Name of School: Khatt School

Mentoring College Teacher: Dr. Cara Weston

Competency A – Professionalism and Understanding:

Juwaher provided clear direction to the students through the lesson

and demonstrated consistency in her approach. She was calm, warm
and encouraging - the girls were attentive to her throughout.

Category B – Planning for Learning:

Juwaher provided several versions of her lesson plan as she reviewed

it in more detail and reconsidered the content. Her lesson included a
range of small and large group activities. In this class, she utilized
the classroom space effectively - students found partners during the
question task, and then joined Juwaher at the front of the room dur-
ing the review of the questions.

Category C – Implementing and Managing Learning:

Juwaher had the groups at their tables working on varied tasks related to
the days of the week - **interesting warm up and review activity!

T: “Can you stand up? Deep breath and down….sit down. Are you ready?”
“Here we have a story…Haya and Khalid. They do a lot of things…”. Point-
ing to powerpoint slide with characters and activities. Juwaher spoke
about the slide, describing various visuals.

T: “What do you like to do?” Various students responded. **Students could

be prompted to respond in full sentences rather than just short phrases.

T: “Sometimes Haha and Khalid forget to do their jobs? Who can give me a
solution?” St. offered ideas of how the characters could become organized.
Examples of daily activities were shown on the slide - “On Sunday, Haya is
playing tennis….” **For this type of calendar, using the past tense would be
appropriate, or the simple present tense - rather than the continuous
tense.

T: “For this, we can make a calendar.” Explaining the definition of calen-

dar using the right side board.

St. were given various questions related to the projection showing the
characters and activities. **Fun that the questions were under the tables
and that the st. had to find them.

St. were instructed to ask their questions to st. on the other side of the
classroom and use the projection at the front to respond. **Actually, st.
matched their questions by finding the other st. with the appropriate an-
swer card. They then went to the front to share their answers with the T.
**Good that they came to the front to sit during this question review.
Juwaher made a point of writing the sentences to the left of the board
which reinforced the spelling and structure of the answer sentences.

Category D – Monitoring and Assessment of Learning:

St. worked on their own calendars - using the same verb phrases displayed in
the original calendar, including ‘reading books’, ‘playing tennis’, etc. They
were instructed to either include these for their own calendars or use new
phrases.

**At this point, it would be useful to brainstorm ideas for alternative activities,
with Juwaher writing them on the board - to the left of the projection. This
would add variety and individualize the activity more - additional sports and
leisure activities could be added to the ones already provided.

St. in groups were then given a large A3 sheet divided into a table to create
their own written calendars according to the days of the week. The names of
students were written vertically while activities were included along the hori-
zontal access.

One group was rewarded with stars for completing the activity quickly. **Best
to first check the work before rewarding. Although an emphasis on speed can
keep the lesson on track, a high quality of work should be the goal.

St. were then asked to take one paper from the basket - the task was to write
two questions and two answers related to their personal calendars.

**Since this class is quite advanced and very motivated, it may have been pos-
sible to have reduced the time taken for the previous question matching activi-
ty with the partners. The students very quickly understood the sentence struc-
ture from the original calendar.

Strengths of the Lesson:

This lesson included an interesting range of creative partner, small group

and whole class activities focused on expressions related to planned activi-
ties.

Areas for Development:

Consider whether the key phrases were assimilated quickly by the group
and therefore could have been expanded or altered to create a more chal-
lenging evaluation activity at the end of the lesson.

Focus for next lesson:

As per my comments above.
