Reflection on the practice week
I arrived on Sunday to Ruppin school, to the same mentor teacher and classes. However, this time it felt different since I knew I would be there for the whole week. I prepared four lessons for two levels of pupils in 7th grade. The pupils in the first group are non- readers, on the other hand, the pupils in the second group are very good pupils and some of them are English native speakers. In addition, as part of a unique project which I take part this year, I prepared another lesson with one of the students in my school, Keren.
As part of Matach shared education project, the students from the Arab institute came to Ruppin school on Sunday. They taught two lessons in 8th grade and I observed one of them. At …show more content…

It was my first lesson with this group of pupils. The topic of the lesson was listening comprehension. I taught three short stories from the pupil's books and did a listening activity. At the beginning of the lesson I asked the pupils to look at the pictures in their books and explain what is the situation in each episode. Then, I asked them to read the sentences of each story and number them based on their own assumptions. Afterwards, I asked the pupils to listen to the stories and check their answers. At the end of the lesson, I asked the pupils to listen to the stories again and complete an exercise in their workbook. When they finished I checked it and finished the lesson.
Galit didn’t come to school on Monday and as a result I taught alone. I had some concerns regarding classroom management before the lesson; however, in general, the pupils listened to me, cooperated and I think that I achieved the main purpose of the lesson. In the other lessons I observed another English teacher at school, Amna. In one of her lessons she asked her pupils to write letters to the pupils in Tira. It was a very nice lesson, I could see that the pupils interested in the project, they asked me some questions about it and shared with me their

    My class is extremely creative, but not productive. It took new teachers an average of a couple months to discover our creativity an. Since then, teachers have been creating activities that express our individuality and uniqueness. These activities include the essay for Mrs. Hansen’s an idiot week. For this assignment, each of us were given the chance to teach our teacher, Mrs. Hansen, how to do something. Over the years, most teachers develop special bonds with their students. For example, I was offered the opportunity to take Algebra I over the summer by my math teacher from the previous year. He had realized that I enjoyed being challenged with new topics while maintaining a good grade. As a result he offered me a proposition. This proposition was to complete the pre-algebra course book in addition to small meetings over the summer to make sure that I understood the lessons. I spent the whole summer completing the lessons in the book. This April, I was able to take the challenge test for Algebra I and succeeded. Next year, I will be taking Geometry at Archbishop Mitty High School. A Saint Lucy student is willing to attempt challenges to gain a better understanding, but also able to help others comprehend and practice the

    Overall, my lessons were well thought out and planned, as I had worked hard on them, but implementation did not always go as planned. There were multiple behavior issues that we had to work through as a group, as well as individually. This is a major problem in the class every day with behavior and we are still working on this. During my unit, however, I noticed that most of the students understood the material while we were working on activities in the class. They were able to complete the assignments with 90%

    When I first walked into Mrs. G’s English classroom, I had mixed emotions. I was eager to be there and I’m glad I was provided with an opportunity to interact with students and the teacher before class started. It felt lovely to be greeted by Mrs. G. with a good morning and small greeting. There are approximately 24 students and I did my best to count them as fast I could without making it uncomfortable for the scholars. Approximately, there are 13 boys and 11 girls with only 1 teacher. The classroom at El Sausal Middle School had a multicolored and untidy setting. When I say “untidy,” I mean that the desks, the materials and the equipment felt older and that they had been thro...

    It was finally the first day of school; I was excited yet nervous. I hoped I would be able to make new friends. The first time I saw the schools name I thought it was the strangest name I’ve ever heard or read, therefore I found it hard to pronounce it in the beginning. The schools’ floors had painted black paw prints, which stood out on the white tiled floor. Once you walk through the doors the office is to the right. The office seemed a bit cramped, since it had so many rooms in such a small area. In the office I meet with a really nice, sweet secretary who helped me register into the school, giving me a small tour of the school, also helping me find

    One topic I enjoyed in this class was social interaction and social structure. Social interaction is how we interact with others in the world. Social structure is our status in the world. The one thing that stood out to me was the three different statuses. Ascribed status is a part of us, something that will never go away. My ascribed status is that I am an African American woman. Achieved status is the things we accomplish in life and put effort into. These are the things we freely do. My achieved status would be when I was in High School and I volunteered to mentor small kids at an elementary school. Also when I help my Aunt every year with grading her papers and helping her teach at her school. Master status is the status that makes up your

    After finishing the teaching part of the lesson, I realized that not everything goes according to plan. For example, in our lesson plan, we had the explain portion detailed and outlined to teach students the technical terms of what they were seeing in the stations and other activities and make it a collaborative effort within groups to work with the vocabulary words. However, the teaching of the plan was not well executed. Also, I learned that teaching a topic does not have to be boring or just full of worksheets. Fun, engaging lab stations and interactive activities can fulfill the standards and requirements just as well, if not better, than basic worksheets and PowerPoint lectures. Lastly, I realized that lesson planning and teaching require a great deal of effort and work, but it is all worth it when a light bulb goes off in a students’ head and they learn something new and are excited to be learning and extend their science

    In the process of completing this coursework, I have realised that every teacher should be all-rounded and equipped with adequate skills of educating others as well as self-learning. As a future educator, we need make sure that our knowledge is always up-to-date and applicable in the process of teaching and learning from time to time. With these skills, we will be able to improvise and improve the lesson and therefore boost the competency of pupils in the process of learning. In the process of planning a lesson, I have changed my perception on lesson planning from the student’s desk to the teacher’s desk. I have taken the responsibility as a teacher to plan a whole 60-minutes lesson with my group members. This coursework has given me an opportunity

  • My Classroom Observation Experience

    916 Words  | 2 Pages

    The teachers were giving the students positive reinforcement throughout the day. In class we talked about how positive reinforcement helps the students to succeed in their classes. Another ah-ha moment was the environment of the classroom. The classroom had no windows at all. In class we talked about what kinds of things are distracting to students with ASD in classrooms and one of those things are the windows in classrooms. The third ah-ha moment was the parent sheets that the teacher and the school provide for the parents. In class we talked about how parent involvement is very important for the students with disabilities. The teacher fills out the parent involvement paper that lets the parents know how the child did in school this week and what their child needs to improve on. The students must give their paper to their parents to look at when they get home. The things that I had learned during my observation experience that I will use in the future for my classroom will be including student learning objectives in the classroom, using positive reinforcement, and get the parents more involved in their child’s education. I will go over with the students what the student learning objectives are in the beginning of class so the students will know what they will be doing and what they will be learning throughout the day. I also will use positive

  • Reflection Paper In English

    In high school, English was my strongest and favorite subject. I never had to work as hard in English as I did in math or any other subjects I took in high school. My peers would cram all night for a Literature test we were going to have but not I. I excelled in writing essays about Moby Dick and his white Whale or Beowulf and Grendel. My confidence in my ability to write was always high and when I enrolled at Chattahoochee, I assumed my confidence would not waiver. When I received my grade for my first paper, I was in shock of all the red ink that covered it. English 1101 taught me the skills I needed to have to be able to write a great paper and prepared me for what was to come for English 1102. English 1102 have taught me to rethink my abilities as a writer and to work harder and spend more time on my essays and think outside the box.
