4th Class Reflection

Good day everyone, had you enjoyed your day off today? (for me, Wednesday is a off day because i have no class on each Wednesday) I'm here again to write you guys my 4th class reflection. It's currently 12.45am now. hehe, lets see how many hours i use to update this blog post. Many of my friends say i update my post very fast but it is because i want to stress up my weekdays and enjoy my weekends. Sleep whole day, shopping or blaaaaa. I also know it's late now, but this weekend i won't be free, so lets complete it now.

  FYI, due to too many complaints from my buddies that my blog's background music is too shocking to them, (my first song is a violin version song), i changed my playlist. I removed some of them by adding in some new songs. Some Disney songs i did remain but changed from piano version to the original song(with lyrics). Little information, i LOVE Lion king and Beauty and the Beast. :) but too sad, if you did update yourself about the most recent news about this wonderful Disney movie-Beauty and the Beast, due to some issues, Disney is not allowing it in Malaysia. (Skip this now..............)

  Start our main topic. This class was about lesson plan. As usual, of cause there's a Q&A section. Before sharing my thought, lets answer the given task first. This is the task given for our 4th reflection:

 

   Lecturer had shown us 3examples of lesson plan, 1 for Mathematics while another 2 for English, All lesson plan has it own format. From what I had learnt in the class, the format or the structure of lesson plan is depends on the school you are teaching. Some school has this but not that while other school has that not this. Based on the task which is 'Design my own structure of lesson plan', we could add or minus the structure of the lesson plan. So, this is the lesson plan of mine that i think is suitable for all classes.

  Let's Explain:
*star is stated for few of them, means it might be needed or not needed.

Level of Proficiency: for example, beginner? This can help educator in preparing how heavy should the class be, if it is for beginner, maybe educator should start with something that is more toward basic learning or questions and exercises that is easier compared with expert level. If for expert level, educator can prepare the exercises that require more higher order thinking skills or critical thinking,

Background Knowledge: for example, students learnt the basic concept of log. To allow educators know what is being taught for the pass lesson and what student's knew,

Learning Objectives: i think giving minimum 3 objectives is appropriate.

Learning Outcomes: I think giving 3 outcomes is appropriate too but this is subject to changes according to the number of objectives given, all objectives should be achieved and become the outcome of the lesson.

*Values: If the educator can come out with any values about this particular lesson, educator can include it into the lesson plan. if there is none, its okay. For example, students learn how to work together in group presentation.

Teaching Aids: This is necessary even using textbook only also required to state in here. This can also ensure educator do not forget what to bring or prepare for the class such as have to bring newspapers, hangouts, colour pencils or tools needed for the class and more.

Teaching/Learning Approaches: Including at least 1 teaching approach can make the class much more fun and interesting than using the usual way of teaching which is teaching talk students listen. Listing out the teaching and learning approach can also act as a reminder for the educators that they had used these approaches last lesson. Change to something new! Also a clearer view for educators to prepare themselve in these teaching approaches to ensure class can goes on smoothly.

*KBKK: If educator can link to the KBKK, educator can list it out here.

*Resources/References: If educator use things outside the textbooks such as newspaper articles, videos, musics or online games and games. It's references and resources should be stated here. If none, it's okay.

 

  It's like the usual lesson plan. The activity and duration must stated clearly, so that it will not confuse others. In my opinion, Development should separate it to Stage 1 or 2 or 3 or so on, this is to allow a better control in duration for each activity and section. If all listed under Development only, it might lead to some time management issue such as not enough time to complete the activity. 

  For the Teaching and Learning Method, I myself prefer it to be separated into 2 different columns as it will be much easier to understand and much easier to be conducted too.

  Rational and AVA(Audio Visual Aids), I likes it to be separated too, compared with putting them together. This can make things look much neat and tidy.  AVA could be none if there is no teaching/learning aids needed for that particular activity.

  

  At the end of it, educator can include 'Reflection', this allow educator to improve themselve for the next lesson. Appendix can come after Reflection. Including a copy of the handout, exercises or notes given during the class.

  That's Yue Ling's version of structure of lesson plan. This is also my first time trying to design a lesson plan and i really have zero experience about it. Please do ask me or correct me if i did it wrongly or missed anything that should be in it, in the comment box below. Thank you very much and much appreciated. 

 

Our suppose Formal look class photo, we were trying to copy the version we used to take every year during our secondary school life.

See what we ended up with....?

  Oh yaaa, back to my little thought about the class. i asked a question which is i think everyone might actually will face during their teaching next time. The question was about, what to do if there is a very very slow learner in your class while others are fast learner or at least faster that him? How to help him? How to plan the lesson plan, should i follow him? or the others? After a nice discussion among all, i think i get the answer. i still remember lecturer said 1 sentence which still keep in my mind until now. ' prepare him for his PT3/SPM'. i also asked about how to improve that student until he can 'be same like others'? (in the aspect of learning) Lecturer did solve my doubt too which is, the student can't 'be same like others' in a short time but needs time.
***the same like others is not to say same as smart as or as intelligent as, or even learn as fast as. Its just about.. erm... example: that student can finish his essay on time like others did :)

  It's time for bed now. Thank you very much to all for helping me to solve this doubt. Love you guys and good night. (2am now)

  

  Enjoy the music and do give me feedback. hahaha. Good day ahead everyone!
