Wadi Sofia: Day Four

28 Agustus 2013

            We have a schedule to teach today. Since we just stay here for only two weeks, we don’t have much time to experience teaching students who come from many different country. That’s why for today we do team teaching so at least we teach them twice. 

            Since the secondary four is IGCSE class, the materials we use to learn obviously taken from the IGCSE syllabus. For this meeting, the materials is very short. The topic is thermal energy transfer while the sub-topic is conduction. 

                  We use Microsoft Power Point as media to explore the materials. We use concept attainment model and think-pair-share for this class since there are only few students. First part is handled by Dewa who describe conductor and insulator through experiment. Then it is me who explain the way vibrating molecules inside the solid transfer heat. Before the class end, we give them mini quiz conducted by Ety. So far, students get excited and understand everything we teach. But still we need to practice speaking English so it won’t be stuck in the middle of talking for both explaining and teaching.
