Describe:
Who is the lesson for?
Where did the lesson take place?
What were you trying to achieve in your lesson?
What did the students do?
 The lesson was about add numbers that create 10.. Students will be able to add numbers that create
10. I taught the lesson in the classroom. The previous lesson the students learned addition
 A teacher was trying to achieve goals, like let the student follow the requirement in the
outcome of the lesson and understand it.
 In the starter, the teacher start the lesson by asking student what they know about
addition and if they know what it means, teacher told the student what is the meaning and
what sign is it, also she modeled how to write an addition sentence and that we put the big
number on the top and small number on the bottom. Teacher start to engage the student
with rolling the dice and students has to write the answer with the teacher in their
whiteboards. Teacher allowed some student to play and roll the dice.

Analyze:
Why do you think the students responded the way that they did?

How well did your teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding?

How well did you engage the students?

 First, a teacher used introduce, model, practice. It showed the student the right way to
learn and gave them time to ask if they misunderstood anything. Furthermore, nothing
will be right for the first time because it’s new, the teacher was positive about it.
 A student has to roll the dice and write the addition sentence on the board. Educators
were fully engaged because they were interested to learn through fun and activities.

Appraise:
Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective
Did your lesson meet your teaching goals? Why?/Why not?
The lesson kind of met my goal because students has answered all the questions correct.
That shows how students were engaged and teacher has insured each student
comprehension.

Mcleod noticed that, Bruner (1960) explained how this was possible through the concept of the spiral
curriculum. This involved information being structured so that complex ideas can be taught at a
simplified level first, and then re-visited at more complex levels later on. Therefore, subjects would be
taught at levels of gradually increasing difficultly (hence the spiral analogy). Ideally, teaching his way
should lead to children being able to solve problems by themselves.

Transform:
How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future?

What are the implications for your professional practice?

 In the future, I would like to take the students to their center in less time.
According to Ali, he believes that, “based upon data collected from 63 ELT professionals
representing 23 nationalities, this study discusses the qualities teaching TEs should have for
preparing good and effective English language teachers and the implications such qualities have
for achieving quality and accountable ELT education at schools. It was found that TEs are
required to have strong knowledge about the English language, teaching methods, and
approaches and ways of developing professionally (Al Issa, 2018)”.
