An Excursion to Bogor Botanic Garden

All right, everybody, I’ll tell you about this great place.

On Friday 16 March we went to Bogor Botanic Garden. We went there by bus and we arrived at that famous garden at 10 o’clock.

Arriving at the garden, we were divided into two groups. Group A followed Mrs. Nina and Group B followed Mr. Ahmad. I was in group A. Well, first we went to odd tropical plants and Mrs. Nina read us some of the information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that, we went to a little spot near the Raffles cemetery and had morning tea. Next, we did some sketching and then we met group B at the information center to have our lunch.

Soon, it was time for us to go to the orchid section while Group B did some research on flowers. Hum…A lady led us to the orchid section. Then, she explained about many kinds of Orchids.

Next, we had a look at the Indonesian orchid. Wow, we saw many kinds of Indonesian orchids. They were all beautiful. Later, we took a look at the American, European and Asian orchid’s section. I was interesting. Soon after we had finished our observations, we went back outside and met group B. Then, we got on the bus and returned to school. We really enjoyed the trip and to Bogor Botanic Garden.

Student# : 081214087

Reflection# : 2

Date : March 7, 2011

In the second meeting I knew and learned something new that I have not known before. That’s all about general ability of teaching for teacher in a classroom. First, teacher should master the material that she/he wants to teach. The goal of this ability is to avoid misconception or misunderstanding concept will be taught by the teachers. Another goal is to make teachers are not accustom to hand book. It means when teachers are teaching something in front of the class, they do not depend on their hand book, so they pay attention to their student.

Second ability is that teachers should be attention to their personality. Their clothes must be tidy. They must not wear over clothes and accessories. They also should look like friendly to students, enthusiastic, and energetic.

Third ability is that teachers can build relationship with others or students. It’s all about class management. It means that teachers should be attention the time management. Teachers should manage learning process in efficient time when it is happening. Another is that teachers should manage situation and condition inside the classroom. Teachers should try to create a good atmosphere inside the classroom so that students can enjoy the class.

Besides the ability, I also learned the part of teaching. First is to open the lesson. In this opening, teacher can greet the students, begin with a pray, recall the last material, etc. Second is main teaching. In this part, teacher explains what the material will be taught. For the further understanding, teacher gives students tasks to do or asking questions. At the last, students will answer the question and teacher responds it. The third and the last are to close the lesson. Here, teacher concludes what students have learned for that day, greet the students and close the lesson with praying.

I think that is a good thing that I know. All the points above are important to me if I want to be a good teacher
