Reflection WWW/EBI

The lesson was a procedural text of how to plant a sunflower. The explanation was perfect the
student understood the steps and they were able to do the activities easily. And for me the
transition was good and the planting activity because the students enjoyed it and it support their
understanding of the steps. For the next lesson it will be better if I had extra activities as my MCT
said but my MST said that student will have a trip, so I only have 30 minutes to complete my
lesson. And for the student it will better if I mix up the student with different levels, so they can work
and help each other.
Behaviour management

Student were in good behavior, but they should be quite in next lesson so they all can focused and
pay attention. The transitions were amazing to manage student’s behavior but in next time it
shouldn’t be a song because they will start dancing.
Groupings/differentiation

I grouped the student into four groups. Two groups we low level student and they had a simple
activity that helps them to read. And the other two groups were mixed average and high-level
student and they had a writing activity but also, they should read.
Next Steps in learning and teaching

In the next step the teacher should practice the bossy verbs and how to write the text and when to
use the verbs. Then the student can copy from the board to be sure that they understood the verb
and how to use them. After that in the next lesson the student can try to write the steps alone.
According to Bruner’s method of Inquiry-Based Instruction. This popular theory encourages
learners to build on past experiences and knowledge (Pappas, 2014). Also, he believed that
“learning is not transmitted but it is constructed by the student.” (Kalokyri,2016).
