Literacy - Second Observation Reflection – Mileesa. 8, November 2016, Khawla - H00236669
According to my MST, there are no any problems the I faced in this lesson, but I focus on class management I work hard to manage the misbehaving students and I use different strategies to help to manage them.
During the lesson I managed to do more good things, the lesson plan, the activities the questions, “blooms taxonomy” that are connected with the outcome. I did a great thing where that was shown in the activities.The activities were on the level of students and the students understood the lesson. That all was connected with the teachers’ strategy where she followed the same activities and also the same method in teaching as a whole. Children liked the activities so much and they liked the study greatly. The strategies that I used were traffic light, stickers, using lights as a method of attention, encouraging other students to manage misbehavior students.
The lesson was successfully. And that shown the teachers and learners liked the activitiesAll that created a good environment and social life with students.
The objective that I gained was that I had the ability to stand in front of the teacher and the students to explain the lesson and also having a good cooperation with the teacher. Besides, being connected with the class and also try to connect the lesson with the planning, lesson plan to be followed, activities and also what I see that is useful for the lesson.
This is a Literacy lesson "Letter D/d" which I taught at AL Awaeel Kindergarten for KG 2 students. The important thing that I learned from my mistake is how to manage misbehave students
