It is a fact that most of the students nowadays are not

booklovers. They tend to have their attention on what is the trend.

They usually preferred to read eBooks which are not associated in
school. Undeniably, it is a hard part of a teacher to have topics like
short stories or even a poem. Only few students will read and it also
depends if they can relate to what they are about to read. So, it is a
challenge for a teacher to device some activity that can arouse
students’ interest and will inspire them to love reading.
Precisely, teaching grammar is both difficult and challenging,
difficult to the students to use the correct grammar and in times of
writing, they are curious of how they are going to construct their
overflowing ideas. On the other hand, it is very challenging in the part
of a teacher because she needs to be more knowledgeable so that
she could teach well and could answer students’ queries during the
discussion.
The catch-up Friday activities were really fun. Eagerness to
win was evident in every faces. Having activities promotes
competitiveness, leadership and cooperation.
Indeed, this whole week experience give me valuable ideas
that will help me to become a better teacher. It also inspires me to
read more so that I could give them more.

Accepting criticism and suggestions makes a person grow.

Since educators are reflective practitioners, there is always room for
improvement in both lessons and instructional strategies. I was able to
think about how I could do better by reflecting on myself and having
discussions with my cooperating teacher.
