WEEK 12 IN SMK PERIMBUN

Entering my twelfth week at this school, my usual teaching routines continued as expected. However, this week was marked by a few remarkable events. The most significant one was the assignment my colleague and I received to manage the preparations for MAKA (Majlis Anugerah Kecemerlangan Akademik), an Academic Excellence Awards Ceremony. This task consumed our attention from Tuesday to Thursday, and what made it even more special was the invaluable assistance we received from our students. With their help, we successfully completed all the preparations, which truly showcased the incredible teamwork and dedication of our students.




Following this busy period of preparation, Friday brought another noteworthy event as I underwent my second observation session with my mentor. I had meticulously designed an interactive lesson for this observation. However, luck was not on my side as the school faced an unexpected power outage on that very day. Despite this setback, my mentor's unwavering support was the silver lining of the day. She encouraged me to proceed with the observation to the best of my abilities, even within the limitations imposed by the circumstances.

In the face of this challenge, I swiftly transitioned to my backup plan and began the lesson. It was a test of my adaptability and resilience, but I'm grateful to say that everything proceeded smoothly, thanks to careful planning and the support of my mentor. Alhamdulillah, the experience taught me to think on my feet and reinforced the idea that with determination and flexibility, one can overcome unexpected obstacles in the world of education.

Below I include my SWOT analysis.

WEEK 1 IN SMK PERIMBUN

 On July 31, 2023, I and three of my fellow trainees reported to Perimbun National Secondary School (SMK Perimbun) at 7:30 in the morning. Our presence was warmly welcomed by the Assistant Principal, Mrs. Siti Noriza. After meeting with Mrs. Siti Noriza, we submitted the necessary documents required by the school. Subsequently, the school assigned us as teachers for the morning session. After completing the document formalities, we met with the Head of English Department, Mrs. Aidah. She assigned a mentor for each of us to assist throughout our practicum. I was paired with Mrs. Khairiyyah as my mentor. In my opinion, Mrs. Khairiyyah is a cheerful, helpful, and understanding teacher, which makes me comfortable to seek guidance from her. During this time, we were provided with our schedules. During the first week, we were also given tasks to relieve several classes. I found it quite challenging to locate the classrooms I was assigned to due to the school's vast size. However, I recei...

WEEK 4 IN SMK PERIMBUN

  This week marks the fourth week of my presence in this school. Within this fourth week, it can be stated that there have been minimal changes due to the fact that the majority of the students are still engaged in examinations. For the form 3 class, I have successfully administered their speaking test during this week. However, in the current week, I have only one remaining period to continue my lessons for my form 3 students. Consequently, the instructional progress I was able to achieve for my form 3 students this week was limited to a rather straightforward lesson. The subject matter revolved around vocabulary associated with the fourth unit, namely "Special Relationship." The lesson comprised a basic activity where students were required to comprehend the meanings of each vocabulary term, followed by providing suitable examples using the names of their friends. In my assessment, this was the extent of what I could share pertaining to my lesson this week. Nonetheless, a...

WEEK 8 IN SMK PERIMBUN

 This week marks my eighth week at SMK Perimbun. As for this week, there isn't much to share as my routine remains quite consistent. I've been conducting teaching and learning sessions for both classes as usual. However, this week brought a slight twist as we had to attend school on Saturday due to a makeup day for a public holiday, which was postponed because of the elections. On this makeup school day, the school organized a Community Service Day, known as "Program Gotong Royong Madani," and various activities under the guidance of the Counseling Unit. I, along with my fellow practicum partners, were assigned to participate in the "Program Gotong Royong Madani." Throughout the program, everything went smoothly, and it turned out to be a rewarding experience. During the Community Service Day, our school came together to contribute to the betterment of our immediate surroundings and community. We engaged in a variety of activities aimed at fostering a sense ...
