             As part of the requirement in the curriculum of contemporary issue in promoting gender awareness in the community I impose video infomercial campaign performance task to my students. The infomercial is a campaign to stop the discrimination and violence to everyone, to Male, femlae or a member of LGBT. The lesson is under the third grading period about the gender and sexuality. In the date of submission, I received an excellent and rewarding outputs from the students. They all shared their skills in video editing, managing, screenplay and dramatization. The task is also integrated in the technology, I asked my student to post it in social media specifically in Facebook then the group who got the highest Facebook likes may receive an additional points.

                     Despite of the rewarding performance some the students unfortunately some of the students did not participate in the task due to several reasons. As a teacher, I impose an intervention activity to them to earn some of the grade required in the period. Here are some of the outputs of the students.

FEEDBACK

In the last day of my practice teaching in SVSFNHS. I was surprised and captivated by gifts and letters from my students. I am happy that they appreciated my ample amount of time in teaching them. I am really blessed in the first year in the field of teaching.

REFLECTION

                The hardship and time consuming preparation in teaching each day will be rewarded by the fulfilling outputs and appreciation from the students. The students attention during discussion is already enough to remove all the tiring preparation in each lesson but receiving several outputs prepared and students who gave too much effort in their projects are entirely different to feel, feeling of being happy and contented in this profession. As a teacher  I learned a lot of things in their outputs, I read their various views in one question, I appreciate their different techniques in their projects and I was amazed by their plans in constructing a new ideas in their performance output. This opportunity for practice teaching really convinced me that being a teacher is one of the fun and enjoyable profession despite of a many challenges and hindrance in achieving the required learning outcomes for the students.
