9/28/17; Thursday	This was the first official day of my practice teaching. I handled Grade 7 and 8. I first taught Grade 8 Water Hyacinth with the topic “Kabihasnang Indus”.	I used the classical conditioning theory of Ivan Pavlov wherein I used bell as symbol eveytime they are noisy, I just ring the bell and they will behave now. It is very effective, but sometimes they made it funny. I also gave formative assessment to challenge their intelligence, and hopefully, they’re scores are good.	I have learned that teaching is a hard task. I learned like teacher domain cannot be prevented because it is natural in teaching especially if the level of students is not as high as we expected, so adjustment is a must.

9/29/17; Friday	I first used lecture method as one of my introduction. Poster making	I used ball for recitation to get the attention of my students. I also used bell for classroom management. Then, I gave an  activity which was poster making(creating their own civilization).	I learned for this time it is hard to handle sections with different attitudes and behaviors. So that is why I used some materials as my help for my teaching. I also gave them the freedom to create their own civilization for them to show their talent and skills in arts.

10/02/17 Monday	In recitation, I used pair to pair recitation wherein I grouped them into pair and they asked their partner at least three questions about the previous topic(Kabihasnang Indus). Then, after the balik aral, I next grouped them into two using UNO cards. I played “Indus Quiz Bee”.	I first get the attention of my students so that they will engage to learn more. I used this kind of technique to make them more interested.	I have learned that they are more enjoyable in games than listening to teacher. They felt boring if using lecture method. But, it is not hard to not using. I need more practice.

10/06/17 Friday	National Teacher’s Day	I have seen students who have their special performances for teachers.	Enjoyment never ends in the four sides of classroom, sometimes it ends with another comprehensive activity,and that was the National Teacher’s Day celebration. I saw the bonding of teachers and students and their message with each other—Love inspite and despite of problems and happiness.

I have learned  that they love to show their skills if you let and allow them to be free.

10/16/17 Monday	We already proceed to Kabihasnang Greece because of lack of time. I just used lecture method(Grade 8)	Although I used lecture method, I used ICT to make my reporting simple. I also used ICT for my motivation(3 words in one)	Teacher must need motivation for students everyday because if not, they will get boring and will not give full attention. For me, even though it is short, still it is the “energizer of teaching profession”.

10/26/17 Thursday	This week was the semestral break of my cooperating school.  My critic teacher requested me to go to ANNEX to check the papers of our students in 2nd Periodical test.

11/06/17 Monday	I did not teach yesterday because I attended to the COEd Week. But, my critic teacher requested me to go to school to check the scores of our students in our activity.	I did not use any methods or techniques.	I have learned one thing: You need to prioritize your critic teacher no matter how busy you are. You need to give time with your critic teacher inspite of your extra curricular activities. Like in our life, we have to be more flexible  in all times and entertain everything as long as you can.

11/16/17 Thursday	This was the first day of our second grading because of the 3 day APEC Summit. I discussed the remaining topics in the Second Grading Period(Mga Relihiyon sa Asya in Grade 7 and Mga Naging Pinuno sa Imperyong Roma in Grade 8).	I used ICT as alternative in teaching. After the discussion, I gave an activity.	According to Educational Technology II, an ideal number ratio is 6  by 6 or 7 by 7. But based on my observation, many of my students cannot elaborate their ideas everytime I gave activities with them. And as what I have observed,they just only answering according from what they had seen. If the slides of every presentation I will use was the ideal, therefore, they will just answer short. But if I will use, they will do the same.

11/17/17 Friday	We adjusted to the topic because of lack of time for third grading. I started discussing the first topic in 3rd grading. In Grade 7 was Mga Dahilan ng Pagkakaroon ng interes ng mga Kanluranin sa Asya at Ang Pag usbong ng Banal na Imperyong Roman in Grade 8.	I used the art of questioning method as what the head of AP department said to me. I used it during discussion. I also used pictures in our topic so that students will get familiarize. After discussion, I gave activity which was they will give what the other possible reasons why Westerns had interest in conquering Asia(Grade 7).	I needed to improve my art of questioning because as what I have observed, my students cannot answer easily everytime I will ask them questions. That is why I need to improve my style in asking questions. I need to improve myself more.

In this part, I used the art of questioning and their freedom to express want they want to show through slogan.

11/21/17 Tuesday	In this day, I taught imperyalismo sa Timog Asya, particular in India and Pakistan. I gave an activity which was debate.	I used art of questioning in my discussion. In using debate, I used it as my technique so that their classmates will follow to the discussion and will understand it clearly.	I have learned that teacher must always use “what?” first in using or making art of questioning because sometimes or oftentimes, students cannot answer high questions easily like “how” and “why”. I needed to improve myself more.

I used mumbers representing letters in the alphabet. I made this so that students will not get boring. I gave an activity in Grade 7 which was they needed to give what were the possible reasons why Westerners got interest to conquer Asia. Next was I used an analization using their reading comprehension. I asked them to read Krusada in their AP Book and after that they answered by completing the sentences in the blanks.	I enjoyed a lot when I saw my students deciphering in our motivation. I saw them enjoying the game and after that I saw them got interest in my discussion. Actually, I do not want to give any rewards because my head teacher in AP told me that we need to see the reality and not another one. I needed to improve my skills in asking questions.

11/23/17 Thursday	In this day, I gave an activity to my Grade 7 and 8 students which the topic  were Imperyalismo sa Timog Asya and Ang Paglakas ng Simbahang Katoliko ,respectively. My students in Grade 7 analyze                    what was the drawing wanted to express(groupings) and Slogan for Grade 8	In my motivation, I used the “What If’s?” to relate my students in everyday life and to the past(topic). In my discussion, I used the question and answer method or the art of questioning so that my students will relate more to the topic I was discussing.	From the start my head teacher taught me the proper question and answer method, I have learned that asking questiong that will relate students will give them interest to focus on the topic because they feel they are belong to the topic and they surely experienced it.

11/24/17 Friday	In this day, I discussed Imperyalismo sa Kanlurang Asya, and after that I gave an activity which was the Information chart.	I tried to get activity coming from the module/book. I used question and answer method so that students will relate to the topic.	Based on what I have observed, I found out that they were hard to answer because the activity found in the book was hard for them. Maybe because of the kind of students or the kind of activity. So,therefore, I need to think not so easy but not so hard activity next time.

11/27/17 Monday	This week was my week because in Wednesday will be my demonstration day, but today the school will be celebrating the English week. We have short time or we will teach half day only. I taught Timog Asya shortly.	Because of the short time, I just discussed shortly. But, that was not the reason  to not to teach. I used the question and answer method.	Why I always used question and answer method? Because I have learned something: If you mastered it, then you will teach students properly and they will go outside the classroom bringing what they have learned. I have learned that visual aids is not much important, but what is the lesson they learned and how do they relate to the topic, how they experienced in throughout their minds, and why they need to learn the topic. I have to learn and improve it more.
