Grade 10 Social (Geography)
Buckingham Room
I have taught Geography (Grade 10 Social) The Geography class is divided into two periods, from 01:50 PM to 02:30 PM, and from 02:30 PM to 03:10 PM.

The class is being held in TMI-SHS Building C, ground floor, Buckingham Room. Our topic for this day is about Lithosphere.
During the Observation Period, I noticed that Grade 10 Social are less active in game-based learning strategy as compared to other classes. This is partly due to the logical thinking characteristic of the students.
I decided to use lecture method during our first meeting. To encourage the Grade 10 Social to be more active, I gave them a project, that is to create a volcanic model to be presented in the next meeting.
I created a game-based material that resembles "Kahoot". This material will be utilized for the next meeting.

During the Observation Period, I noticed that Grade 11 Social are more active in game-based learning strategy as compared to other classes.
I opened the the class meeting through a message relay game. Also, I gave each student a form which contains the Pointing System, KWL Chart and the Learning Logs to be utilized for the subject.
To further explain Consumer Price Index, I used contextualization of inputs so they could relate the topic to the daily life of Indonesians. I asked them to give the price of goods and services in their City. I used this price inputs to explain the concept and computation of Consumer Price index
Actually, all the subjects (except English and Bahasa Indonesia Subjects) in TMI and other schools are taught in Bahasa Indonesia. It would require further adjustments for students to understand the subject if the medium of instruction is English. So, to lessen t further adjustments on the part of the students, I decided to translate the concepts and try to speak in Bahasa Indonesia as mush as I could.
Introducing the Pointing System, KWL Chart and Learning Logs Form to Grade 11 Social
WEEK 2, DAY 9 (February 01, 2018) Thursday
This is the first time that I will meet the Grade 11 Science. But this first-time experience gave me the feeling of excitement more than the feeling nervousness. Just like the other classes that I have handled, Grade 11 Science are active students. They are great inquirers. They always asked questions about a certain issue in History. And this make the class more interactive!

I observed and I learned that most of the Grade 11 Science have no quality time with elders. So, I decided to introduce a project from which they could learn History at the same time, have a quality time with their elders/parents.
I instructed them to create a video interview with their parents about the Colonial History of Indonesia. The video will be submitted on the next meeting. I hope that the objective of this project would be attained - to learn colonial history from the students' respective parents...
