Weekly journals

(Week One)

I am a student in semester seven which is my graduation year in my college career. On 8

November 2020 is my first week of teaching remotely but without having children. To be
honest, I faced an issue this semester the reason is, I choose a school and they rejected me
because they could not have a student teacher in their building, furthermore, COVID-19
make the situation tough the reason is they should keep a particular number of staff in the
school. Dr. Slim and all the facilities of education did a Zoom meeting with all the students
they don’t place in schools. They suggest doing alternative tasks for us which we should
explain 10 – 12 lesson plan and other tasks that include different information that we should
complete, education department divided us into groups and each group has nine members,
my group members are friendly and support, motivate each other, at this time we should
pretend that we are students. All of us will be evaluated four times, two times from mentor
college teacher and two times from colleagues. On 11 November 2020 Dr. Neil observed me
with the first English lesson plan it was about (Proper and Common nouns), besides, the
feedback from Dr. Neil was a very great and good evaluation of my teaching remotely. On 15
November 2020, Dr. Neil observed me with the second and last lesson plan it was Science
(Animals live in groups). I noticed that the students have a misconception of why the
animals should live in groups, but they have the knowledge of the names of the animals. At
the end of the lesson, I used positive reinforcement by giving all the pupils a class Dojo of
participating and be on task. The feedback from Dr. Neil was good and helpful for the next
time of any lesson plans.
