7th and 8th Day: Holidays at Thai and Writing Pedagogical Contents

The 7th and 8th days are Saturdays and Sundays where schools dismiss the learning process in general. But there are some students who come to school for additional tutoring.

The 7th day I and my friends from Indonesia and Philippines are picked up by Mr.Potjanat to go to the tourist spot still in Surat Thani province, Thailand. The cool weather, the beautiful place and the pampering scenery slightly relax the tired body. On the 8th day, I started writing about pedagogical contents. I obtained this information after observing the teacher's mentor in the class and sometimes interviewing her. Here is information about pedagogical contents:
