Select
What standards or LOs were being addressed in the lesson?

• The standers that I am addressing in this lesson are to explain to the students how to use
the and recognize the shourt a & u sound.
How did you cater for learners with special needs, and for differentiation?

• Making sure to differentiate the activities based on student’s level’s and needs. To help
them understand the lesson better
• How did you use positive reinforcement? Methods? For what?
• In this lesson I use positive reinforcement by rewarding the students with class dojo points
and have a time to play with the computer. If a student is behaving well and participating
in the activities during the lesson, they get points and playing time.
• This method helps the students to be more motivated during the lesson and give them a
chance to think about their action.

How did you sequence or scaffold activities so that they built gradually towards the learning
objectives?

• I scaffolded the activities by demonstrate the activities for the students. Then ask different
students to repeat what they are supposed to do before I send them to do the activities in
centers by themselves.

Overall aim and context of the lesson (that is, describe the lesson’s place in the unit of work.
What did students need to know before today’s LOs were addressed? What topic comes next and
how did today’s lesson prepare students for that?)

• In this lesson the students were learning the sound short u and a and I wanted to make
sure that they know how to say the sound.
Describe
Who is the lesson for?
• Grade 2students
Where did the lesson take place?
• At Ahmed Bin Zayed school
What were you aiming to achieve in your lesson?
• The aim for this lesson is for the students to know the sounds short a ans u and to give
them some examples.
What experiences did you provide to the students to help them to achieve your aims for them?
• The experiences that I provided for the students are different Activities and was making
sure to involve the students to work together as a team.
Analyze
Were students excited, always occupied, and remained on task during the lesson?

• During the lesson the students were learning and having fun at the same time because they
were working together, and they were enjoying the activities and learning at the same time.
Why do you think the students responded the way that they did?

• The students responded the way they did because when I explained the words, they give
me example about the words. By guessing each word means. In active engagement, most
of the students were responded through rising their hand if they listen to words that have
u and a sound.
How well did your teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding?

• My teaching relates to the prior knowledge because the students already know the
sounds however they didn’t know some examples and the sound of it .

Appraise
Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective.

• I think it’s was amazing experience to teach literacy for students about sound. I felt happy
when I knew the students can give me different examples words about the short a and u
sounds and they participated very well in center activities.

Did your lesson meet your teaching goals? Use your students’ performance on the end of lesson
assessment as support (Give proof in your portfolio)
 • My lesson meets with teaching goal for this lesson. Because during and at the end of the
lesson I was assessing the students and I notice that most of the students know how to
Sound the sound a and u and they know the difference between them.
sTransform
How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future?

• I will enhance my lesson in the future by focusing in students writing to make sure they
know how to write each letter correctly without errors because when were the students
doing the activity, I will care about how they can do it correctly without focusing in their
writing. I need to spend at least 1 mints to check their writing to correct the errors while
they doing.
• The implications for my professional practice are being professional teacher to learn new
strategies to manage children behavior and focusing in differentiation to meet children
ability to help them to improve inn education.
