thing that I call "Lesson Plan"

It's been really an addicting activity i found lately... yeah..lesson plan.. that's what all teachers always prepare before they teach and this has been my favorite thing to do. almost a week i've dealt with my lesson plan, sitting before my laptop, opening and reading the book and thinking about interesting classroom activities that can make my student enjoy the learning time.

so, this semester my students will learn some expressions and texts. the expressions are various, started by how to give suggestion, making a complaint, expressing hopes, giving order,etc,. for this expression i have to combine two basic competences (listening and speaking) in one meeting as we have to press the next materials into this semester. the reason is quite logical-next semester we're gonna prepare our kids with national exam material. it means that we review the material from grade 10 to 12 by practicing the questions. you know, thinking about it makes me remember my own experience when i was in this grade. i just consider how tired my teachers were...but they never complained. yup, that's the best lesson i can learn from them and also the thing that i'm trying to adopt.

that's why now, even though it's quite late and for someone suffering cough and flu i've got to sleep, in fact i still enjoy sitting and typing my lesson plan.. :)

another thing that steals my desire to go to bed is how to make my students enjoy learning the texts. i know some of them must be kinda bored for they have to learn so many kinds of writing. and this semester they will learn "narrative, explanation, discussion and review" with me. i'm still thinking hard how to make them learn these texts joyfully. i've been considering some tasks such as giving them project to find their traditional legends or myths and translate it in English for narrative and let them watch a movie in my class for writing a review text but for the latter time may not be enough for one meeting. hmm...or i ask them to watch it at home then they will write their review. yeah, i'll see it later. if i still have much time before semester test then i'll go with my first plan.

i always have a big hope that they wont find my class boring.. i'll make them enjoy learning with me and make sure that they'll fall in love with English (especially those who hate learning English)..

that's all for today's update.. lesson plan...lets go on!!!
