Reflection (7).

In my second lesson which was Phonics J, into, and to. I taught this lesson during my teaching
practice at RAK Academy on November 8, 2016, through 20 minutes. The lesson was for
foundation stage, two students. They are ten boys and thirteen girls.
Firstly, the aim of the lesson was to teach the students how to pronounce the phoneme (J, into, and
to) correctly, so I started the lesson and I say today we have a new friend, he comes to talk about
himself. Secondly, I practice with the students the way that they should pronounce and write the
letter, and I provided examples of pictures and words that starts with J. Thirdly, I was applying
task 2 routines that I have prepared to use in the class, so when it was the time for the activities I
used the phonics. For example, if your name starts with O go and choose your activity, so I
send students to choose their activity among their first letter sound of their names which was a
practice for me to pronounce the phonics in front of students. Furthermore, most students chose
the black tray activity which was to take out the words that do not start with J and keep the words
that start with J in the jelly, and they make messy on the class. Unfortunately, I was surprised
because the students were playing with the jelly and I tried to stop them, but Miss Sims said thats
ok and I should not stop them because they are children and they like to play. I think students were
practicing the lesson using their favorite activity which is playing, so they were sharing
responsibility for learning with each other (Student-Student Classroom Interaction, 2016).
Besides, in the last part of the lesson I taught the students the two words which were into and to,
and I made a mistake which was cutting the words into syllables in the state of saying take a picture
of the words because they are tricky words dont put them in syllables. In my next lesson, I will
focus on teaching the tricky words by asking the students to scan the words input them in their
minds.
