Problem-Solving

Sometimes students could not understand some words so the teacher had to find another words to explain until the students understood.

Classroom Management

            Teacher had to control her voice so all the students could hear the explanation. Teacher had to explain in fun ways to make the students understood the topic easily. Because of that the teacher used games and fun materials such as flash card, egg-ball, and song. That way also as a preventing way of students’ boredom. Teacher also had to control and guide the students to pay attention and involve in the activities.

Others

Once my teacher mentor asked my permission to use my technique. The topic was preposition of time (in, on, at). The technique was egg-ball (mix between snow-ball and cabbage ball).  The yolk as at, the white part as on, and the peach part as in. There were the clues inside the paper (year, month, day, or hour). The procedure were:

1.      Teacher explained about the egg-ball and the steps also the things which students had to do,

2.      Played a song and made the egg moved among the students,

3.      When the song stopped the student who got the egg had to peel the egg and come forward to give an example based on the clue which students got
