How to cope with 'Sleepy Sickness'

As a teacher, we are not always in a good condition when teaching

there is a time when our body is not in line with our duty. I often experience with

'sleepy sickness' while teaching. I can not open up my eyes. Very, very sleepy.

I was confused what should I do to cope with this 'disease'

It is impossible to fall asleep in front of my students

I have tried many things, walking around the class, checking students progress but

it doesn't work at all

Finally,I find a solution.

I play a music, cheerful music, of course after asking permission from my students

Thank God, now I can cope with this disease

I hope other teacher can also apply this method or maybe apply another method if

this one doesn't fit them

Happy teaching :)

Gloomy ..................

Today I have two classes

for our subject today, I have assigned the students to discuss in group a description of a plant

they may choose their favourite plant and they should present the result of their discussion in

power point



In the first class, I felt excited because they were enthusiastic, spiritful, dynamic

they were able to describe their plant eventhough at the first time they didn't meet my expectation

In the second class, I found it difficult to arouse my students enthusiasm

I myself felt gloomy because at the beginning of the class they still asked for permission to look

for laptop, sample plant huh.........................

To conclude, they didn't have a good preparation

I am really dissappointed

the same phenomenon always happen when i teach parallel class with the same topic

some classes are dynamics but others are less motivated

what a gloomy day I have .................
