 Significant Situation 
My coach gave me the task of tweaking the students' syllabus for all the first year FS (Further Studies) students that I had. I asked one of my colleagues to help me out with this as it was my first time working with their schedule and their materials. We sat down together on Friday and my colleague was able to help me figure out what I was teaching, when I should teach it, and she even helped me out by showing me examples of the materials I should use during my lessons.


Reflection
I chose to ask my colleague for help, because I needed helpful insight into how to organize the planner and with what materials I should work with.

The effect was that this student thought I was too young and too childish (she didn't say this, but this was in my viewpoint implied) to be their teacher. However, I don't think that's the case at all. It was my way of getting to know one of my students. The effect of this was that I was able to work on my organizational skills, which is one of the competences I needed to work on for this internship in order to graduate.

I sent my students the syllabus and they said it was very clear. They knew exactly what to expect for each lesson, what they need to bring for each lesson and they knew when the tests, mid-terms and finals were. 
The students said I was very organized and on top of things, because I follow the schedule I made.

This was important to me, because I want to be known as a very organized and structured teacher to my students as well as my colleagues in order to be a fully-developed, professional teacher.
I value being organized as a teacher and it is something I work hard at. What this says about me as a teacher is that I value being considered organized by not only myself but also my students and colleagues.


My conclusions are that I know how to work make a syllabus on my own now, which is very important to be able to do as a teacher.

My learning aim for next week is:
-To focus on correcting the students' homework



Internship Progress
Next week I will be focusing on correcting the students' persuasive essay.
