EVALUATION & REFLECTION: How effective was the lesson?

Did the lesson go as planned? Did I organise and manage the activity well?

Did I use effective communication? Did I provide clear directions?

Did the students achieve the specific learning intentions? Were there any students that I needed to differentiate the activity for?

Student feedback:

All students wanted to present their freeze frames and were disappointed when we ran out of time which told me they enjoyed
the lesson. This meant that I need to change the plan to ensure all students had the opportunity to present for the next lesson.

Supervising Teacher feedback:

The lesson was highly engaging, however he suggested to cut the practise time down from 1 minute to 30 seconds to make more
time to perform and to create less opportunity for silliness.

Pre-service teacher evaluation: What worked well? If you were to use this lesson again, what changes would you make?

I think modelling the freeze frames when explaining the task was very effective, so the students understood and had a visual
representation of what was expected. Using the popstick method to call students out was effective so it was fair, however I will
cut down the practise time to 30 seconds to ensure everyone gets the opportunity to perform next time.

Planning for next lesson: What information did this unit provide about the future teaching/learning needs of these students?

This lesson demonstrated that the students had a good understanding of what happens in each part of the story which meant
they are ready to move on to the next part of the unit where they have to create their own story mountains.
