My Eighth Reflection

My Eighth Reflection

2^th -5^th  of April 2018, I studied a lot of thing, such us:

1. The difference between HOT and HOTs. I got some explanation from the lecture about HOT. Lecture said that something which makes the students curious is HOT (Higher Order Thinking). While HOTs (Higher Order Thinking Skill) is theory of Taxonomy Bloom which include analyze, evaluate, and create.


2. In making an activity, something that should pay attention is in the word choices, such us:

The students hear the song and the students read the text. The word “hear” and “read” isn’t part of activity. It should be: The students answer the question from the song which is heard. And the students write the important information from what has been read. The word “answer” and “write” is an activity.

The teacher doesn’t have to explain the material to the students, but the teacher can explain the material to make the students can answer the worksheet or task. Teacher also doesn’t have to explain grammar explicitly. But the teacher can ask a question related to the grammar, and students answer the question correctly. For example, if the teacher want to teach present perfect. The teacher can ask to the students a question related to present perfect, where have you been this week? Or have you ever been to bromo?

3. The text which is given by the teacher to the students should be authentic. Authentic means that the text is relevant with students’ life.

Interaction in detailed reading:

• Preparing before reading: teacher first tells the students what to look for, and engage students by asking question with easy to answer (what students need to know about the text), use image to promote students, and introduce the text.


• Elaboration, encourage students to bring their experience to reading, relate to students own experience, and accept all responses.

4. When making the proposal research, the first thing that should be pay attention is the title of the research. The title should focus, and not too specific.
