8y4 Lesson 6

Reflection on 8y4 lesson – first lesson on The Butterfly Lion

I was pleased with the start of this lesson as it was very calm. I was worried about starting this lesson because it was a lesson where the students had to put assessed work into folders, and I had observed my mentor teach this kind of lesson and she admitted it was difficult and it is chaotic. This is another class that needs an LO to focus their attention. Last lesson I felt that I let the students behaviour slip as they were calling out without putting their hands up. I feel that I challenged this well this lesson. I am beginning to find it easier to write resources for Learning Support Groups. I tried to appeal to visual learners by including a picture activity and I kept repeating the instructions for auditory learners. I was pleased that all of the students participated in the class discussions. I wrote key words up on the board to support the students in their verbal feedback. I had some time left over so I got the students to use adjectives to effectively describe chocolate and this work well as a plenary. A target for next lesson is to have a contingency task in case I run out of tasks.
