Material from Ratnasari and Diah Indraswari

On 29 December 2014, the presentation was from Ratna and Diah. They were presented the material about Speaking Out Strategies. Speaking Out Strategies consist of some strategy, they are Chook House Strategy, Health Promotions, Think-Pair-Share, Toss a die, and Vox Pop Interviews. Before they start the presentation, as usual the presenter began the presentation by praying together. Then, they were introduced their partner one by one.
First speaker was Diah Indraswari. First strategy that she explained was chook house. In chook house she told us that the special character of this strategy is the house that like a chickens' house. That place is used to share students' opinion about the given issues or problem. Diah asked us to be students is Senior High School in First Grade. She asked us to prepare one piece of paper. That paper  was to write down the opinion about the given topic or issue. The topic was about abortion. Diah read an article about the topic and asked us to write down what the impact or effect in the health if someone did the abortion. After all the students finished to write down their opinion about the topic, then Diah invited all of the participant to share the opinion each other in front of the class in the designity area that called Chook House. After that, we were allowed to sit down, then Diah invited some students to share the opinion in front of the class. Then she gave us conclusion about the topic and our opinion.
The second strategy that Diah presented was Health Promotions. In this strategy Diah invited us to be students in Second Grade of Senior High School. Then, Diah asked us to make our groups that consist of two to three students. The students have to discuss with their group about the given topic. The topic was about smoking. Diah also asked us to draw one picture that consist of the inhibitions about smoking. Finally, Diah invited maybe one of the group to share their opinion and to explain the picture that they had draw in front of the class.
The third strategy was Think-Pair-Share Strategy. In this strategy, Diah invited us to be students in Senior High School in Second Grade. Then, she gave us one topic about alcohol. After that, Diah asked us to make a group in pair to discuss the topic. After we had done to discuss the topic in pair, then Diah invited maybe one or two groups to share the opinion with the partner in front of the class. Diah then gave us the conclusion.
The forth strategy that presented by Nana was Toss a die. In this strategy, Nana asked us to be students in Junior High School of Second Grade. She divided us to make groups that consist of five students. Then, Nana gave us two sheet of papers. One paper consist of exposure of the topic, one other consist of seven questions that related to the exposure of the topic. Besides that, she gave every groups one die or we usually called it "dadu" in Indonesian. Nana gave us some minutes to read and answer the questions. After the students finished to answer the questions, then Nana asked every groups to toss that die. That group must share their answer to the other groups based on what number that the die was seen. The discussion was stopped when all of the questions had been answered by the students except the last question or the question number seven.
The last strategy was Vox Pop Interviews. Vox Pop Interviews is interview someone in informally. In this strategy, Nana invited us to be students is Junior High School in Second Grade. In this strategy, Nana only invited two volunteers, they were Yudi and Satria. Yudi and Satria already got their dialogue from Nana. So, they just read that text in interview session.
I think their presentation was good. I just was to comment about Diah's topic. I think  those topic are already used in previous presentation. It is possible if Diah use different topic, because I think the participant will be bored if they always found same topic in every presentation. From Nana's presentation, I just want to comment the last topic that used in the last strategy. I think that topic is to difficult if we are teaching in Junior High School. In my opinion, it will be better if we only interview his/her family.
I think that's all about today's diary. See you next time in the last presentation. Byeee :)
