My Reflection in Second Meet

Like water which flowing calmly by the course of the river. That was my situation when I learned in PETA class. This writing will discuss about my reflection about study activity in class by determining part that was effective and the other part which was not effective during the class. I think lesson that brought by Bu Mima today ran effectively. We can see that from the class today which used lesson plan as its framework and from the activities that was held in classroom.

As we know that one of the points about good teaching is that before the class starts, we must make a lesson plan. Lesson plan which is already created by Bu Mima made the learning process felt like flowing smoothly and the material that was explained wasn’t felt stiff.  Although we have already made a good lesson plan but if we could not convey it attractively, of course the learning process will be boring. Like Bu Mima said that we couldn’t fully comply the scenario in lesson plan, but at least the desired indicators could be achieved. The Lesson plan helps leading us to what we should deliver to students.

I felt that the activity was very effective to make students understand about the material. The given instruction was varies, the first activity was watching a video followed by discussion groups to criticize the video. Through the group discussion, we could argue about the sample that we saw about the effective and ineffective teachers. During the discussion, Bu Mima kept monitoring the course of discussions within the group. So she could assess the students’ participation in group discussions. Although the explanation about Bloom taxonomy was not discussed deeply but the discussion about making a lesson plan made me remember the material about Bloom taxonomy. Besides watching video and group discussion, there was a time when Bu Mima lecturing us. During the lecturing, the class was actively engaged because Bu Mima involved the students to ask and she lectured the students in an interesting way. She explained using examples and her own experiences about the teacher who makes a lesson plan.

It can be concluded that for me meeting in PETA class was effective, in terms of preparation, the way of delivering the materials, the activities, and the assessment about classroom discussions and students participation in classroom.
