Mubarak's Lesson
Mubarak's clip was very interesting: aging population. However, he moved to the next stage which was a discussion of a list of words to show feelings of concern, sympathy, anger etc. And I couldnt see the connection. He then asked students to roleplay using some expressions of concern etc 'Are you okay?' 'Ow I fell off a bike'. What does this activity have to do with the clip on aging population? And then he asked students to write a letter to Mr Leong, an elderly man who is sick and depressed. The instructions given need to be clearer. I wasnt sure what the students needed to write or who they were to write to Mr Leong. The situation given wasnt clear. What could Mubarak do to improve?

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteMubarak is a really good teacher, i'm sure that his students will love him. as what have been said in the class, her lesson was quite unorganized and the activities that he did was unrelated with his set induction.
we as students confused about what are the main topic that we supposed to learn in that day.
his activity about role play was creative but i think he should give more guidance and lead the students how to act.
His activity in asking us to write a letter also good because students can learn how to write a letter but he should prepare a clearer instruction for that and teach the students how to write a correct format of informal letter because some students may not know the structure of a letter.
He is a passionate teacher. I can't compare with him on that way. His lesson didn't provide me a clear topic.
ReplyDeleteVideo itself is good but confuse students. Nothing is real relate to topic. He didn't use computer very much is good. If he use white board would be better. I would try to have an activity on the board and avoid using computer.
Talking about activity. He asked students write letter. He didn't give us a good instruction.
Hello every one! After a long holiday, I decide to post this evaluation for my own lesson. First of all I have to say that Siew Inn and Jack Gao`s comment for me are very useful and constructive. They let me know about what a student could learn from the activities and exercises that I prepared.
ReplyDeleteIt is obviously that my instruction was not clear, so that most of my students are confuse about what I asked them to do. Like what Jack said to me that “I`m a passionate teacher”, I think that means I was so rushing to move forward and most important is that I could not explain the activities well, thus the students were even confused about why I asked them to do this and that.
Like what I comment in Wanglin`s lesson that there is lacking of links between the topic and activities, in another word is that after a good video show, there is no or not enough activities about or related to that video.
These are just some of the weak point of my lesson. I wish I can know more from the others` comment. I shall post more about the critical reflection. TQ O(∩_∩)O
Good points
ReplyDelete- Handsome teacher, nice outlooking, very gentalman, he said "thank you very much" everytime.
- interesting activities and nice video clip
Improvements
- Try to explain more clear about the rules of activities.
- Get familiar with every details on the lesson plan
- After video, it is better if you asks students write down several sentences about their own grandparents.
thank you~~
The coherence of his lesson need to be strengthened, He didn't give clear instruction for his exercise. and his video's a bit long and contains a lot information which may confuse students.
ReplyDeleteBesides this, He has a nice voice projection and he could dress properly.
Hi everyone, I think it’s an interesting topic for a writing lesson. The voice is loud and clear.
ReplyDeleteAnd I notice some places that he can be improve. Firstly, the video is good thing to get students’
attention but it’s kind of long for the set induction. And there are too many words in the video;
this may let some students lose the interest to watch it. And the instructions are not clear enough.
I believe you can do better next time.

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteYou are a passionate teacher! The atmosphere in your class was very good.
At the beginning of the class, you played a video about aging population. For me, it was a little difficult to understand and I was not fully attracted. And then, the following activities were not really related to your topic so that we started to get confused about the theme of your lesson. We did not see the relationship between the video and the following activities. So, you should pay more attention on connection in your lesson plan. In addition, your instructions should be clear. Overall, you will be a good teacher. Your class had a lot of fun.
Mubarak was a polite and gentle teacher. For the beginning of the lesson, the video clip was good. However, the content of the video might a little difficult for me to understand immediately. Therefore, I think it would be more effective for students to acquire the information if the teacher could give a brief introduction or conclusion to the clip.
ReplyDeleteAnd also Mubarak needs to notice that the way he carried out his lesson should be more coherent. Otherwise, students may get confused about the lesson.
Good points:
ReplyDeleteA good topic to be learned.
Aspects to work on:
Mubarak should gave a clear instructions on the activity. There was no continuity from his set induction to the next stage. I found it hard to get the main idea of the video that he used, so he could do some explanation about the clip. Choosing a good video clip means that he should choose a clip that really attracted students' attention especially the low-proficiency students to understand it better. It is because the clip contains a lot of words. He wouldn't want it to be a reading activity, didn't he?
Overall, nice-looking won't failed to attract students' attention. :D
