Online Love Birds: Si Ting
Si Ting....Si Ting...i love your lesson. your peers enjoyed it too. your lesson was clear, structured, and interesting. from the part where you divide the class into pros and cons, to the passage on the dangers of online dating, you had us glued. (you had us at 'online dating') ;-) one thing you can work on is to give a sample writing that is similar to the essay structure you require sts to follow. do not give a narrative as a sample and ask sts to write something factual. remember to stick to one GENRE at a time.

Good points
ReplyDelete1. As same as the last lesson, she has a clear structure of her lesson plan.
2. One detail, she reminded students the structure of the essay by showing the ppt, which is very good.
3. We had a nice debate about the advantages and disadvantages of internet dating in class.
Improvement
1. In worksheet 1, you may ask students which word they do not understand, and give the explaination. It will be better, especially for those lower level students.
Good points:
ReplyDelete1. She has improved a lot in her presentation. She speaks more clearer and louder now.
2. An interesting set induction by asking the students to guess the topic that she's going to teach.
Aspects to work on :
1. To make it more interesting, you can ask the students to write an essay and publish them in newspaper or any magazine. This will make the lesson more productive.
2. Same as Wang yi, I think she should help the students with the difficulties of few words in the Worksheet. I have the difficulties with some of the words too.
All in all, good job Siting ! You've improved a lot ! I enjoyed your lesson. :)
So both of you believe that student interactions with students should be improved, and more asistance should be provided to the weaker students. Good.
ReplyDeleteSi Ting is now less 'kayu', and Im very proud of her.
what is "kayu"?
Deletehmmm shud i tell you, or shud i let you tell me. Wang Yi, tell ME, what a 'kayu' is. hehe
DeleteHi everyone, firstly the topic is interesting and close to students’ real life. You successfully get our attentions on the lesson. You give students the review about the structure of essay before they start to write. And your lesson is structure well. There are some points need to improve. Its better that you give the writing sample is similar with the one you ask them to write. And some words that you may prepare explanation for the students, in case they don’t know about it. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHer lesson has some improvement. First her structure is more clear. I get the main idea from the beginning of the lesson. she throw out the questions to students, and make students pay attention a lot, and thing and share their opinions. This is very good. I also like the debate she given us. It can link the class to very good place. However, I hope she can think more about low level students. Beacuse her text somehow a little bit high. Low level students may not be able to catch what she said. If she can explain structure or vocabulary to students, the lesson will be better.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for your lesson. I have learned a lot.
Siting’s lesson was very clear and the lesson was structured well. The topic online dating was interesting which can cause a great discussion among students about pros and cans about it. She led students to go over the structure of essay accurately and concisely which was very helpful for students on their writing. The topic of the article in exercise was also online dating, which will be better if it has the same structure with essays that students are going to write. And she can change difficult words into some easier words in the exercise so that LEP students will do it better.

ReplyDeleteSi Ting started her lesson by showing a very cute couple’s picture and she asked students to guess her topic. I love it when she asked students to write down the advantages and disadvantages of internet dating. This topic is very close to the students because students nowadays live in a digital world, so this lesson is very beneficial for them so that the students can take a precaution to be more careful when they are online. The debate activity also very good because it encourages students to speak and they can get more knowledge about this issue. Si Ting also very confident when she was teaching and has a good interaction with her students. The worksheet that she gave was interesting and suitable to the students’ level. Miss Wang Si Ting should smile more in the class, don’t be too serious :)
ReplyDeleteGood points:
ReplyDeleteIt is good to divide students in the class to have a debate. Moreover, the topic was interesting because it is the current issue and students were likely to know a lot about it. It is one of the the way to tackle students' interest until the end of the class.
Aspects to work on:
Helps students who has difficulties with the the words. Some low proficiency students might need a better explanation from the teacher with their work.
