2nd Writing Assignment

I support junior high school students's studying, who are not rich to pay for Juku, as a volunteer. I consider my team as a "organization," me as "leader."

Long-term vision

"New Mark" for me is teaching important thing. I was unable to decide which I should focus on, intersting thing or important thing, but I come to decide.
Some part of studying for entrance exam have to be boring because there are too many things students must remember and they can't study each things deeply. Students know only words, but they don't know what the things really are or how to use in society. For example, when I teach English, I want them to listen English songs and read lyric because I want show how English is used in the world. And I also want them to use English. There's not, however, enough time to do like that. Even if that would be interesting for them, they have to study sometheng else which is important in order to pass entrance exam.

The reason I chose 'important' be first is the goal of our organization is making them pass the exam. Even though students come to be interested in studying something, if they fail the exam, the activities of our team are regarded as 'fail'.

However, I've not given up. I still try to teach 'interesting things' when I have chance because I think the experience in the early teens is very important. It is tough job, so describing the required qualities and behaviors is difficult. The most important thing is that I have to be friendly and good at communication. If I am not friendly, Students won't be interested in what I talk and I can't both make them pass the exam and make them be interested in studying. And I also have to be good at group management in order to make our activities more efficient.

Short-Term Goals

My and our short-term goal is making students remember fundamental things, for example, the grammar and words. The problem is that it is boring to remember them. The text says "'matter-of-fact groove' can give people the sense of order they need to be productive." So I will make a structure. Students take the small exam every week and every month. That could be short-term milestones.

Focusing on staffs, we have to use technology more to do our task more efficiently. For example, Google Document is very useful to share teaching materials.
