Planning for Learning

planning for lessons. How did
your MST go about this? How
did you plan to ensure you
worked within the curriculum?

2. What did you learn about

planning during the practicum?

4. Explain how you planned for
teaching speaking and
listening.

1- I sat with the teacher, she showed me th

next concept they will be teaching the
next day, she explained to me the
traditional way she teaches it, and then I
told her my ideas of the way I want to
teach it, sometimes she gave the green
light to do it, but sometimes she said tha
it might be not suitable for the children.
Also I discussed with her about the
students levels and the appropriate
activities for them.

2- I learned that the lesson plans should not

be complex and the activities should be
suitable for all the students.
3- The challenge I faced was preparing 3
activities for the 3 levels, because they
usually have one focus group table,
where the teacher assess their learning,
for example the teacher pick up 5
students, she asks them to write the
letter p on the whiteboard. And the rest
of the students play in the corner. But
Children are not used to this routine.
4- For speaking I ask them questions to
make them talk and express them self.
For listing, I read the story twice, and
then ask them questions.
