into the learning. How did you use them,is there any particular approach
or strategy ?
Puan Rohaizan: Yes of course strategies are important to teach song and poetry

repeat after me.After that I let them identify words that they do not know

The time spent during my SBE 3 in Sekolah Kebangsaan Sri Suria 2 was a
memorable one. The teachers and staff there were very nice and helpful.We were also
given places to sit in the meeting room which are very convenient and nice for us to do
our work and finish the task.
For the first day, there are nothing much that we did, we went around the school
to greet the school community and arrange meetings with English teachers.Later in the
afternoon we were requested to attend a meeting regarding the PIBG that will took
place on Wednesday,we were also elected to be one of the committee members of the
meeting.The next day, we were given opportunities to replace a class, where we finally
able to meet the student and get to know them closer. We conduct a lot of activity with
them such as games,drawing and many more.Later on we had the opportunity to
observe an LGA class. It was a whole new experience for me because how the teacher
manage the class and adapt song and poetry in the teaching process.The lesson was
very good and the pupils seem to enjoy it very much.We also held an interview with the
teacher and the pupils to know their perception of using song and poetry in the
classroom.
Overall, it was an exciting and beneficial experience for me because I had learn a
lot of things on how to carry out a Language Art class.
