Reflection on 'To My Brother' lesson

·         I had to make changes to my lesson objective, as it was far to board – I changed it to: to begin to understand the position of women during WW1.

·         I need to relook at my proposed homework question as including the term industrial could confuse the students.

·         The students knew less than I thought they did about the position of women during WW1.

·         I felt that I didn’t explain the rotation of images task very well.

·         The main part of the lesson worked well, but I was left feeling like I had nothing to do.

·         The small tasks kept the students engaged.

·         The use of the rotating images task was particularly appealing to visual learners.

·         I have got to learn to use verbal feedback effectively. I must only use the word brilliant, when something is truly brilliant.

·         The group work got the students moving around.

·         The observer and I have decided to introduce the poetry framework for the lesson I am being formally observed in, as this will structure independent learning.

·         The links to Journey’s End and Birdsong allowed the students to see a link between the drama, novel and the poetry.

·         For next lesson I need to make closer links between the lesson objectives and the lesson outcomes.
