So this morning we had
a discussion about how to make lesson plan. But we have to know about the
learning tools that used in CRPAOS. There are 10 learning tools. First, the
Consider All Factors (CAF). This tool can lead the students to think in
different angles. Second is Cause and Effect tool, that encourage students to
be more reasonable and think about the cause and effect in any topics or
situations that discuss in class. Third is Compare and Contrast, looking or the
differences or similarities of one topics. Fourth is Know Want Learned (KWL).
Know is what the students already know about a topic. Want is what the students
want to know. And Learned is what the students have learnt about a topic. Fifth
is Ranking. This tool encourage students to have more critical thinking skill.

The sixth tool is Six
Thinking Hats, consist of White (the data), Yellow (positive things), Black
(critical thinking), Green (creative thinking), Red (emotion or feelings), and
Blue (summaries) hats. The seventh is Plus Minus Interest (PMI), can be used to
review a current situation or consider a future one. The eighth is Other Point
of View (OPV) that allow students to put theirselves in others’s opinion. The
ninth and tenth is Diagram and Mind Mapping. This is the common one in
Indonesia. Students can represent their ideas and concepts in graphical way.
After learning the
tools, we learn about the activities in class. There are Do Now, Purpose, Work
Mode, and Reflection. On Do Now step, teacher can show a picture and let the
students to speak first, letting them to give opinions about a topic. Then the
Purpose step, teacher explain about the purpose of this lesson. The ability
that student can have after the lesson. On Work Mode step, students do the
tasks like creating mind map or diagram. The last step is Reflection. Teacher
ask the summaries or conclusion about the lesson.
After learning about
learning tools and activities in class, we start to make a lesson plan in the
library. We create our lesson plan and Teacher Hin correct us. We finished the
lesson plan training on 3.30 pm. Tomorrow we will observe the classes at 9 am.
Ella go to dorm
immediately because she wants to sleep. I, Rahmi, and Tias decided to go back
to Big C. We order a taxi to go there. Boom gaves us the taxi number. But we
have a trouble when ordering the taxi because the operator can’t speak english.
Then we ask the teacher to speak with the operator in Thai. We even ask our
student to speak with the driver.
The driver come and
drive us to Big C. Then we go to simcard store to fix it. After that we bought
some cosmetics and went home. We choose Tuk-Tuk for our ride back to the dorm
and that’s amazing! It feels like I’m on Ojek Bentor in Indonesia.
The Tuk-Tuk driver drop
us near the gate and we found a street foods. We walked around looking for some
food and we bought chicken wings for 10 baht and a mango for 20 baht. After
that we went back to our dorm and get some rest.
