Evaluation of your This lesson ran well as my first lesson and the students responded to the
planning tasks that they were issued throughout the class. On reflection I felt that
having a wide range of activities and tasks within the double lesson
assisted the students in staying focussed and on task for the whole
duration. As it was my first lesson with this group of year 10s I put a
focus, for myself, on the AITSL standard implementation of standard 1
(Know students and how they learn) and spent time getting to know each
individual student as best as possible and learning names of the students.
Some adjustments and improvements I could add to this lesson would be
to have some introductory lessons and activities on music industry related
content as I felt I moved too quickly through the topics basic content. I
may have rushed due to being put into the class mid semester however it is
an issue I will need to revise.
