Reflection:

Students normally feel difficult to master the grammar of Singular and Plural Nouns. Sometimes, they felt confused whether they have to add ‘s’, ‘ch’, ‘ies’ or others form to a plural noun. So, in this lesson, I use ‘Onion Ring’ for my learning activity. Students were divided into two groups in circle. One group were given with singular noun card, another group were given with plural noun card. Students started their activity with one group turn to left and another group turn to right. Each turn, students from both groups will try to match their noun card in singular and plural form. This activity will continue until every student match their card in singular and plural form. Every students felt very excited because their do this ‘Onion Ring’ in school field.

Improvement:

I shall play music in this activity. So, students will know the time left for this activity and they can complete the activity in shorter time. Therefore, I have enough time to discuss to students about their answers. Encouragement should be given to students for carrying out activity successfully.

Reflection:

I have played this video: The Butterfly Colours Song in my next English lesson. Firstly, I played this video for my students and taught them how to sing the song. After that, students took out their own butterfly; they sang the song while waving their butterfly. Students learning’s interest were increased in good learning environment. They not only learnt a new song but they also learnt new vocabulary about colours such as: red, green, yellow, pink, purple and orange.

Improvement:

I will divide my students in groups. They have to discuss in their own group and decide how to perform the song with appropriate actions. Group activity helped foster cooperation among students and strengthen their learning memory of the day.
