Context of the lesson

Its going to be a continuous lesson about describing the animal.
Teaching goal
The overall aim of the lesson is to see if students are able to describe and discuss their animals.
Learning objectives
-

Students will be able to:

Use adjectives to describe their pet.

Use a thesaurus in order to find more interesting vocabulary while they are describing their pet.
Discuss and describe their pet for their partners.

Assumptions about prior learning

Most of the children will be able to use the thesaureus to find more interesting vocabulary to describe their pet, but I
think some children will struggle while they are searching for the words.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions
To help children who can not find words with a word bank.
Personal focus for this lesson
I will try to make my voice louder.
Target language
Descrbing words, huge, tiny, frightening...

Teacher language
Good morning student, how are you? Listen carefully.
Who can help me to describe the pet for me? Raise your
hand if you want to answer. Use the thesaureus. I will wait
till you are ready.

Summary

Read the story with the students and ask them if they remember the story events, then she did
the activities well and explained them step by step so students wont get confused, and she went
to each group and helped when they need something.

Suggestions

Activities were appropriate in order to achieve learning objectives but she must make sure

all are on task

Noora always consulted me when planning and also acted positively on advice given. I feel
she could have taken more ownership on making resources to support the children

She planned for a range of student-centered interaction patterns and managed pair work,
group work, individual and whole class but at times lack confidence.

Personal Focus for next lesson

Try to do strategies to manage the students.
