Teaching Plan

I crafted the lesson plan following the Lazaro Francisco Integrated School template and under the guidance of Ma'am Joy (My CT) and Ma'am Ethel (NEUST Lecture). My lesson plan is created for 10th-grade students, delving into the topic of globalization, with a specific focus on the geo-cultural, geo-political, and geo-economic aspects. Seeking further, I collaborated with Ma'am Mariel, a lecturer from NEUST, who provided corrections and valuable feedback. In an innovative approach, I presented this lesson plan across three different classes, incorporating engaging gamification methods to enhance the learning experience.

Curriculum

Lazaro Francisco Integrated School adheres to the Philippines national curriculum, known as K-12, which spans 12 years, covering education from kindergarten to 12th grade. This includes elementary grades 1-6, junior high school grades 7-10, and senior high school covering grades 11-12.

Geography Teaching Plan

The social science learning framework in the Philippines is guided by the Department of Education (DepEd) curriculum. The curriculum aims to provide a well-rounded education that includes various subjects under the social sciences umbrella, such as history, geography, economics, sociology, and political science. The school emphasizes a unique approach by combining all of that into social science, with no specific focus on geography.

Teaching Practices

Procedure of Teaching

A. ELICIT:

Recap key globalization concepts through “Would You Rather?” Games.
Discuss impacts for an interactive review.

B. ENGAGE:

Understand choices affecting globalization.
Learn new terminologies: outsourcing, multinational companies, etc.

“Positive vs Negative” Games: Analyze globalization aspects.
Discuss diversity of perspectives, d.ivide students into "Pro" and "Con" groups.
Wrap up the activity by discussing the diversity of perspectives. It's essential to recognize how multifaceted globalization is.

C. EXPLORE :

Present real-world examples showcasing globalization forms.
Teach case study analysis on globalization impacts.

F. EXPLAIN:

Deepen exploration with specific examples.
Encourage discussions on global impacts.

G. ELABORATE:

“Where is it come from?” Games: Spot regions connected to globalization forms.
Connect dots between map locations and globalization effects.

Encourage generalizations about globalization forms and impacts.

I. EVALUATE:

Use interactive assessments for understanding, like thumbs up for "understood", thumbs down for "confuse".
Clarify doubts and encourage questions.

J. EXTEND:

Group Homework: Apply knowledge to real-world scenarios. Discuss and send answers via Facebook about why globalization benefits some countries more than others?

Time Management and Organizing Activities

Each class session spans 50 minutes.

Opening and orientation take up the first 10 minutes.
The core activity, the heart of the session, extends for 30 minutes.
The remaining 10 minutes are dedicated to evaluation and closing.

Classroom Management

In my teaching practice, I employ a technique I call the "waterfall" shout. Similar to the soothing sound of a waterfall, students are encouraged to respond with a collective "shh" when needed. This not only helps maintain a peaceful atmosphere but also instills a sense of unity among the students.

Additionally, I emphasize the importance of active listening by encouraging students to amplify their voices when expressing their opinions. This approach creates a supportive atmosphere where students feel empowered to share their thoughts and ideas while fostering a collaborative and respectful classroom dynamic.

Problem-solving while teaching and staying in the designated school

Teaching in a public school in the Philippines comes with a language challenge since "social science" must be taught in Tagalog. However, I chose to teach in English. Surprisingly, the students did well in understanding the lessons, even though they sometimes struggled to find the right words. We used Google Translate to help bridge the language gap. This experience showed how students can adapt, and it emphasized the need for creative solutions when teaching in diverse linguistic settings.
