AAWC Lesson Reflection 1

Lesson	Literacy (Writing procedural text)	Your Name	Hafssa Saleh Al Harrasi
MST MCT	Miss. Cara Miss. Kesha	School	Shamma Bint Mohammed School
Class	4	Date	November 1, 2015

One aspect that I feel I did very well:

The most important thing that I feel I did very well is giving each group of the class one completed example of the procedural text brochure, because it’s helped a lot of students that they didn’t understand and show them what to do exactly step by step without asking, while they saw the example they understood the idea immediately. One hint I would share with other teachers is giving an example (of what they are teaching/doing) for the students to make sure that they understand, I also think this strategy will make the lesson easier and perfect.

One aspect that require attention:

I had a problem in classroom management in getting students attention, I couldn’t control all the students and let them be attention easily / focus / stop talking / listen to me and leave everything in their hand. Because the only thing that I did is talking and calling names so they can be attention, without using any of the focus classroom strategies, and that’s because my school mentor doesn’t use any of them. In the next lesson, I will use the singing strategy to get students attention like I will say: “If you’re happy and you know clap your hand!” and the students will clap their hands, they will leave everything in their hands and be attention for me so I can start teaching / talking / explaining. 

Personal focus for next lesson:

Ways to capture the student’s attention when they become off task/disengaged like:

1- Singing (If you’re happy and you know clap your hands).

2- Teacher: “class!”, students: “yes!”, teacher: “class class!”, students: “yes yes!”, teacher: “classy class!”, students: “yessy yes!”.
