On Preparing a Lesson Plan

Name: Melchizedec S. Mendez Date

Subject Area: MAPEH Cooperating Teacher: Mr. Leo P. Atamosa

1. Describe the goals and purpose of your lesson plan.

Lesson plan is a guide for teachers for their lesson to inline his/her objectives in the
class. Learning outcomes are achieved once the students had come up with what we
call the maximum learning. Through assessment or evaluation results, teachers would
be able to know whether they have or have not absorbed and applied the concepts
they must gain during class discussion.

2. What problems did you encounter in writing your lesson plan?

In making lesson plan I have some difficulties like how to make the objectives that meet
the interest of the learners. How to create the activities that fits into the objectives.
And how to deliver my topic into the class and what teaching strategy to be use but we
learn in the first time, make some observations and try to reflect where is the part of my
lesson plan I cannot follow and why then make some changes till your lesson plan fits
and met the learning interest of the learners.

3. How can you improve your written lesson plan?

I can improve my lesson plan by putting extra time on doing it. Because if I had a full
time on creating it, I know I can do more something about it that will encourage my
students to listen well during in my class discussion.
4. Did you deviate from your lesson plan? Why/ why not?
As a fist time teacher to deviate into your plan makes some confusion but in the real
field you cannot take away the possibility that we can be depart from our lesson plan if
during the discussion the learners interest depart from your lesson plan but it should
be in line to your objectives.
5. Experienced teachers claim that they “can teach their classes even without a lesson
plan.” How do you react to this? Provide reasons for your answer.
Experienced teacher that they can teach without lesson plan because as a teacher if
you are master of your topic you can teach without lesson plan and you already know
the sequence of your classes you are master so you can teach without using lesson
plan.

prepared always specially the Instructional materials before you going to discuss you
must be prepared.

because that is also part of teaching.

On Actual Team Teaching

Name: Melchizedec S. Mendez Date

Subject area: MAPEH Cooperating Teacher: Mr. Leo Atamosa

1. After you have done your first actual team teaching, what were your realizations?
How did you feel about co-teaching the lesson?
Teaching in the Field is not easy because you need to talk before the students and
you have no idea what kind of person they are it is needed to have passion in
teaching and also the most important thing is you have patience. The role of a
teacher is to provide the needs of the students thus communication skills and
modulated and monotonous voice is needed in this kind of field. And this moment
is an unforgettable experience that I ever had because aside from the difficulties I
encountered, I enjoyed and happy especially if you can see that your students are
respectful have learn something from you.

2. What do you think went well in the lesson? Give details.

The lesson went will, though there are times of lapses but still it was all cover up at the
other ways. As conducting the first actual teaching of their present lesson, it is not easy
as they were teachers observed you but it was better so that we as choosing this
career will be given advice on how to be an effective teacher someday.
During the teaching process, I am the assisted to my buddy as he was explaining in
front to give what must be the materials pasted on the board and in activity assisting the
groups to what they would do and vice versa

3. What would you like to improve and focus on during future planning and delivery?

During future planning and delivery I would like to improve and focus on the content of
the lesson, the relevance on it in our daily doings, because learners easily understand if
they already experienced it. The things that I will improve are the instructional materials
and also the medium of communication.

On Examining the Resources

Name: Melchizedec S. Mendez Date

Subject Area: MAPEH Cooperating Teacher: Mr. Leo Atamosa

1. What is the importance of aligning the Instructional Resources and learning activities with
the objectives of the lesson?

The importance of it is to make relevance of your instructional materials to your

certain topic, and of to add information to your learner. Interconnected resources will
help teacher to easily explain or deliver it unto the learner it because from the
learning materials they will think what would be the topic all about. For you as a
teacher, it will not be hassle to find another resource if you can make your materials as
an examples. The relevance and the interconnectivity of instruction materials to your
objective will be the most important.

2. What difficulties have you encountered in planning your lesson plan with regards to the
availability of instructional material resources?

The difficulties that I have encountered in planning lesson plan with regards to
the availability of instructional materials; fist, the difficulty on how to materialize the
resources to be more efficient and effective to the learners when I teach to them,
second is how to be consistent in making instructional materials, the creativity of doing
it. Lastly, if I may able to manage so that my materials will be useless.

3. What have you done to address this problem? (refer to question #2)
 My aid of this problem is that to think well and I put the situation that I am in the class
teaching using these resources, and imagine what would be the impact to the learners. I
am the one who will evaluate it first, and then if I am not confident of it I will refer it to
other person to judge what would the negative or positive impact to the learners and
then asking for suggestion to him

DAY 4
On the fourth day of field study it is the last part and the last moment with my co-pre-service
teacher. She continues actual demonstration to teach the students and to continue again the
topic. My cooperating teacher Mr.Leo Atamosa he observed again to my actual demonstration.
My co-pre-service teacher she is first to teach lessons their students then follow me as team
teaching as we observed it’s very challenging and fun if your partner is really good in teaching
she is cooperate to me and help me if I have a problem about my teaching. During my
demonstration I will group my students into a row to perform their task activity or oral
participation in the front of their classmates’ observed to my students some of them who did not
read carefully and clearly. My strategy is repeating the reading on the board and tells their
students read everybody in louder his/her voice. The cooperation of the students made me
amazed. They hands their arms up and even they are noisy a little bit but it was all about
conversations of the topic. I have observed the grade five class I was observing that there
individual differences capabilities in general. There are students who have the potential to be
great, active learners. In their lessons proper, I can say that teachers’ daily routine is good at
least by reviewing their past lesson. The students remember what they had tackled in previous
meeting before going to the next topic. I observed also that the teacher is good in handling to
his students and managing the class. One thing got my attention and even curiosity was the
smooth relationship of the students towards their teacher. They have a harmonious interaction.
The students were not afraid or got nervous with their teacher which usually happens Mr. Leo
Atamosa was a humorous person despite he is single person. He makes his students laughed
of his jokes sometimes he is serious. He knows his students very well. Grade-V students of
Montevista Central Elementary school have a harmonious relationship with their teacher Mr.
Leo Atamosa maybe because they treat their teacher as if it was their brother or father.I had
learned success of individual should not be measured by what is differentiation is important so
that each child can work at his own level so they opportunity to progress whatever level work at.
