Week 4...Coriolis Effect

26th September, 2017

Reflection:
                                                   The  Circulation!

Today's  class was yet another interesting one, it began with a trip down to memory lain. Even thought it was a good activity to begin the class, not all the time students are willing to work along. Personal I thought it was stimulating, in that it helped me to recalled quickly and surprisingly I had executed well. Even thought I'm sometimes overwhelm within the class; both mentally and physically drained, I often try to push myself because I also see my potentials, while functioning sometimes at my worst!
In today's class, I've seen how us as prospective teachers, we tend to often limit and deprive yourself as to pushing and striving for nothing but excellence.


Yes, the cycle of continuous learning is frequently occurring, but hey, I (prospective teacher) took up mantle to become one of society's elected, to mold and shaped the future generation. My point is, regardless of how I feel within the classroom, at the end, it all relies on me to make the difference.







Furthermore, class was well parked!
 Content and Activities on the Coriolis Effect. I must admit at the began of the topic I was well focus and driven. However during the lecture, at one point I began to get confused.😩 Fortunately at the end of the class,my peers were able to assist me in catching up. Thank God for Great group members.😇
 Some where in between I had experience an "Aha moment" in comprehending how the processes of the Coriolis Effect actually  functions and Hurricanes . This I was very appreciated of.
Also it has come a norm for us, to be presenting at ever class, which is great for us to exercise our presentation skills and improve in areas where necessary! Don't get me wrong, I acknowledge and appreciated how our instructors sees us and truly strives to seek our best potentials in and out of the classroom, however this is really overwhelming at times for some of us!  Sometimes I find this challenging for me, especially on mornings, went I haven't had breath-fast, this sometimes makes me uncomfortable to function.

I Sincerely have a passion for Geography! This course thus far has reminded me as to why. (Fascinating and Driven)
I enjoy and appreciated  the content, teaching strategies and activities being conducted within the classroom both from instructor and peers. I has help me to development in specific area (Preparations, Questioning skills and Attitude as a Prospective teacher).

  4. Thanks for sharing Merissa.

    An important rationale for having you write these self-reflective blogs is to help you make sense of who you are as a student and who you are becoming as a teacher. You are doing a good job of identifying key issues, but I want you to think more deeply about the changes you can make, for example, to feel less overwhelmed, or less confused. How can you ensure that you start the class ready to function on time? These are key issues that you will have to face as a teacher. Solving them requires thought. This blog allows you to space to think and write about changes you can make. Continue to use the rubric as a guide to shape your writing.

    I also noticed that your blogs had great titles. Well done!
