(For Pre-service Teachers) LESSON: The effects of smoking on CLASS: 8:50– DATE: 15th Oct being active 9:50 am 2018 1. What I intended Students to learn during this lesson I intended for my students to learn three things during the lesson: 1. Apply: To Implement current understanding to make predictions of the experiment. 2. Analyse: To Examine the reasons why smoking effects someone being fit and active. 3. Evaluate: To Critique the predictions and results as to why you felt this way during the experiment. I also intended for my students to explore working in groups for discussions and brainstorms. The students were also to explore to practice summarising through the 66 words activity. The final lesson of this lesson was for students to understand that the reflections had to be completed as a exit ticket for recess. 2. Changes I made to the lesson plan during the lesson and why One of the changes I made to my lesson plan during the lesson was in giving the students more time to explore the straw experiment during the fitness activity. Throughout the game some students didn’t have much chance to explore the straw activity, as they were tagged straight away. I changed the lesson to give all students a fair go. Another change I made to the lesson was in doing some of 66 words together as a class, as some of the students were confused by this activity. As a class we brainstormed some of the words to give the students a clear example of what was expected of them. 3. How the Students responded to the lesson All of the students responded really well to the physical education fitness activity at the beginning of the lesson. Many of the students have a passion for sport, so I incorporated this common interest into my planning. Most of the students were engaged in the ‘predict, result, reflect’ sheet. However, some students became disengaged and began rushing through their answers. I used simple encouragement and questioning techniques to spark more in depth answers from these students. During the 66 words activity, most of the students lost their focus and I could see that many were not comprehending the activity. As soon as we become to work together as a class, this gave the students a starting point and they all finished the activity focused and engaged. 4. What I think Students learned from this lesson and how I know Most of the students demonstrated their understanding of why smoking effects how active and fit someone is. This was identified in the reflective section of the sheet completed throughout the lesson. The students use scientific vocabulary, and clear explanations of how the straw activity linked into how smoking effects how active we are. All of the students established their knowledge of how to describe how their breathing and body felt after doing exercise and breathing through either one straw or two joint straws. The students all expanded their vocabulary to explain how ‘smoking’ effected their levels of fitness. 5. What I could have done differently to improve the outcomes for Students If I were to do this lesson again, I would plan for a different fitness game to be played where every student is constantly on the move. This way, the student outcome of how out of breath and tired ‘smoking’ makes exercise, could have been experienced by everyone. Another way I would improve my lesson would be through planning to work through a few examples of the 66 words activity, before allowing the students to work on this individually. 6. What I learned from this lesson Regarding, my personal learning from this lesson, I know understand that I need to make sure I model ‘I Do’, ‘We Do’, ‘You Do’, as a way to check comprehension and facilitate learning. I also learnt to be more thoughtful in my planning for a back- up plan if things don’t follow how I wished them too. This was an importing learning experience, as even though my improvisation worked, it would have been more efficient if I had carefully planned about plan B.
