When they did their exercise, Mam Esie let me looked around of the students and help the student when they had difficulties on answering the question. Some students raise their and asked me about what made them confused. It was nice when I had communication and interaction with the students. After that they checked it together with the teacher also Mam Esie gave clarification of the wrong answer.

When they did group discussion, they discussing each other, shared their idea. After they discussing in their own group then they would be answer it on the board. Before Mam Esie close the classes, Mam Esie gave them an assignment.

9-FAB Discussion Section

Today there was interesting day in 9-SCB class, you know that Mam Esie was so discipline person. And she already told the house rule of her class. That day 9-SCB class had quiz and Mam Esie reminded the house rule that they not allowed to talking each other during the quiz because it would be assumed as cheating. During the quiz there were some students talking each other and Mam Esie already warned the student. But they still talking, so it made Mam Esie angry. And stopped the quiz but actually all the students already done with their quiz. Then Mam Esie gave an advice to the students that what they had done was not a good thing. And asked the student to shared their story, what actually burden their mind. Then that day, half time of the Math period was spend by sharing section. When I saw some student raise their hand and sharing their story I was impressed how brave they were and confident student, even there was student tearing apart. Wow I thought that was the great part become a teacher, the teacher is not just teaching about the book say but like a parents at school. At the end Mam Esie gave them the motivation and reminded them not do the same thing.

After all the classes done, I had consultation with Mam Esie about my lesson plan. I showed my lesson plan that I had made, then she checked and I also explain about my lesson plan to her. After she checked it, with smile she said that she could see the flow of my lesson plan and she accepted my lesson plan. I was happy to hear it, I wish that I could teach the students as well as Mam Esie did. And Mam Esie said that I could do it. She also told me about the management of the class, how to control the class also she let me made my own house rule.
