Hi Naazreen

Well done an excellent response to the assignment. J You designed an interesting

lesson that was engaging and relevant to you participants. I’ve provided more
detailed comments below, which will hopefully be of use to you.

Excellent project overview – detailed and comprehensive and meets all

requirements. Well done. J

Very good selection of peer referenced sources, these directly align with your lesson
and chosen methods and links are included. Your literature review is comprehensive
and detailed – well done. Providing recommendations on use of the methods
specifically in relation to your own project would further strengthen your response
here.

Your rationale is clear and well argued with strong links to the literature, content
and learner characteristic. Good effort.

Your lesson plan is very detailed and comprehensive and aligns well with the DI
approach. Well done. J Evaluations very well designed, comprehensive and
directly align with your instructional methods.

Overall a very good critical reflection of the lesson. You made some excellent
personal insights based on sound observations and feedback from your participants.
Great job. Including and explanation of ‘where to from here’ – your next steps for
continued professional learning in the area of instruction, e.g. professional
development, working with peers, books, courses etc, would strengthen the
response.

APA check required – page numbers only needed for direct quotes for in-text
citations and second line of reference list should be indented in APA style

Overall an excellent response to the practicum. I learnt lot too – I’ll definitely be
checking my ‘springy feet’ when running from now on! J

Best wishes for your future practice Naazreen, it has been an absolute pleasure to
get to know and work with you over the semester.

Kind Regards

Becky J
