At the moment year 9s are preparing for their exams. They are learning about non-fiction texts. I was observed by my mentor on 27-04-12 and we are now finely tuning my teaching. In terms of the LO I need to think about sharing it through a discussion rather than getting the students to get the students to write the LO down. I said to her that the reason why I have started getting my students to write the LO down is because I have been criticised for not communicating the LO with the students. Also, in order to quieten down the students this is a technique that I have seen used. In terms of behaviour management I need to make sure the students are in complete silence and set time limits to help them with preparation with their exams. Also, I need to make sure the students are receiving immediate feedback. Therefore, when we are sharing are work, we must comment on the WWW and EBI. I could also start a discussion as a plenary about whether or not we have fulfilled our LO. Thinking back to when I was first observing, one of the teachers that I observed used a skill based objective as well as a knowledge based objective. I could try doing this and also this could be a good discussion point.
In terms of time saving I could have produced a copy of the table and attached the LO to the sheet. My ultimate aim is too discourage passive listening and strongly encourage active listening. Also, bearing in mind that I have got a HI student in my classroom who also becoming a VI student, I need to think about making my PPT more colourful.
