 Checklist, observation of group participation and class discussion, work samples,
Reflection of lesson (lesson evaluation)
 To what extent were the children successful in achieving the learning outcomes? How do you know?
(Consider individual differences and the children’s learning in the light of initial considerations)
Students identified the photos by the colour, this experience didn’t led children to think critically.
 Did you achieve what you set out to in the purpose of the lesson? Why? / Why not? How do you know?
No, because children didn’t get the opportunity to think critically and apply their knowledge.
 What were the strengths and weaknesses of: the activities; the resources; your teaching (communication,
presentation, management strategies)
The powerpoint was the strength of this lesson as it delivered the content constructively,
 Why did the lesson proceed as it did? What factors affected its implementation?
I didn’t ask open-eneded questioning, I was the one talking more rather than children.

Action
 Consider ongoing planning - what are you going to do next?
