Day 23 : The Teaching Examination

8th August 2017

        My nervousness couldn’t be hidden, my body was felt so cold, why? Because this day was my Teaching Examination. I would be supervised by some supervisiors, they were Aj. Boonta (Biology Teacher), Aj. Hin (Coordinator of school on this program), Aj. Mey (Biology Teacher), and the coordinator from my university, but he didn’t come because there was a bustle in Indonesia.

 

 

An explanation

 

 

 

Interacting with the students

 

 

        I would teach in three classes Mathayom 1/1, 1/2, and 1/3. The topic was talking about Cell. My first class was  M 1/1, before entering to classroom, i tried to be calm and prayed as i could do. I hoped that what i had planed in Lesson Plan would be applied, and everyclass was taught well, so the students understood and got an unforgetable experiences in learning.

 

 

Asking and answering

 

 

 

 

Giving a prize

 

        During at this school, i had paid attention to everyclass, and observed. How they were, how  their characteristics looked like, what they did etc. so i had prepared different ways for M1/1-M1/3. Alhamdulillah, so great time, i had fimished it as what i hoped. The students were so cooprative, they asked when they didn’t understand, answered when i was asking them, active to positive activities in the classroom, and did all the intrusctions were given by me. Aaaaah i thanked to all of you my lovely students, i would never forget the memories during i taught you here. Hoped you too ! J.

Day 21 : Holiday and  The Sweet Home

6th August 2017

        We spent our time this holiday just in our home.  All of us would face the teaching examination this week bacause actually this was our last week to stay in Thailand. In this examination we had to prepare well. It would determine how good we were as a teacher during this program. So we did our hardwork to face it. This Saturday we cleaned our home, shared about the Lesson Plan that would be used in the examination. We gave advices each other and tried to give solutions if there were problems. Although it was hard for us, but we were also happy bacause all of us keep caring much more.

 

Day 22 : The Lopburi Zoo

7th August 2017

        Firstly, we planed just stay in our home as we did before, but Aj.Yaya asked us to go somewhere, She thought that it was batter than we just did our Lesson Plan, She said that it would make us suffer and  bothered our brain. She brought us to Lopburi Zoo for relaxing.

        The Boys went by using Aj.Hin’s car and the girls with Aj. Yaya. We were leaved in The Lopburi Zoo, because they had an other agenda. We spent some hours in there, after looking satisfactorily we went to Lopburi Monument as an icon of that city.

          This day was my first time facing the students of Satit Thepsatri School,  for one month i would be there to teach and doing some school activities as our programs. We were so nervouse at that time, because we had to introduce our selves by using Thai language.

 

Introduction by using Thai Language

 

“Sawatdee Kha !” (Greeting)

“Kru cheu Intan kha” (my name is Intan)

“Kru sorn witcha withayasart kha “ (i wiil teach science (Biology)”

“Yin di ti day ro jack” ( Nice to meet you)

“Khob khun kha” (Thank you)

We were making a wish for The King of Thai

          In Satit Thepsatri we had been prepared a room for doing everything by school. It was ASEAN room. We’d find much information about Southeast Asia countries, include Indonesia.

At the day, we planed to go to the downtown, as usuall our friend the student of TRU, Poppy and Nanny brought us to somewhere especially some famous places in Lopburi. We made an appointment to meet at Theptani Hotel about 11 a clock, so before going somewhere, we all Indonesian students walked aroud TRU and took any photos.

After waiting, about 11.30 a.m Nanny and Poppy had gathered with us, so we went  to the downtown as our planing by using minibus. The place that we vissited firstly was Sam Phra Khan as one of famous place and it was a place for praying. We looked around and asked Poppy and Nanny about what the activities of people at that time  mean, and they gave us the elaboration as well. We also saw the perfomace of traditional dancing from Thailand at that time the name of the dancing was Ramhai, aaah we enjoyed it very much, also the dancers were very kind to us.

We continued  our traveling to another place, the next place was Prhra Prang Sam Yot temple as the monkey temple, huwaaaa we were really scare at that place because you know? we found so many monkey, and sometime if we brought something we'd be came by the monkeys, altough we were scare but we thought that it was uniqe thing that we found in our live. We looked around and enjoyed it as well because we were gathered by animal tamer, it made us safe from the monkeys. hahaha...

 

 

                                                        ( The Prhra Prang Sam Yot)

 

Then we still continued, after vissiting the monkey temple, we planed to go to another beautiful temple, it was called Wat Maha That, we walked to reach that place it was quite far, but it was no problem for us, even we were happy because we'd get many thing while we were walking amoung there. When we arrived at the place, whooooaa we felt the admiration, it was bigger than Prhra Prang Sam Yot. It made us more excited to explore Lopburi more and more. Actually we had to pay the ticket if wanted to enter the temple, but we did know about that at the time, so we entered directly, hehehe we Indonesian Students were so shy and suprised when we heard that Poppy and Nanny had bought the tickets for us, aaaaaah thank you for both you guys !!! Hopefully someday if you come to Indonesia we also will give our best services.

The next trip was eating, hehe because it was time for lunch and prayed Dhuhur, so we taked a rest first and bought some foods, we vissited the halal restaurant around there. Yeaaay time to eat ! :D

The last place that we vissited at that time was The King Narai Palace, but so sad at the day the palace was closed, bacause holiday. So we just walked around in outside or in front of palace, hemh it was okay because the view was very baeutiful and made us so excited to take photos.  After we felt anought enjoyed The King narai Palace's views we planed to go back to our hotel, but before doing that we bought some ice tea to waive our tired :D. then we went back by using minibus.
