What standards or LOs were being addressed in the lesson?

• The standers that I am addressing in this lesson are to explain to the students how to use
the words ( what / why/who)
How did you cater for learners with special needs, and for differentiation?

• Making sure to differentiate the activities based on students level’s and needs. To help
them understand the lesson better
• How did you use positive reinforcement? Methods? For what?
• In this lesson I use positive reinforcement by rewarding the students with class dojo points
and have a time to play with the computer. If a student is behaving well and participating
in the activities during the lesson, they get points and playing time.
• This method helps the students to be more motivated during the lesson and give them a
chance to think about their action.

How did you sequence or scaffold activities so that they built gradually towards the learning
objectives?

• I scaffolded the activities by demonstrate the activities for the students. Then ask different
students to repeat what they are supposed to do before I send them to do the activities in
centers by themselves.
• Also, to prepare different types of questions to ask the students during the lesson.
