you see, Jack showed a pic with a tag: addicted to drive. and then he showed these wonderful ads on youtube. and then he asked students to create tags. this was a writing lesson. Number 1. there wasnt enough writing. Number 2. if the only thing students needed to do was create an ad tag, what was the purpose of showing those beautiful clips? Jack said that there were tags in the ads. but somehow he didnt focus our attention to them. he asked us our feelings about those ads. i think he needs to work on his instructions. his wordings of words need to be clearer. remember, we are all here to help each other improve. i am in no way saying anything otherwise. i believe you need these constructive comments to improve for your next presentation.
Good points
ReplyDelete1. Those videos were really good.
2. Nice suit
3. The topic is fine by form 4 students.
Improvement
1. Your talking speed is a bit slow, and sometimes students cannot hear clearly about the words you are saying.
2. Students may not really learn some writing skills in your class. You should prepare more suitable exercises.
Hope you will be better next time~ thank you
Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote a math problem which actually was a code on the board at the beginning of the class. Then, you showed another code on the slides. It is helpful for increasing students’ curiosity. Also, the video and pictures used in the class were very nice. Besides that, you liked to communicate with students during the class.
There are also some suggestions for you. First of all, your instructions should be clear. Secondly, I think you rely too much on the pictures. Maybe you can prepare some worksheets as guidance for students’ future writings. At last, you should think more about the connection in your lesson plan. Overall, it was a very interesting class. Thank you.
"Lastly..." Dont use "At last.."
DeleteLastly is used like "finally" as in "Finally, take a left turn at Swanston Street".
At last is used as in "At last, my students understand me!"
See the difference?
Thank you for your correction, madam! lol
DeleteJack’s lesson really interests me from the beginning to the end.
ReplyDeleteI like the every pictures and video that he prepares for the class.
They are inspiring which can prompt students to think creatively.
Just like what he said, everything behinds the advertisement is interesting.
And I was totally influenced by the essence of English.
My only suggestion is that he has to speak clearer and louder by stressing the key words while he is presenting.
Jack’s set induction and closure both were very interesting and can catch students attention well. His topic was not obvious. Besides, there was a little rush during his teaching, and he should practice his speaking skill, don’t rush some words in one sentence so that students can hear what he said more clear. He should make more writing exercise for students, because in his class, speaking part was kind of more that writing practice. Otherwise, he wore a nice suit which is an important aspect of teachers. And he was patient to students which made him to be a good teacher.
ReplyDeleteHe uses a lot of interesting advertising video clips. But he didn't narrow down his topic to a specific area. Advertisement contains too many aspects that students won't be able to understand which aspect they need to focus on. Also, he also need to prepare more for students to adapt to the writing before they actually do.
ReplyDeleteJack’s lesson was amazing because he tried something that really different and eye-catching. He showed us the code which was very affective for set induction because everyone was interested and curious about it. However, I’m quite blur about what was the relation of the code with his lesson. It didn’t follow the flow. After that he showed us a video which was also fascinating, the video made students thought about the hidden meaning and he created more question from the video to force students to speak. However, his main weakness was his voice. His instructions were not so clear because he mumbled all the time. We as students were hardly understood his instruction. Other than that, his activities were not connected and it can make students confuse about what they were really learned. Overall, Jack was a creative teacher and I believe he create many activities that can attract students’ attention.
ReplyDeleteGood points:
ReplyDeleteShowed us a code for a set induction was an eye-caching because it would created students' curiosity. Few interesting clips used was very interesting.
Aspects to work on:
Jack should make sure that he'll give better instruction to students next time. He didn't make used of the clips that he showed in the class earlier. His writing task to students doesn't really implied the writing activity.
