Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague): e.g. how did
you feel about conducting a formal observation? How did your colleague feel about being
observed? How did you feel about discussing your observations with your colleague after the
lesson? How did your colleague react to your assessment? Did she agree with your evaluation?
Which of the suggestions you made will your colleague apply in her next lesson? Do you and your
colleague feel that this was a valuable experience? Why/Why not?

The lesson was very good and fun. Hend was able to be a perfect teacher .I discussed about her strengths s and
weakness as I mentioned above. I benefited a lot of her teaching lesson through observed her techniques. I
pointed to her for she was talking very quickly and she has to try to be calm during teaching. She told me when
she nervous she does. Also, I pointed that questions at the beginning were long but she told me she told that she
think that all questions she asked were important to ask them. Finally, she pointed that students were motivated
during activity so, they normal making a noisy a little bit. The experience was valuable because we benefited
from each other and we shared our view points about lesson.
