Day 11 of SEA-Teacher in the Philippines

 Today, September 9, is the eleventh day of Seameo Southeast Asia teacher practicum project in the Philippines. Since it is a weekend, I am only in the dormitory interacting with my roommates. Then I also prepared the teaching assistance lesson for Monday.




  One of the challenges I faced today was the language barrier. When interacting and discussing with our roommates, we were a little language-challenged.

 I also learned about the culture of the Philippines such as the colloquial language to be interactive when learning with students in the classroom.

  I realize that classroom learning needs good preparation so that the class can be interactive.

  Overall, Day 11 of the SEAMEO SEA-Teacher Project was a day of activities and lesson preparation activities.

The topic of today's lesson is Applied Genetics.   One of the challenges I faced today was that during the grand teaching demo, I was a little nervous.
