Question Type
Yes, I believe my questions were clearly structured and
understood by students, although when I asked a question I
had to expand on the question a bit more to get more of a
accurate response from my students as the classes I
undertook were all modified students. I was very confident
when doing my whole classroom lesson, however my teacher
did not give me a chance to teach a small group. I taught my
lesson to year 9 classes. I prepared for my lesson all week and
I succeeded successfully.

particular point, however I also used open questions to
encourage the discussion with the students and receive a
variety of responses from them. However the questions I
constructed had no right or wrong answer as it depended on
their person opinion to help me do a whole class copy change
poem. The questions require both abstract and concrete
thinking to receive a more appropriate response. I took good
use of my factual questions with my group as I asked them
recall with their own sentence on what adjective noun is. This
technique helped me get a wide range of answers from the
students and helped me understand their understanding of
that particular word.

students.
Using a wide range of different questions whilst teaching
your students a lesson is very important as it encourages the
to think creatively and critically. However different type of
questions opens a variety of responses from your learners. It
also challenges students ability as we want out learners to
make judgements, inference of particular thing whilst it
being demonstrating it in the classroom and it challenges
students thinking and imagination. During my lesson I made
sure I used a wide variety of questions to make sure my
students think critically and learn what I am trying teach.

No, the student did not know what was expected from them
as I was introducing how to do a copy change poem for the
very first time, however my students previously did poems
in the past. I taught my students the task very successfully
and they now know what a copy change poem is.
Yes, there was this one student that kept laughing at the
students response and did not want to participate when it
was his turn and I told him off in a nice manner and he
stopped and when he repeated it my mentor told him off and
he was paying attention throughout the lesson.
