I used the picture of animals to teach about the name of animal. This is a realia media. I used this media for the first grade students of Junior High  School. I used those pictures because those picture are the contextual pictures (realia). They can find those real animals in their environment. Therefore, for the realia media, I teach about animals.
I show them one by one of the animal pictures and I write down the name of its animal on the white board. After I write all of their name, I teach them how to pronounce it. Then, I will randomize the pictures and ask them one by one to mention its name and make one sentence using its animal, so that they can automatically memorize it.

I made house’s miniature. This miniature is made by myself using sticks. I will teach about description text for the first grade students of Senior High School. I ask the students to make a description text using this miniature. Before I ask them to make it in one paragraph, I provide some vocabularies that they do not know and write it on the white board. After that, I ask them to read in front of the class one by one voluntarily so that all of his/her classmate can listen to his/her description.  Also, I made it colorful so that can attract their interest.
