Practical…where to go first then later the rest…

During Dr. Jaya’s class on Tuesday (28th September), we were asked to elect a class rep for the allocation of our teaching practical. After much hesitation from everyone, Nova volunteered to do the job. We didn’t think much of it afterwards since we were given a task to complete.

But the next day, a form was passed around for us to fill in the schools that we would like to go. Priscilla, Oon Oon, Winnie, and I have decided that we would house together during the practical. So, it would be convenient to find schools that are nearby. Priscilla and I are partners. We discussed which school was the best choice for us. So, after much discussion our first choice is SMK Notre Dame but we were stuck with the second choice. Since there was not much time because others wanted to write down their choices, we left it as that for the meantime. Oon Oon and Winnie were still unsure of their choices so they decided to fill up the form the next day.

I feel whatever it is, it is important to make decisions about the practical with your partner because he or she will be with during that 12 weeks of ‘agony’. The most important thing between the two is communication and understanding. This is to avoid miscommunication. So, hopefully we would get the schools we wanted. Good luck to TESL 7 for the next semester!
