First class was Miss Kala's class. Her style remained the same after all these years, so it was quite amusing (at least to me) then that I was the one observing instead of being the one sitting there. Class was expectedly rowdy, what with all the discussion going in and the walking around from 'station' to 'station'. What I liked was that she had a strong rapport with the students, and they obviously listens and respects her so the entire classroom system was more of an organised chaos. Through the presentations I thought the students did quite well in trying to 'sell' their idea, and Miss Kala did ask some what you'll call ''aristolic' questions to probe their minds further, which was all good I like it.
Second class was a GEP class. Miss Huang was doing PC with them. It's hard for me to comment on the effectiveness since it's a style I adopted. Basically it was all very.. rigid. She prompted the students for their views and interpretations, but I think one problem that ginny and I identified was that she did not seem to offer any alternative interpretations to certain points in the poem. Much of the IRE is done so that her teaching points are covered. I'm not saying that this is a 'problem' per se, what with the time constraint and stuff, but it would probably be better if she had elaborated more on the analysis made, rather than just searching for the correct answer.
