Tour in Cha-am, Thailand ! (Day 1)

Yesterday, I spent my weekend in Cha-am, it's about 45 minutes from Phetchaburi if you went there by motorcycle or car. The first place that I visited was the place of the elephants' refuge. The place was provided a tour to see around and also the elephant, but the problem was, we didin't want to take a tour, we just want to see and took a picture with the elephant. We went there and talked to the keeper which was literally a foreign people. We and our companions (May & Bet) tried to talk to them that we didin't need a tour, but the keeper kept on saying that they only provided tour, and we have to pay about 1,000 baht for a tour. It was too expensive for us. But, finally after talked to the other keeper, they let us to see the elephant and feed them ! But just for a while.
The next destination was a temple near the elephant refuge, it was a nice and clean temple, I'm not sure about the name, it might be "Khao Luk Chang" and there was a sleeping Buddha. We took some pictures there and the continue our trip.


The next station was in Chang-Hua-Mun Royal Initiative Project. I always amazed with everything that supported by the Thai government, and one of them was this place. This place was developed to educate Thai people how to live in a dryland, taught them about agriculture and also economy. But, some of the visitors also doing camping on that place. 
There was a bus which took us around and telling us about the place and plants, but they explained it in Thai language, so we didn't understand. There was also the king house in the centre of the royal project.




We took a rest and went to the mosque to pray. After that, we went to the Khaeng Krachan Dam.


This bridge reminded me of a movie entitled "First Love" it was a Thai movie that I saw a few years ago.

1.1      Planning for teaching Every teacher has their own way of teaching, but curriculum, syllabus, teaching plan and handbook are their guidance to teach the students in the classroom. Teaching schedule has been made, so every teacher has known their time to teach and of course they prepare their teaching material before the class. Based on my observation, the planning for teaching has been made by each of the teacher, the one that might be changed just the topic of the material. 1.2      Preparing Lessons and Materials In preparing the lesson and the materials for the students, I saw some teachers are providing their material for the students a day before or a few hours before they teach the students. For example, they went to the photocopy machine to make a copy of students paper activity and also some materials that are going to be taught to the students in the class. A teacher told me that she also try to find some other resources related to the students’ mater

1.     Teaching Methods If you take a look on every teaching methods that teachers do, you will see the differences. Let’s just say that there are teacher A, B, and C and all of them will have schedule to teach the same level in different time. Let’s start with teacher A, I can say that this kind of teacher is a kind of normal teacher where they will open the class just as usual and then tell the students about what are they going to do in the classroom today. We can say that as a “speech” method. But, the combination between “speech” and “grouping” or “work in team” will make the lesson more interactive. Teacher A combine the methods and gives the students more time to do excercise rather than focus on giving the material to students by speech. Teacher B has a quite similar method with teacher B, but the difference is that the first teacher or teacher A combining it with grouping the students to do the task, meanwhile, teacher B purely do “speech” until the end of the class an

1.1       Procedures of Teaching Just after entering the school, the director and my advisor help me a lot to make a schedule for me, for my observation, being teacher assistant and of course to teach the students. Both of the director and my advisor have a great work, and also my buddies in this school, so I can understand what should I do and what should I teach to the students. They provide me a schedule to see what time that I will have a chance to observe, being the teacher assistent and when to teach the students in the classroom. Based on that schedule, I can prepare myself for my teaching activity. Students' handbook Classroom facilities I always ask my buddies and also my advisor about what I’m going to do in the classroom, what kind of material that they usually teach to the students and I will make an appropriate material to the students. My advisor and may buddies usually help me to build or to create my lesson plan, they show me the handbook
