My Reflection on Lesson planning

 

I carried out a Moral Education lesson delivery at Animmwarao JSS for year 7 Students. Part of my preparation for that lesson delivery was to create my own scheme of work and lesson plan. It was a bit hard for me to create my own scheme of work because I had to work with the syllabus or curriculum, and those were new for me to do. I am not familiar with creating my learning outcomes for my scheme of work and am unable to unpack my learning outcomes for my lesson plan. However, I had to seek help from other teachers who are more familiar with these. Refer to Appendix 1 to see the syllabus, teacher’s guide which I used when creating my Moral Education scheme of work, and lesson plan.  After accomplishing my scheme of work and lesson plan I learned ways how to use the syllabus to choose learning outcomes for the weeks and days of my scheme of work. I realized that Bloom’s taxonomy table was helpful in unpacking my lesson objectives refer to Appendix 2 to see Bloom’s taxonomy table that I applied in unpacking my lesson objectives.

 

In my lesson plan, I include a plan for using affordable and available resources refer to Appendix 3 to see the teaching aids that I used during my lesson delivery. It was fun for me to create teaching resources that are affordable and available because that is part of being a creative teacher to the students. I noticed that when using those kinds of resources my students were very interested in the lesson and they stayed in class until it was over. My teacher gave me feedback refers to Appendix 4 and we managed to have a small conversation where she told me about some interventions on how to overcome weaknesses that I encountered during my lesson delivery. My associate teacher told me that I need to create more group work activities and marking rubrics for students to use in that session. I learned from my mistakes and also feel grateful for some strength that I get from my lesson delivery.

Also, in my lesson plan, I included strategies that will allow students in my class to ask plenty of questions. I was kind of having inquiry-based teaching. I saw that the lesson plan I used was successful in making students ask different questions related to the topic that we discussed during that day. I used the KWL chart, and it was interesting for the students. Firstly, I write the topic on the board and students read the topic (Discrimination and violence against women). Then after that, I told them "What do you want to know about this topic?" a lot of students gave me answers such as I want to know the meaning of discrimination and violence. I want to know why violence is a problem for our women. I want to know the impacts of violence; I want to know how to stop violations and discrimination. There were lots of questions that my students want to know and for me to make sure that I answer their questions, I recorded their questions by writing those questions that they gave me under the K on the KWL chart. We were having a class filled with inquiries and those inquiries from the students makes them explore their lesson by questioning and then finding lots of answers to their questions.
