Material from Yudi and Ayu Mirawati

October 20th, 2014

In that evening, Yudi continued his material one week ago. The material was about jigsaw. The most strategy that I ever heard before. Before continued the presentation, as usual that day began with praying together in the class.

Then, Yudi shared us, that

Jigsaw is a strategy that helps students to:

—- Critically analyze, evaluate and apply ideas from a large amount of information.

—- Participate and cooperate in small groups.

—- Accept responsibility for their own learning.

Yudi also told us about 'Home Groups' and 'Expert Group'. I think home groups here means that the first group that every member of the group got one number. Then the home groups become expert groups, after the same number is met, and discuss the same material with the expert groups. After that , expert groups back to the home groups, and shared the material that already discussed with the expert groups before. The material that Yudi ( as a teacher ) gave to us ( as the students ) was about disaster.

Second presenter in that evening was Ayu Mirawati. Actually, that was the chance for Arya Dwipayana to do the presentation, but he did not come at that time. Ayu Mirawati still in Tuning In Strategies, and the categories are streamline, survey, and viewing.

1. Streamline. 

Stream line is a strategy that will help students to locate current and relevant information on health and safety issues. Here, Ayu Mirawati as a teacher gave us ( as the students ) the issue about water. Ayu Mirawati did such kind of brainstorm. Ayu asked the students to read the text and asked some questions to the students after finished to read.

2. Surveys.

This strategy will help students to develop open-ended questions for a specific target group and analyze survey responses.

žpresent information in a range of formats. Ayu told us about how to make a diagram based on the survey.

  In surveys strategy, Ayu as a teacher asked the students to ask all of the students in the classroom, what they like to do. Based on the survey, Ayu then asked the students to write that survey on the diagram or something like that.

3. Viewing.

Ayu shared us that viewing strategy will help student to gather information and obtain different perspectives on an issue by viewing and analyzing a range of film, television or print materials.

After finished to share the material, Ayu open the questions session. The questions was come from Yuni and Diah.

I as my self also want to ask Ayu about the surveys. I think, the demonstrated are slightly deviate. Because, Ayu only asked the students to write a diagram or something like that. It was same like she ignored the four skills, like reading, listening, writing, and speaking. It more focused about how to draw something in the English lesson.
