Student interest and participation

Understanding Appropriateness of resources
Classroom management
Lesson outcomes
Positives, negatives, changes
Student interest was successfully generated by incorporating personal
experiences of symbols and using the Turkish evil eye as an example
symbol. Student participation was good, however they could have been
given time to research some more of the questions and use of prompting
and leading questions should have been increased.
Resources were appropriate, however it would have been beneficial to
have my laptop connect to the projector to show students the evil eye and
how to research and create rows in the table.
In terms of behavioural management, students were very well behaved,
followed instructions and remained quiet when required. Next time I would
be more aware of students still typing on their laptops while I was talking
in two instances.
Lesson aim and outcomes were achieved. However, I moved too quickly
onto the final question and instead should have asked year 8 to complete
this section for homework or introduce this question next lesson. Asking
students why I could hear typing when I was talking was an effective way
to manage behaviour.
