Summary
This lesson was about formatting text in Microsoft Word to Bold, Italic, and underline.
Lesson reflection
The lesson was a very good lesson. It was active and it had a good atmosphere, which is
something necessary for fluent learning (Kyriacou, 2007) . All the students were
engaged, and wanted to learn how to format text using Microsoft Word program. In
addition, they were highly engaged with the movements were used to identify the
characters, which are bold, italic, and underline.
The stages built the students knowledge. I can say that each stage was effective, because
each stage was connected to the stage before and after it. For that, they were learning in
steps building the knowledge in steps, not all at once. For example, students in the first
were asked about what they know about Microsoft Word, then a story about three
characters that live in the Microsoft Word, which are bold, italic, and underline
(Roschelle, 1995). After that, the students were introduced to the characters, and their
magic powers. Finally, it was shown how to do the formatting in Microsoft Word, and
then they apply it by themselves. The activities were suitable for each stage, and it went
perfectly. There were lots of group activities, and movement in the class. The students
used the targeted language perfectly. Therefore, the students used the same language, I
mean the strong and weak students.
Since the lesson was about application, there was lots of feedback on the class. Giving
feedback to students is good so they will know which direction they can go on (Race &
Page, 2014). Moreover, I was correcting students who had mistaken, or didnt know how
to apply the formatting to the text. In addition, having a computer in front of each
student is something that I was worried about, because they can open games and not pay
attention to the lesson. However, the students behavior was very good, because they paid
attention to the lesson.
