Comments
Before start the lesson she prepared all the resources and
materials. Check the computer if the video will work on not
The introduction it was a short video. On the video explain what
the graph (her lesson about it) is and how use the graph. She
explains more when the video finish by use the PowerPoint.
Then she asks the students some questions to know if they
understand or not before start the activity. So, to make the
students more engaging in the lesson she ask them who like the
Pizza and who like Pasta. Most the students were answer. But
Hana take a long time on her introduction. She have to make
introduction shorter to can give the students a time to do the
activity.
She uses the video to teach the students to know what is
meaning the graph. That is a nice teaching model to can
attract student’s attention. The activity was a worksheet
they have work in group. For assessment she gives for
each student a worksheet or we can say short quiz. To
know if the students understand what they learn today.
The students were sharing with the teacher or they try to
answer. The students were interesting just in the
introduction when they saw the video. Then starting to do the
activity they were talking and some were play. I think because
the activity didn’t like it. Or they feel boring of the worksheet.
But Hana she motivate the students for who will finish the all
the work and who stay quite they will get a gift in the end the
lesson.
The activity can students finish fast. She has to manage
the classroom and give the students more interesting
activities to make them busy. The most important is do
activity for each level to can each student to learn in
different ways.
