Reflection (Completed after EVERY lesson taught)

Select (S):
Identify a lesson and what standards are you addressing
The lesson was about the Animals groups (vocabulary). In addition, in the beginning of the
lesson I introduce the lesson by showed those pictures of different Animals and learn new
vocabulary and show them the video. And each group have tasks to do for example match
the pictures with the words and. The last stage is post listing, when the students finish the
activities I cheek their works to make sure the understand the vocabulary.

Describe (D):
Who is the lesson for? The lesson for Grade 2-A for 23 boys and girls.
Where did the lesson take place? It was in the science classroom. It takes place firstly in the
carpet to introduce and explain for them the vocabulary then I send them in their groups
depend on the level. In the end of the lesson they sit in the carpet to review the vocabulary
words.
What were you trying to achieve in your lesson?
I try to achieve planning for learning by using high thinking questions KWL.
What did the students do?
They were attentive, enthusiastic and focused during we played video and show them pictures.
And in the center activities, students are excited and they were collaborators and assistants to
do their tasks because I prepare for them different materials such as, names, pictures. And
when the time is finished they sit on the carpet to evaluate them by asked them questions for
instance what mammal’s means?

Analyze (A):
Why do you think the students responded the way that they did?
Because in the beginning of the lesson I did with the student’s vocabulary words and show they
videos and pictures of Animals and they are engage and interesting. Also when I explain for each
group what they should to do in their vocabulary activities they were lesson to me and they did
great job in their activities. They all responded to me because they were enthusiastic to learn
the Animals groups vocabulary.
How well did your teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding?
In Science grade 1, the students learned about the Animals. And I did for them hand on
activities; I found that this was effective, because the students were able to use the materials
and they able to read the vocabulary even low ability students. This supports the thoughts of
Robert Marzano (2004, p1) who states that "What students already know about the content
is one of the strongest indicators of how well they will learn new information relative to
the content" (Lent, 2012).

How well did you engage the students?

The students were engaged from the beginning because they see the pictures about Animals
and the video. I believe all students felt like they could understand the vocabulary. And they
were also successful for the activities, and I found the hand on activities keep students focused.
It was so much fun to watch the students’ reactions.

Appraise (A):
Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective
Did your lesson meet your teaching goals?
I try to achieve my goal which is planning for learning and I draw in the power point the KWL
chart and I ask them questions. And I achieve my goal because only 10% of students are answers
correctly. Also, I differentiated the activities by academic level by called each group. I found
that the activities were appropriate for each level because I make a search to know new ideas of
vocabulary activities and My MST helped me by giving me what I need to make for each level,
although I had to support the low level students by translate for them the words in Arabic.
According to Ben “scaffold the learning activity from hard to medium to easy” (Johnson, 2009).
In addition, the differentiation very important for each lesson because its help me and students
to learn better. According to Catlin “Differentiated instruction excites the brilliant student to
uncover deeper layers of learning, while simultaneously structuring the curriculum to support
lower level students or students with learning disabilities- both identified and unidentified”
(Tucker, 2011). And I feel the high, middle and low groups are engaged because they showed
me their works and they did it correctly.

Transform (T):
How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future?
For my future practice, I will look for opportunities to let students come in fronts and teach
students the vocabulary. `

What are the implications for your professional practice?

I could also use exit slip. Once the lesson is complete give students paper to write
what they learn and remember about the vocabulary.
