In the human life, the individual Passes through many stages. Those
stages are part of his life. That is called a periods of developments which
start from birth until death. (Santrouk, J.2004) According to my job as a
teacher, I should understand the middle childhood and adolescence
development stages. In these period of developments, the children
changes physically, cognitively and socially. From ages five to 11, the body
still grow, but without huge change on it. The children in this stage think
logically and have a concrete thought. They want to play all the time.
However, when they grow up and reach the adolescence which a period of
the life from 11- 18, they start to think in real way and know how to deal
with that. They try to find themselves and identify their ideas for others. In
addition, their body have palpable physical changes. Also, their social life
centered around their relationships and friends at variance of the middle
childhood whom think on playing all the time. (Piaget, 1952)

Interview Activity
To make the student feel comfortable to each other is important for the
teacher. As a teacher, I choose this activity to make my student be relax in
my lesson. This activity helps student to know each other and understand
each other. In addition, it helps to build relationships with each other. In
addition, it support students to shows their abilities and skills. For
example, when the student do an interview for each other, they will listen
for their interests. That may encourage them to shows their abilities
because they know that other students have the same abilities.( Neel
Burton, M.D,2012) For the teachers, it's important to make their student
feel comfortable . Because that make the student love the subject and feel
freedom to represent their ideas and thought.

That improve their

personality and make them confident about themselves. It is important for


the student at this age to develop themselves and improve their
weaknesses to build their personality to reach other levels.

Writing Activities

At this age, students wants to be perfect in everything. They think


that if they cannot do something they are loser. That make them
think in negative way about them self. I choose this activity because
it helps to improve themselves. In addition, it makes the students
think in positive way. It shows to them that anything is possible. If
they do some exercise and practice, it will be fine. That helps the
teacher a lot in many ways. The students will try to do their best to
improve themselves. In addition, that may influence their education.
That makes the student try to find a solution to their problems and
solve it. It makes pupils communicate with others who have a
solution for them and build their self-esteem. (Neel Burton, M.D,2012)
However, the teacher should be careful about this point because it
may affect the student if it ignored. For example, if the students
always thinking negatively about themselves that may affect their
personality and then their relationships. When that reach the
relationships, which is so important in this age that will effect on
their social and educational life. The teachers should help the
students to over the negative thought. This activity may help the
student and support them.
In conclusion, I have shown that adolescent is a stage in human life
when the personality is built. It is important to understand it and
know how to deal with it especially for us as teachers. At this period,
the adults passes in several stages that helps to prepare themselves
for the future. I choose these activities because I think that it helps
student to identify himself or herself and make them over the issues
that they may face.
