Reflection on Lesson taken on 15^th November, 2021.

I taught my English lesson in Class PP A. Topic that I covered on 15^th November is on article (a and an). I taught the lesson using Power Point Presentation (PPT).

Usually, the main activities of the day are done after morning circle time (greeting, writing the date, weather recognition, taking attendance and start the lesson with mind training.)

 Although it was a new concept about article. But I know the students very well. I planned my lesson according to them. With the help of ICT.I presented short video, all activities on power point presentation within short time every child could participate in group discussion and make my lesson lively.

The first activity was asking some questions about articles and watching video on articles. Based on my knowledge of the classes about the new topic that is articles I decided to let them watch short video on the very topic for two minutes very carefully. Based on the video asked them few questions

 1) What is article?

2) What are the articles?

 3) How many vowels are there, what are they? etc.

Children will watch the video on articles and identify what is articles “a and an.” If they can’t answer, they will discuss within their group member and share their ideas, gather information and help each other, ask their partners or just look at the slide shown on the white board. I instructed the activity direction to them by explaining what they were supposed to do.

Lesson activity went very efficient as there was an active and full class participation from the children side. Within a short period, almost all children could carry out the given activity individually.    Most of the children participate to answer and made the class very interesting and lively. I asked few questions, what is consonant? What are vowels? How many alphabets are there? As I run down the lesson through power point presentation. And the most interesting part of my lesson was active participation from children in the class and make the class joyful. In a way learning take places.

By reflecting the previous lesson and comment made by my colleague I have used different teaching strategy, plan as per the need of the level of children. But it is very important to have second plan at the back of our mind. If the first plan doesn’t go. The second plan works much better. In this way children learn much better and understand concept. 

Though it was good and well-organized class. But there are some rooms where we need some lights so that it will glom the blub very bright. Focusing on the short and precise instruction for Pre-Primary children (Class PP). Given instructions were clear but very lengthen for lower children. Speaking full sentences is important. Incomplete sentences may hamper the children language in future. Accepting incomplete sentences may lead to nowhere. Encourage children to speak in full sentences.
