Siew In's Lesson

Siew In was presentable in her kurung. A few grammatical mistakes which didnt impede our understanding of her lesson. Remember to include in your specific objectives all activities carried out in class. Now, have I covered everything?

  1. Hi, the lesson topic is good. It can teach students sense of morel value, to prevent the students get any bad addiction.

    And she give a real life story to students, it can let the students be aware of the bad consequence behind any harmful addiction.

    And I notice one thing is she leaves the homework for the students during the lesson.

    I think it’s better to leave homework at the end of lesson.

    just in case that students get distract from the lesson. Over all, nice work!

  2. Good evening everyone~
    After Siew In's class, I asked her the proficiency level of her lessons, she said "Intermidate". Personally, I think for intermidate students, the exercises and passage is a little bit hard for them. Some big words in the passage, students may take longer time to understand it. One more thing is, teacher can give more background about drugs, a good way to help students more interested in the class. Anyway, good video clip, thank you~

  3. Hi, for my lesson i think i can improve more if i communicate more with the students and let them speak because at certain time i didn't have idea what to speak with them and how to give a better response to their ideas. it is also better if i make more preparation like read more info about the topic.
    Wang Yi said my passage is a little bit hard for the students, maybe other time i should spent a little time for vocabulary skill and discuss the meaning of words that students didn't understand.

  4. She is a kind teacher, don't you think so?
    I think video is a little hard for students. It is closely relate to the topic. Her statement is straight to the topic which I like most.
    The activity is too boring to attract my attention. The most I watching is her behavior not the content she taught.
    I felt a little nervous and uncertain from your smile but I'm not sure.
    Well done.

  5. I like the topic of her class, it gives students a kind of forewarned to keep them away bad peer influence and any kind of addictions or abuse. I like the video also, that is a good choice. Obviously, Siew Inn is a good and kind teacher. She has good voice projection and enough communication with their students.
    Her lessen could be better if she had more “EYE CONTACT” with the students. It could be a part of class management and strategy of teaching. It could ensure you always get your students attention and you may look out something you had missed from their eyes.

  6. Hi everyone,

    First of all, it is a good topic which is suitable to be used in secondary school. The video chosen was related to your topic and it was very interesting. I like that you discussed some latest news and celebrities who abuse drugs with your students.
    One of the activities was to ask students to give causes and effects of drug abuse. For this part, I think that teacher can write down students’ opinions or keywords on the board, instead of just listening to their points. In this way, I think that it is more effective to help students organize their ideas before writing.
    Overall, you did well. Well done!

  7. Good points:
    Let the students watched a good clip related as a set induction was great. It helps to introduce the topic for the lesson. Giving examples with current news was good because it can attracted students' attention to be part of the discussion in the class.

    Aspects to work on:
    Communication between teacher-students is very important so that the teaching and learning activity in the classroom would be more meaningful. She should emphasis more on vocabulary as the passage is quite hard for the students.

    Fifi.
