Introduce the PDP setting:

In this semester I went to Al Taqadum primary school, it’s a girl school that located in Al
Shamkha. I taught grade 5 students with Ms. Marlene, and she teach one subject only
which is Science. I taught 5 sections of grade 5, and the students are divided based on
their level of English. Sections C and D are the high class, A and E are the middle class
and B is low class.

Goal 1:
Using higher order skills when
doing activates for the high class.
Action 1:
Before I do the lesson plan, I will
search for higher order skills to
see what kind of activity I can do.
Also, I will ask my MST about kind
of activities that challenge the
students but at the same time
they like it.
Desired time
frame:
I will apply the goal in week 5 of
teaching practice, which will be
from date Oct 28 th – Nov 1 st .

Before I do the lesson, I will ask
my MST about her opinion of the
activity.

lesson observation, and also my
reflection on the lesson.
Reflections & actuality
I think the higher class can do
more than the other class do,
for example they could write
sentences describing the topic
they learn. So, I think the higher
class should have activities that
allow them to think
independently, create by them
self and write sentences to
describe their work.
I think using internet to find
ideas will help to improve my
lessons since I can find different
ideas from different teachers all
around the world. And asking
my MST is a good idea, because
she have more experience than
me in teaching, and she know
the kind of activities that will
work better.
I will set a specific time for
achieving this goal. “Every goal
needs a target date, so that you
have a deadline to focus on and
something to work toward”
(James Manktelow, n.d.). I
planned to use brusher as a
higher order thinking activity
and I choose the lesson that I
will use this activity for, so that
why I choose to do it in week 5.
Before doing any lesson, I have
to make sure that my MST
agree with the activity or give
me some comments to improve
it. Because, she has experience
in teaching, she can tell if the
students will be able to do the
activity, or she can give me
some recommendation about
how I can improve it.
Using different kind of
evidence will help me to
approve that I achieved the
goal. “Data collection instead
allows them to stay on top of
trends, provide answers to
problems, and analyze new
insights to great effect” (What

Goal 2:
Using differentiation strategies in
the class.
Action 2:
Firstly, I will take notes of what
kind of activities that the students
interest in. Secondly, I will try
some kind of activities, before
doing the differentiation lesson.
Desired time
frame:
I will set a specific time to
achieve the goal. I will try it in the
last week of my teaching practice,
which will be from Nov 4 th - Nov
8 th .
Any support
needed
I will take the comments from
each observation about the
activities to see what I need to
improve. Also, I will observe my
MST.

is data, and why is it important?
, 2018).
I think some students prefer
using visual learning style while
the other preferer using kinetic
learning style, so that why I set
a goal to use differentiation
strategy in the class. “The idea
of learning styles emphasizes
that individuals learn differently
and prefer to be taught
differently” (Baderaddin
Mahmood Yassin[a] &
Almasri[b], 2014).
Taking notes will help me to
know the students learning
style, and it will be easier for
me then to create the activity. I
think trying some activities will
give me some idea about what
make students active and
interest in the lesson.
I choose to do the
differentiation lesson in the last
week because I will have
enough time to take notes
about their learning style and
the kind of activity the students
interest in it. Also, I can try
different kind of activities in the
lesson.
Improving each weakness will
help me to do a better lesson
and better activities. Also,
observing my MST and taking
notes of her lesson will help be
to get ideas from her lesson.
And, it will help be to see how
the lessons goes and how I can
improve it, to avoid the
mistakes in my lessons.
The most important evidence is
the students work, because it
will show if the students are
able to do the activities. Also,
the students work can approve
if the activities match their
level or not.
