Ruba's lesson plan structure and execution is good in general. She has clear objectives and stages. She went over the nouns by introducing a song. Songs are popular in nowadays classes. She can also use the song at the end for kids to learn it. Her lesson was an example of direct instruction, mostly teacher-centered. The activity engaged students and made them think of other nouns. Other aspects were covered such as eye contact and voice control.Good luck with the next lesson plan Ruba.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ghady for your comments and your wish.But I would like to mention that i did not use drilling or repetition as in teacher-centered classrooms (direct instruction). On the contrary, I used games and activities that attracted students and were able to discover by themselves the definition of a noun and its three kinds.
DeleteRuba’s lesson was well organized. She started her lesson by presenting a video about nouns in order to gain students’ attention then she informed students about the objective of her lesson after that she asked a question “what is a noun” so that she guided the lesson from the students point of view. She gave positive feedback for correct answers and helps students with wrong answers to get the correct answer. She provided students with concrete and varied examples about nouns. She also increased students’ participation and engagement by playing the “noun games”; in this game all students had the chance to participate. Students were engaged in group work that helped them to share and discuss their ideas. Moreover, Ruba was confident, she had a good body language and voice and she used time effectively.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roula for your reflection on my microteaching.I think you were able to mention mostly everything. I just want to add that my approach was that of a learner-centered classroom where maximum interaction is mediated by group work.
