Evaluations
The class started well with discussion and the class management was successful but I
felt that the theme does have the impact by the students that I felt. Though with the
use worksheet was successful to get when it came to assessment when it came to the
background information of the Dublin Monaghan bombings.
Due to the English teacher having went through the poem. Some students
demonstrated their knowledge to the remainder of the class. This was a good example
of peer teaching and through the key words and the facts shown through presentation.
Students developed an understanding.
Things to improve is they use of the ppt when it came to questioning and also the time
on task needs to be ridged.
With this group, I have problems receiving homework. With that I need to find a
system that will help with the intake of work I have assigned.
I felt that showing the marking scheme gave them a understanding of the criteria for
assessment and that students are set out for the future classes.
