfortable speaking Bahasa. Till one day, my father (papa) called me and said that I should use English at home. I was shocked and I asked Papa why and he told me its because everyone seemed to be questioning him why do I speak Bahasa at home when I am not a Malay. I thought to myself that it was really silly of the society to say that to Papa. I tried to speak in English to my dad but it was really, really awkward and a total #epicfailure! I just couldn't no matter how hard I try. Then, I reverted back to speaking Malay and I thought it was all good till...

          One day, the society again started questioning me for having a lot of  Malay friends. Some people who just can't seem to see me happy, questioned why do I have a lot of Malay friends when I am an Indian girl. Like whatttt?? I just couldn't find an answer to another silly question! Instead I was puzzled, what's so wrong in having Malay friends? I do have non-Malay friends as well, but I am much closer to my Malay friends as most of them are people I grew up with and they are more like my family. Some even told my parents that I was going to convert into a Muslim girl, soon if I continue to be friends with my fellow Malay friends. These people were definitely out of their mind!

          That isn't all, my friendship with my fellow Malay friends again sparked conflict when one of my friend(the first in the gang to get married) got hitched and she chose me as her bridesmaid. I was dressed in a pink baju kurung and a peach shawl (in respect to the holy place where my friend's wedding took place). After I uploaded few pictures on Instagram, I got the backlash which I knew was coming! Some of the comments were "I am sure you're going to get married to a Muslim", Have you forgotten your roots?" That's just how insensitive people were! 

                         
                                

          On a side note, I still do dress up in my traditional punjabi suits and sarees quite often, and I do enjoy eating my banana leaf meal. P.s I cant live without rice and curry! Yet, people don't choose to see that side of me embracing my roots, every now and then.............







          Its saddening how shallow minded the society can get, its impossible to shut their mouth from throwing hate comments. I strongly believe one’s root shouldn't solely be judged what by one speaks, wears, eats or the race of people one chooses to mingle. I will carry my roots always with me, I will keep it close to my heart and I am not responsible in proving to you of my love for my roots.

Deep down, I know how much I love and respect my roots! :) Don't be overly obsessed with your own roots, that it made you forgot to be HUMAN first! Spread love to ALL, not just your own roots! 💗

9th and Final Reflection - Memories of my Pedagogy Journey! :)

12 weeks of Pedagogy has definitely been a challenging yet very meaningful one. I have discovered tons of lessons along the way :

Firstly, I discovered you will never love  or know what you are capable of doing until you actually put in effort to take the first step to try. Blogging wasn't my interest at the beginning and I got all worried when it became a part of my assignment. Trust me I did actually thought I would not be able to do a good job. Nevertheless, it didnt stop me from trying. My mum always say you will never love something until you actually take time to discover it. I took her advise and actually put in a lot of effort in each blog I did. I know I had my flaws here and there but it all paid off when I got good comments from my lecturer, Madam Ng :) It definitely means a lot to me and it sought of boosted up my confidence level to write better in each blog! :) P.s Thank you so much Madam Ng, I wouldn't be able to do a good job without your humanistic school of thought approach! :p Hehe Giving praises and rewards to students could actually boost confidence! :)



Secondly, I discovered that student centred approach in classroom could actually be a really good method of teaching and learning. Well, I did actually read in books and online journal on how good student centred approach could be but I never actually witnessed it. In Madam Ng's class, I witnessed it for the past 12 weeks. Madam Ng was a person of very less words. She gave her students to speak out more during class. From open discussions to padlets, and online forums. I love how Madam Ng doesn't direct us to only use specific method of learning and being autocratic like some lecturers. At first I wondered why Madam actually didn't speak much but eventually I discovered that we learn better in group discussions and when we go through each other's work in classroom for example the online forums, padlets and more. I learnt a lot of things for this past 12 weeks compared to any other subject I learnt in UNITAR ever since semester one. I am definitely going to adapt this method of teaching in classroom when I be an educator in the future.



Thirdly, I discovered the importance and value of friendship. Yes, I am a person who gets a little emotional when it comes to friendship. I get easily touched when I get good support and positive vibes. What touched me was during mock teaching, I witnessed how helpful, supportive and encouraging each and every one could be. Some of us even me was a little nervous during Mock Teaching but with the constant help and support from friends, I could overcome the fears. I am ever so thankful to this people for helping me along the way! Definitely one of the best bunch of friends I have ever had. I only knew some of them only during Pedagogy class, but I feel like I have known them for years by the way they treat me. So warm and caring!
This people have been a great support to me! Thank you Shevaanni, Retesh and Diyanah! Love you guys <3

Forthly, I learned classroom management & rules in classroom the key to a great teaching and learning environment. During he 7th or 8th week of class, when we had the discussion of classroom management and rules in the classroom, I was exposed to many different situations given by Dr Ng and as well as my classmates in the discussion on how to face certain situations. Though I had the experience of teaching 4 years old back in the year 2011 but I didn't know it would be totally different. I realized as students get older sometimes they tend to be even more rebellious. That discussions we had in classroom, gave me a lot of useful inputs of what I should prepare myself into when I enter the world of teaching. Honestly, when we were asked to find the different ways of classroom management and rules, I did a little research and found different methods and rules which caught my attention and I would definitely use it in the futures. This shows that this course has been a good platform for me to let myself sink in more into the world of teaching.


Fifth, learned that to be a teacher is not an easy responsibility. Yes, I was aware from the beginning to be a teacher is not an easy job, because parents and society have so much hopes on teachers to mould their children to be a morally and intellectually good. What I didn't know along the way was the preparation a teacher need to do before he/she gets into the class is crucial. From preparing the lesson plans, the methods, materials and rationale behind each notes, exercises and activities that will be conducted is important and needs to be up to date to the current syllabus. During this 12 weeks, I was given a good exposure by Madam Ng to get myself started with lesson plans and preparing notes and activities so that I would be emotionally prepared of what I would be facing in the future with the secondary students in school. Thank you so much Madam Ng for all the guidance in helping and encouraging me to get exposed to lesson plans though it was a little challenging but I managed to do it.
p.s A blog wouldn't be enough to share all that I have discovered throughout the 12 weeks! Too many meaningful lessons. :)

LOL :D

This is my final blog and I would like to thank Madam Ng for all the advises, support and patience in teaching me and guiding me for the past 12 weeks. Thank you so much for introducing me to so many new methods of teaching and learning. It was definitely a great pleasure to get you as my lecturer. I enjoyed your classes and I would definitely miss attending your classes and blogging as well. Words cant describe how thankful I am for all the knowledge you have shared and I see the rationale behind each and every task and method of teaching you have done with us. I learned a lot from your class and I definitely would use it when I get into the world of teaching. I really hope to make you proud someday Madam. Please do keep us all in your prayers and thoughts. Thank you so much again Madam for everything! <3 :)

Shoutout to all ESEB 2064 OCTOBER 2015 thank you so much for all the support, friendship and fun times you guys have given me. I definitely enjoyed being in the accompany of you all. It has definitely been a pleasure and I am really blessed to know all of you. Hope we would be able to work together again as a class though some of us are from different semesters. Thank you so much for the memories ESEB 2064 OCTOBER 2015 <3 <3 Love you guys tons! All the best for finals! Break a leg and see you guys soon! :)

8th Reflection : Mock Teaching :)


          Mock teaching has been going on 2 weeks now and this time around in my blog I would be talking about the mock teaching process and my preference. Honestly, I can say each and every one who presented in these two weeks had done their level best and they look like they are naturally born to be teachers. Though there are flaws here and there, but almost everyone managed to nail it! Kuddos guys! I believe this is a great stepping stone for each and every one of us to manage our fear to stand in front and to teach within 30 minutes. It takes a lot of effort, hard work and bravery to do it. Honestly when my friends were in front teaching, I could actually imagine what each teachers in secondary schools are actually going through to prepare lesson plans, to teach students with so many levels of understanding and also behaviour, prepare exercises, mark them and more. Wow being a teacher is definitely something to be proud off! I am definitely a proud educator to be. J On the first day of mock teaching, the bar has been set up really high by most of my friends. Good is such an understatement to describe some of them. 

          Especially Ashkamir, he taught Economics in class and honestly I don’t really like Economics. I dropped it back when I was in form 6 because I didn’t really like the way Economics was taught and I had no background in Economics back in form 4 and 5 because I was in Science stream. So yeah I did struggle a bit causing me to take History instead. When I heard Askhamir was going to teach Economics, I really thought I won’t be focusing in class at all. But yeah,  I was wrong, he caught my attention to get me to study Economics. What I liked was the method he used in his teaching where he created a Poem out of the few elements of Economics he taught. That was a brilliant and creative idea and I never taught it could be done. His body language and voice intonation was really good and it made most of us (especially those who hate economics) to love it at least for a day when he taught us. Haha :p His enthusiasm really got into us. He used the teacher centred approach where he kept reminding us to not be “ego” where we should listen to him first before anything. I find it interesting and I respect him for the method he use. Where though, it is teacher centred but he still managed to get all of us to like what he taught. Honestly, if I had such a teacher back in form 6, I wouldn’t have dropped Economics at all. Hahaha (I am serious) J He didn’t have such fancy notes, rewards or anything but he has the charisma which every teacher should have.


                                  


  Next, Denslee amazed me with the booklet he made for mock teaching. Honestly, it is not easy producing a booklet because I myself did a booklet for my mock teaching. I salute Denslee for his effort to come out with a booklet for Economics. I find the booklet idea was an interesting idea to get students away from the orthodox method of using their notes books for learning process. It was a great method to get students attention to learn better. The booklet was compact with notes and exercises after each topics and it was indeed a good method to have student who is sitting for major exams. Moreover, Denslee also made extra effort to prepare a very creative notes on mah-jong paper. It was colourful, in big fonts and everyone could actually see it clearly. As someone who doesn’t have any knowledge in Economics, I could actually understand better when Denslee actually taught. I liked how he used the Authentic learning in classroom, he related his lesson to the examples he could find at large. It was indeed another brilliant idea because students tend to learn better when you relate it to things around them. 

       

Next, I loved Nanthinni’s method of teaching Mathematics as well where she used the student centred approach. She involved students in the classroom activity where she prepared exercises and sticked it on board for students to do it in front. It is a very good reciprocal method to get students to engage in the teaching and learning process. There are also others who did the method for example Pritha, Abirami and many others. I loved this method because it get the students attention for example those who slacks away half way of the teaching process where some get tired and lose focus. In addition, I love the reward system done by most of them who did the mock teaching where some brought in grapes, chocolates and sweets to reward the team that managed to complete the quizzes and the ones who pays attention well in classroom. The way those who did mock teaching by blending in the reward system as per the Behaviorist School of Thought really worked where students who did well got their praises and rewards, this did only get the attention of the students but also enhances students understanding. For example, Denslee, Syahira, Nanthinni, Faridah, Kirthiga and few other used this brilliant reward system. P.s : If only I had you all as my teacher, I would have diabetic if I get those kind of sweets and chocolates every class! :p In addition, I loved how some of my friends used video to get the attention of students for example, Jasmine and Abirami. It was fun and interesting and I am amazed at their creativity to relate movie into teaching specific subjects. 

          In my person opinion, based on observing my friends Mock teaching presentation there are few things that should be avoided. Firstly, when preparing for classroom materials for example slides or hand written materials like in mah-jong paper, it is important that the font or the writing should be  big and clear enough to be seen by everyone in the classroom especially the ones seated at the back. Secondly, voice projection in classroom is an important element. Slow and soft voices cause students to not focus in the classroom and causing them to slack off real bad. A very good example of good voice projection would be Darseni and also Atilia. Kuddos girls! J I loved how the project their voice. I really hope I can do the same! Hahaha :p Thirdly, using mother tongue in classroom while teaching students should be avoided especially when you are in a language classroom where it acquires you to only use English. I am not saying one should not use at all because some students could understand better when you explain in their own mother tongue, but it is best if could be avoided. 

          I am really proud of all my October 2015 ESEB 2064 who presented their mock teaching so well though there is still one last batch presenting next Monday. I believe those who haven’t presented will do as well as those who have already presented their Mock Teaching. For a first timer, this is definitely something each and every one should be proud off. Those sleepless nights preparing lesson plans, cracking head to find ideas for notes, exercises and how to make it as presentable and creative as possible is definitely a hard work that should be praised off for. Thank you so much for everyone who presented for all the useful inputs, teaching methods and also the rewards of chocolates and sweets that I really loved! ;) Hehehe I would like to wish all the best for those presenting on the 28th December 2015 including myself. I am really hoping the best for all of us! :)

7th Reflection - Preparation to "THE DAY" - Mock Teaching! ;)


          This time around in my blog I would be talking about my most feared assignment in the whole year of studying in UNITAR - MOCK TEACHING! That two words freak me out almost every time when I hear my friend discussing about it - Lesson plan, mock teaching, lesson plan, mock teaching! Gosh it freaks me out like mad hahaha Like I said in my earlier blog, although I have the experience teaching and preparing lesson plan, but I feel really nervous about the whole Mock Teaching and lesson plan which will be taking place in few weeks time because teaching kids of less than 6 years of age is totally different from the ones in secondary school. So apparently, I am in the last batch of mock teaching which is on the 28th of December.  Relieve knowing I still have time for it but well ITS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY - CHRISTMASSSS! This time around Christmas is gonna be not so jolly but its gonna be all about lesson plan and mock teaching! hehe But its okay I shall look on the positive side of it I will still get to enjoy once its done. That's when the REAL CHRISTMAS BEGINS! ;) 
Countdown for Christmas : 15 days. Countdown for the REAL CHRISTMAS(MOCK TEACHING) 18 DAYSSS!! :D *Christmas tree at home(2013) yet to fix this year*



          Okay, lets get back to business on my preparation to Mock teaching. Let me begin by saying again that this is my most feared assignment and I am getting a little demotivated if I can do it wel or not but luckily I have an aunty who is a teacher and every time she whatsapps me I get reminded of preparing my lesson plan and as well as my mock teaching. Here's my preparation to mock teaching firstly,everyday I would think of various ways I can actually teach. I try to relate back to my old experience teaching in the kindergarten. I constantly think of creative ways I can use to approach the students in class on mock teaching day which will be my fellow classmates. Whenever I am on the way to campus, waiting for bus and more I always think off methods and approaches. It sought off helps me in a way because I waste time and rush in the last minute.


MAJOR CONCERNS TO ME AS A "TEACHER TO BE" :)

       
          Secondly, I also use Youtube as my learning medium, I watch on how various teachers use their skills and methods to approach students in a very interesting way. About lesson plan, I have yet to start writing on it, but I do have ideas on what are the topics that I would be teaching on and I have thought off the methods I would be using and as well as the ideas on the worksheets that I would be preparing on. I have yet to start up writing on it because I have few assignments due right before Mock Teaching.#storyofaunistudent #notprocrastinating #workoverloaded #Iwillsurvive Hahahaha 
I find Youtube a very useful medium for me as when I watch other teachers teach their students with all soughts of behaviour it gives me an idea on classroom management and it makes me aware that we need to cater to different needs of students to make the teaching and learning process a real meaningful one.

I came across this youtube video while finding for some "inspiration for mock teaching* :p Enjoyy it! hehe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmbcXQsCk34 #Stressreliever P.s  I hope I dont get students like this in the future! LOL :p


          Thirdly, I would also look into various lesson plans online just to get a better understanding of the things I could actually put in my lesson plan and as well as more creative activities I can actually conduct in class for Mock teaching day! I believe we cant just confine and follow whatever the lecturer has given because we when we explore that's when we tend to learn more. I am trying my best to actually find various ways and methods I can use to get a different and fruitful outcome and hopefully I would be able to actually do my best.

          This is my final assignment for Pedagogy in Education and it is also my last assignment for my semester four. I really hope I would be able to perform well in my mock teaching and I also hope I would be able to prepare a really good lesson plan. Wishing all my friends all the very best in all the preparations to THE DAY - MOCK TEACHING! All is well people. You guys will do fine! May the force be with us all ;) #Wecandothis #Dontgiveup #Itwillbeoversoonerthanyouthink
Keep Calm and All The best "Future Educators" ;)

6th Reflection - My Students, My Classroom Rules :)

This time around in my blog I would be talking on : 
Rules I would imply as a class teacher in my classroom :) 

          Rules in a classroom are an important element in ensuring the flow of teaching and learning in the classroom becomes conducive. As a teacher, may it class teacher or subject teacher I feel it is important that teachers become the rule maker in order for the students to abide to it in creating a wholesome future. I would touch on 4 main rules that I trust would be useful. :)


          The rule I would apply in my classroom as a class teacher is firstly it is  important that students have a study area by their own behind the classroom where they can have their time alone or with a few friends of them(3 – 4) can actually sit together and have a discussion by their own. Previously, when I was teaching in a kindergarten, I created a space at the back of the classroom where my students could actually go to the area and have their time out reading and if they don’t understand certain thing I would bring them to that area and teach them. That space also became a reading space where I brought in story books and as well as their compulsory “Peter and Jane” book which they have to read in class every day without fail. I feel it is important that this area is there for students because it could enhance students interest to study and as well as it acts as a medium where students can take their time out from the stressful teaching and learning time in their own spaces in classroom. 

Example of relaxing space behind the classroom from Google that could created by teacher and students. :)




          Next, the rule I would apply in my classroom as a class teacher would be students should constantly update their notice board. The rationale behind this is it makes the classroom more conducive for teaching and learning process. Relating this to my teaching experience in the kindergarten, I would make it a point to actually do art works with the students firstly to bring their talent out and as well as to use the art works to stick it on the notice board to appreciate their effort and when they feel they are all so not motivated and when they are in their own world of not listening to what I say, I would actually use the notice board as a boost for them. I would praise them for the effort and trust me it actually works. Kids are engrossed to praises so yeah that’s the trick here! ;) hehe We can even use this in the context of high school, teachers should encourage their students to stick whatever they want related to studies may it be art, poetry or even testimonials. It doesn’t even only brings out the talent of the student but also beautifies the classroom. 
One of my student, Hadif admiring the notice board we did together :) 
         
          Furthermore, the next rule I would imply in classroom is spread love and not hatred. It is important students love their classmates as we love ourselves because students are the ones who is almost always together and love should be grown in between them in order to prevent any sought of circumstances in the classroom. I would find ways for example placing and encouraging students to sit with friends from different races. This would not only ensure unity but also enable students to learn more from each one's differences. When students tend to love and care for the classmates then no rules is ever needed in classroom because love prevails all evil! ;) During my teaching experience, I had students from different backgrounds of culture and my major concern was will the students be able to get along with one another since they are still too small to understand and embrace the differences between them. I always tried to ensure them to actually say nice things in classroom for example praising one another and encouraging them to help others and rewarding them for their good deeds. It did work but it took some time for the students to digest it all. :) 
My previous kindergarten students are a living testimony that it is possible to create love and unity among classmates :) P.S : Excuse Hadif's strict face, he purposely did it haha He was the "big brother" in the class that always took care of the rest! :)  


Spread love people, not hatred! :) P.S : Pic of one of my student, Zara ;) 



          In addition, the next rule I would imply in classroom is I would stress on the importance of classroom duty roster. It is only fair if each and every one takes turn to do their task cleaning the classroom. It doesn't only engage students to work together but also enables them to actually study in a clean and conducive classroom. As a class teacher, I myself would prepare the classroom duties because if its given to one person to do it, they would choose the easiest task for them and as well as their friends too, so I myself would allocate their task and encourage them by rewarding the day that is cleanest compared to other days. When students actually know the hardship of cleaning a place, then it would promote good deeds in them for example they won't loiter in public places and more. This could cultivate good deeds and produce a good set of generation that gives good importance to cleanliness.


That's all from me for now, I hope this four ru
les I shared would be useful for future teachers out there. Have a good day beautiful people :)

5th Reflection - Seven Methods for Effective Powerpoint Slide Presentation.

       In the previous class, we looked into few powerpoint slides on lesson plan based on each of our majors including English, Economics and Mathematics. Many of us got different comments on the outlook and content of our lesson plan. There are few methods which I wrote down in class based on Madam Ng's comments :

1) Keep the background design minimal and it shouldn't be too colourful 

We always hear the quote "less is more" and it could be well applied in this case when we do our powerpoint slides. Good colour contrast on the background should be inserted like the example given by Madam Ng is that the background should be in a darker shade and whereas the text should be in a lighter shade to make it easier for the students to read.

Example :
This is one of the examples on how it should look on powerpoint slides :)


2) Importance in using proper type of fonts and font size. 

Often at times when I choose fonts for powerpoint slides, I choose the ones that looks attractive to me, but then during the class last session I realized how important it is to choose fonts that could be read easily by students. The example Madam Ng suggested in class was Century Gothic and the size should range from 20 to 25 so that students could read them clearly even from far.

   

3. Avoid cramming all the information in one slide. 
It is important that we don't cram a lot of information in one slide in order to avoid students from getting bored  or even lose focus of the subject being taught. Cramming too much information in one slide is never a wise thing to do, its okay if you have many slides as it could lead to better understanding and concentration.



Example of a bad powerpoint slide where they are overloaded information in one slide. 

4. Avoid using cartoon pictures or clip arts. 

I have always had the thought that cartoon and clip art could be something really attractive to be used in slides as it could make the slides more interesting. In the previous class, Madam Ng actually explained to us that it is always good using a real picture that is very much related to the lesson we would be teaching in class.

                                

An example of an emoji(clip art) and a real picture. Instead of using emoji's in slides we could actually use real life pictures of people that would represent the thing we would want to talk about to make it more realistic. 

5. Make the powerpoint slide lessons as local as possible.
What it means is simply by using Malaysian context examples in every points or even examples so that every student in the classroom would receive the message behind each lesson. Each student are brought up in different cultures and background so it is important that teachers find good examples to aid their teaching and learning. Students from urban and rural areas have different thoughts so its important teachers study each students before giving out their opinions on certain things so that they could relate it well to their own lives.  
"Malaysia truly Asia" - Be proud to be a Malaysian by using examples close to Malaysian students. :)
6. Use innovative way of beginning the teaching and learning session.

Often at times, teachers are prone to give notes to students from slides before starting off any lesson. What we fail to do is understand that we should come out of that norm and do something differenet for example like showing them a picture and asking them to guess whats the lesson of the day is going to be. By that way, students become more interactive in classroom rather than reading from the slides and causing them to get bored so easily. Different approaches would attract the students and enable better understanding and results.

7. Cover book examples 

This point applies to teachers who would like to show student examples of the books that teachers would be using in class. Most of the times, teachers would take the whole cover of the book and show it to the students. Its not an efficient way of showing students because they might not grasp the important elements from the cover page of the book. A good cover page example should be properly cropped with all the proper elements and information in it so that the session would be effective and fruitful.


This are few of the many methods given out by Madam Ng in helping us produce a good power point slide. Thank you so much Madam Ng for all the guidelines you have taught, it would definitely be very useful for us all in the future for mock teaching and as well as when we have officially graduated as an educator. That's all from me for now. Thank you so much for reading my blog and hope it would be useful for everyone. :)

4th Reflection : Important Part of a Lesson Plan :)

         
          Lesson plan is known as every teacher's "best friend" haha I hope. Well, in the previous class, we were exposed in creating our very own lesson plan based on the major we are going to take up in the future. I had experience doing lesson plan when I was teaching in the kindergarten and I got to admit that it seems quite different from what I have to design for secondary school going children. Firstly, would obviously the content of the lesson plan where kindergarten kids activities are far more easier to be designed in my opinion compared to secondary going children. Secondly, the complexity of the lesson plan itself is turning me into an angry bird. haha Why? Because it's not easy at all to design for secondary going children. Well, that's exactly why I am in Pedagogy in Education class right? hehe to learn better and use whatever I am exposed to in the future. :)

          Well, coming back to the main purpose of the blog where I am assigned to talk about the most important part of a lesson plan. Every part in a lesson plan should be given great emphasis but in my opinion the most important part would be on how we organize the time and activities in order to produce a very fruitful teaching and learning lesson. Time management and how a teacher organizes each activities should be done in great precision. This takes us to the stages in a lesson plan which compromises of elements like stage/duration, content/skills, teacher/student activity and lastly rationale behind each activities and audio and visual aid(AVA). Good content and approach in teaching and learning would ensure the good flow of knowledge in class because teachers are aware of what they going to teach their fellow students and when they know  they would be able to find the best method and skill to ensure their students actually would be able to catch up. Good content is proven to be an important element of a lesson plan. 





Side track! :p hehehe #truestory 

          A teacher should take into account all this important elements in a lesson plan, in order to create a good generation of students. Lesson plan could actually decide the flow of teaching and learning. Whether the class session is good or not, it all depends on the lesson plan and in my opinion each part of the lesson plan should be designed carefully as it determines the key performance index of a teacher and also the quality of students that would be produced. I honestly now have great respect for all teachers because designing a lesson plan is not an easy task at all and I believe most of my teachers have done a great job in sacrificing their time to be spent on creating a lesson plan for each class. A BIG SALUTE TO ALL TEACHERS AROUND THE WORLD FOR THAT! :)

Appreciation post to all teaches around the world who work really hard to create lesson plans. Big salute, again! :)



Thank you so much for taking your time to read my blog. Have a great weekend! ;)
