ANALYZE
Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following questions.
1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class? Why? Why
not?
 I have observed the class for 11 weeks and I must say that the routines used
and established by my cooperating teacher is effective in ensuring the
discipline and order in the class because it served as the guide for students of
what they are supposed to do inside the classroom, for example, when passing
the papers, instead of standing up one by one, the students are taught how to
pass it without standing and without making noise which makes the class
organized and not become a mess. In addition, after the flag ceremony and
students are to go back to their respective classrooms, they are trained to make
a line according to their section so there will be a smooth way back to their
rooms. Routines established help students become more disciplined and
organized and as a result, students know how to behave accordingly at school.
2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented? Explain your
answer.
 Routines that are systematic and consistently implemented are as follows;
Passing of Papers, Asking Questions During Lessons, Walking in Line, and
the Use of Lavatories. These routines are systematic because they are done in
a way that fixes an old system or practice, these routines serve as a remedy to
specific situations which needs fixing. These are as well consistently
implemented because it is being enforced every day to help the teaching and
learning process become organized.
REFLECT
Reflect on the various routines observed.
1. Which of the routines will you most likely apply in your class? Why? Why not?
 Routines such as Prayer, Checking of Attendance, Review of Previous Lesson,
Discussion, Quizzes, Giving of Activity, Passing of Papers, Asking Questions
During Lessons, and Lining Up will certainly be included to the routines that I
will apply in my class because based from my observation during Field Study,
these routines are really effective in achieving an organized classroom and
 having disciplined students but other things that will be added to these routines
will depend on the type or kind of learners that I will have in the future.
Activity 6.2 Listing Down Classroom Rules
Resource Teacher: Yvonne B. Raymundo Teacher Signature:

School: Feliciano Yusay Consing National High School

Grade/Year Level: Grade 7 Subject Area: English Date: December 26, 2023

OBSERVE

Observe a class and list down the classroom rules formulated by the Resource Teacher. Cite
the importance of these rules.

Classroom rules are imperative and must be reinforced for teachers' safety and security, Rules
also teach discipline and self-control. Rules eliminate stress and will provide a more pleasant,
secured and non-threatening environment. Rules ensure the students' engagement and focus
in their classroom activities.

Classroom Rules Importance

1. E.g Read directions well. - Ensures less error in answering the
activity.
2. No Bullying - To protect every learner from
throwing offensive words at one
another that may potentially cause
emotional and mental trauma.
3. Don’t be late - Teaches students how to be punctual
and realize the value of time.
4. No phones during class discussion - Encourages students to be respectful
of anyone talking in front and to be
focused on lesson being discussed.
5. Proper Disposal of Garbage - Teaches students how to be
responsible of their own trash and to
take good care of the environment.
6. Respect Everyone - Students are taught to treat everyone
the way they wanted to be treated
and respect if they want to be
 respected.
ANALYZE
Analyze each given rule.

1. What circumstances led to the formulation of the rule?

 I honestly haven’t discussed this matter with my cooperating teacher but base
on my stay there for 11 weeks, I have observed that these rules serves great
purpose because not only that it guides and discipline students of the things
that they must and must not do inside the classroom but most importantly,
these rules have protected each and every learner from any possible harm that
may happen inside the school. Furthermore, these rules became the basis of
determining right from wrong and it helped both students and teachers.
2. Are classroom rules really important?
 I believe Yes, classroom rules are really important, they shield students'
educational experiences from disturbances or transgressions and guarantee
their physical and mental well-being. Moreover, one way to foster open
communication in the classroom is to have your students participate in the
creation of the rules. More control over their learning environment may give
students a sense of empowerment and increase their likelihood of adhering to
the regulations. They will understand that the regulations are just, sensible,
and advantageous to all.

REFLECT
Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher. Will you have the same
rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your answer
Employing rules inside the classroom is really important for it will help the teacher to
somehow control the behavior and actions of the students and discipline them in a way that
their rights as student won’t be violated. Having been able to observe the class and how
students behave, I could say that the rules set by my cooperating teacher is effective because
although there are times when students are getting out of control but most of the time, they
really know how to behave accordingly and even despite the fact that the rules are not posted
on the wall, they are still well aware of it and they really abide by the rule set for them.
If I were to become a teacher in the future, I could say that I will adapt some of the
rules that my cooperating teacher have set for her students and these are as follows; No Phone
During Class Discussion, No Bullying, and Respect Everyone. These rules have been very
effective and I’ve seen how positively it affects students which is why I wanted to adapt it
and enforce to my future students. However, there will certainly be few more rules which will
be added depending on the type or kind of students and that I have and also on the
circumstances we’ll be facing in the future.

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

Take some snapshots of the classroom routines employed by the Resource Teacher which are
worth emulating. Tell something about the pictures.

Class Discussion. Class Discussion will

always be one of the most important and
crucial routine that every teacher is having.
Shown in the picture are students during class
discussion. As it shows, no one is standing and
everyone is behaving properly. They are
provided with modules and for one moment
during class discussion, they were asked to
read a selection.
Giving of Activity. In the photo are Grade 7
SPJ during their class activity. They are given
an individual activity from the module as part
of training them on how to work
independently. Although there are times when
they are doing Group Activity but it is also
important that they learn how to work on their
own.

Giving of Quiz. One way to test students

learning from the discussion is by giving them
a quiz. The photo shows Grade 7 Zeus
answering a quiz given to them right after the
class discussion. This is another strategy used
by my cooperating teacher. Although giving
of quizzes is always part of every teacher’s
routine, but my cooperating teacher would
give the quiz right after the discussion.
