Day 22… 03-03-12…

5 Mar

I’ve got feedback from CT… Need lots of improvement but I’ll brief my lesson for the day first…

Year 10… Energy, Work Done and Power…

So I continued from the last topic (Power)… Then I give them classwork to exercise on… Some understands the topic energy… But some requires more explanation… I also gave them answers to check just in case… I’ll give them more homework on this topic to prove if they understand this topic…

Year 9… Osmosis…

I gave them notes this time… I return their classwork and ask them to complete it… That took the rest of the class… Most of the questions are explained and most answers are discussed… Graded their papers and a few needed more attention…

So on to the feedback… I need to make the students pay attention to the class… Might need to take a different approach in my next class… Like making them read notes and then discuss… Will give more thought about this…

Reinforcement… I didn’t reinforce when I asked questions… Like I should have said, “yes, the correct answer is … ” instead of rocketing through the lesson…

Next thing I’ll do is to pay attention to each student… Seems like whenever I leave my eyes to do something, some of them will start talking or doing unrelated stuffs…

Day 21… 29-02-12…

29 Feb

Things did not go according to plan…

 

Year 10… Work Done and Power…

Class got taken over by relieves… So I only manage to explain work done only…

Next class… Continue on power… And Some simple exercise…

Day 20… 28-02-12…

29 Feb

Things did not go as well…

 

Year 9… Osmosis…

Students don’t really understand this topic… Will explain this in more detail next class…

Gave them some exercise to try on… Exercise will be continued next class as well…

Day 17… 22-02-12…

29 Feb

Year 9 are back… But no class with them today… All boys were detained during assembly due to some of their actions…

Year 10… Suppose to be Source of Energy today…

But almost half the class are detained… Which is left with 6 girls and 3 more boys…

Update: Lesson is forwarded…

Day 16… 20-02-12…

22 Feb

Year 9s are involved in the National Day so no Year 9 class…

Year 10… Energy Conversion and Conservation… CT present…

I waited for too long… Almost 20 minutes had gone and some boys did not show up…  They showed up eventually and I started the lesson late…

And I need to make a habit of putting the multiplication symbol ‘X’ when writing out equations and formulas…

Oh… Before I forget… I didn’t manage to finish up the last sub-topic due to time constriction… Will carry it forward next time…

Day 15… 18-02-12…

18 Feb

Year 9s are involved in the National Day… Therefore, there are no Year 9 class today…

 

Year 10… Elastic Deformation…

Not many passed up their homework from before… Next time, I’ll try to give more classwork instead. So, I did a short recap on previous topic… Turns out it is a hard topic for them to understand… Even simple mathematics (calculating extension…) is a challenge for majority of the class…

So I spent half of the lesson trying to explain how the questions are done… Some are quite quick to understand… But others require more effort…

Next lesson, ‘Energy’… Big topic… Might take longer than I expect…

Day 13… 15-02-12…

15 Feb

Sore throat…

Year 10… Elastic deformation…

So, I asked for their homework… Only 13 manage to pass it up… I gave them a second chance, pass it up on saturday or you’ll receive no marks for it…

They have covered elastic deformation before, but some doesn’t know how to apply the formula to solve problems… Theory wise is average (I think…), the calculation part took quite some effort…

I manage to increase the volume of my voice up a bit… But they still chat among themselves… I might have to show my poker face if they don’t behave in the future…
