Student-teaching Day 03

Ma’am de Villa told me to prepare a lesson plan already. It’s for the June 28-29 lecture on Beowulf. I’ve read the texts that are to be used last Monday… Almost right after the textbook was given to me. I have to recall how to make a lesson plan. I was trying to recall the moment she told me but I just couldn’t remember. This has caused me panic as well, making me not pay attention to the reports, which is why I wasn’t able to answer her quiz questions as well.

She also asked me to pick which class to handle. I chose 9-Gold because the Gold kids greet me already whenever they see me in the hallways. They seem to be more behaved as well.

I made some grave mistakes today. I didn’t introduce myself to 9-Calcium when I went to their class and told them to start preparing for their reports. Add to that not answering the questions Ma’am de Villa gave her class… I felt that I was being an irresponsible student teacher by asking her for the answers when I should’ve had them myself.

I had many erasures on their bluebooks (the test booklets). Considering answers, crossing answers I originally considered correct, miscounting the score… >_< I hope they don’t get mad at me. I seem to have a serious problem with counting. I started checking the Gates test (reading age) last Tuesday and I took 4-5 times longer because I was counting and recounting and recounting…. and recounting… sometimes the number I said to myself out loud, the number I had in my mind, and the number I wrote on the paper all didn’t match. It was frustrating. Sometimes I miss marking a wrong item, and miss counting it as well, making my values mismatch.

Oh, I ended up wearing my tall shoes. I feel more comfortable in it, not that I have any point of comparison.

Mantra for the day: I am a teacher.

I am a teacher. Soon. But I might as well put that in mind. I am a teacher with responsibilities to my students. I have to ensure quality learning by delivering quality teaching.

Karaoke

I don’t know if anyone noticed the OMFG Blah! page to the left…. I sing Karaoke. I use a program that plays an instrumental or karaoke version of a song, and I sing along with it. The voice is recorded. After that, I can add effects like echoes and stuff, then mix it. I do this for fun, even if I put my soundclick songs to paid downloading for most of my recordings. It’s just for US$0.25 though. XD I dunno if anyone would be willing to buy, but heck, I need money. Might as well give it a try.

I’m on various websites and forums other than that soundclick one, like OMGSONG and VoiceActingAlliance to promote myself or something but not really. I’m pretty popular on OMGSONG though. >_>  Dunno what people hear in my voice. They must be masochists.

Anyway, on OMGSONG….
