!verall I thought my planning and preparation for my third lesson
went e9tremely well. For e9ample, my activities had good
progressions and went smoothly. *y transitions were smooth and
7uic-. Also, since the weather was supposed to be cold I planned
for as little instruction as possible so I could -eep the students
moving and warm. !ne thing I maybe could of improved on was
having each team get to play each other instead of having the same
teams play each other for the entire modified game.
&. 'esson (ontent
*y lesson content was very accurate I thought. I did a great @ob of
e9plaining the activities and the s-ill cues of each s-ill taught. An
area of improvement could be during my closure, instead of @ust
as-ing the class what types s-ills they learned, I could as- them
when would be appropriate times to use certain s-ills.
). "ransition/(lassroom *anagement
*y transitions/classroom management was a strong point of my
lesson. *y transitions were very 7uic- and smooth with minimal
waiting time so I could -eep the students moving. For my
classroom management I set up the cones to mar- the end zones for
the modified game prior to the lesson which really helped out the
smoothness of my lesson. An area of improvement could be me
having the students pic- up all the e7uipment at the end of my
lesson. For e9ample, I had the students bring in all the frisbees, but
I forgot to have them pic- up and bring in the cones.
+. (ontent Delivery
During this lesson is was e9tremely important to have strong
content delivery since we were outdoors. I feel that I did an
e9cellent @ob pro@ecting my voice and using my whistle so that all
the students could hear me. An area of improvement could be @ust
ta-ing my time during my closure and as-ing more 7uestions on
strategy instead of rushing.
,. Feedbac- given by you to the .tudents
"his was by far my best lesson when it came to giving out feedbac-
to the students. I did an e9cellent @ob going to each individual
student and either giving out positive or corrective feedbac-. For
e9ample, some students were having a hard time -eeping the frisbee
flat in the airA I would go over and tell them to -eep the frisbee flat
and have a stronger snap of the wrist. An area of improvement
could be, instead of giving out feedbac- only during one on one
occasions I could say the feedbac- out loud for the entire class to
hear.
/. Feedbac- you received from (ooperating "eacher
Feedbac- I received from my cooperating teacher was overall
e9tremely good. *s. *urray told me that my lesson went e9tremely
well and she thought that the activities were well planned out and
delivered to the class. An area of improvement could be having a
little longer time for the students to participate in the modified
game.
B. Final %aragraph
"he most important thing that I learned today during my lesson is
that as a teacher if you bring a lot of energy and a positive attitude
your students and yourself are going to en@oy the lesson much
more. "oday was my first lesson that I was able to accomplish both
those aspects and I felt so much better after my lesson. I plan to do
these two aspects during my ne9t lesson as well.
