PEER OBSERVATION: AREA OF FOCUS
Observed Strengths:
The driving question helped to motivate
the students to know the information of
the lesson.
Puzzle game is good enough to engage
the students to know what the lesson will
be about.
The teacher used objects to model the
moon and the sun to help the students
learn with observing how it's related to

their favorite treat (Oreo) to model the

Name of Student Teacher to be observed:
Latefa Waheeb
Grade: 1D
Name of Observer/Critical Friend:
Aisha Ahmed Yahya
Suggestions for further development:
It will be better in the engage part
to revise the previous lesson the
teacher can activate the students
prior knowledge so the students
can learn the new information
easier.
I think in the explore part if the
teacher incorporate some questions
that develop the students curiosity
they will enjoy the lesson more.
In the last part of the lesson, it will
be better if you asked few
questions to summarize the main
points so the students can
remember it more.
they are expected to do.

It was good idea to make the students

evaluate each other so they can be aware
of their and others fault.

Reflection:

Latifa has a great activities ideas that make the students enjoy the lesson and she gives
clear instruction.
