Concise Reflections & actuality

Goal 1:  To use different vocab, and
practice to pronounce the word.
I think improving the second language is necessary to be a
successful teacher in the future, and assist my students to learn
English, When I mastered the language, I will know how to
deal with different issues and situations and how to support my
students to learn their second language. What is more to
transferred the information for the kids in a different way, for
example, if they don’t understand the keywords so the teacher
will use the synonyms for the words to make the idea
 understandable and creative, also for communicating with
English teachers in school, So what I did to achieve this goal
during my TP, before teaching any lesson I look for keywords
and their meaning, same words was easy to describe for the
learners, for example, animal names, when I show them
pictures they know what I mean, Also I use (TPR) method,
Total physical response is a language teaching method
developed by James J. Asher in 1960. According to the
researchers at The Teacher Toolkit “is a method of teaching
language or vocabulary concepts by using physical movement
to react to verbal input (n.d.)”,so when the teacher understand
the word ,she will know how to explain the difficult words for
young learners ,this method will assist the students to member
the word ,moreover is interactive method in online learning to
associations between brain and muscles, because students sets
for long time ,so they must do same exercise, for example word
cut and they act with their hands. In addition to achieve my goal
I stared making a list for impanated words and put them in
sentences, Also I download vocabulary app, practice learning
new words in my very time, apps such as, word of the day and
wordalot. Also, in weekend I watch English movies without
Arabic translate.

Evidence:

Action 1: Learn different vocab and synonyms.

Use the new words every day.
Try same games that improv my
vocabulary
such as word puzzles.
Also, there is other ways to improve
our second language, for example,
listening to music, movies, TV
shows, news, entertainments, the
radio set aside two hours per day to
 listen and watching movies in
English.

Goal 2:  To finish lesson on time.

Action 2: Time management is important for teachers, in order

 Make sure everything ready before to organize the lesson. In my online TP, I utilize a
class such as timer for each part at the begging of the lesson I put
Actives and PowerPoint.

 Use sand timer,15 min for
introduction ,15 min for actives
and 10 min for closing and formative
assessment.
Finishing lesson on time
develops self-confidence in the
teacher and make them to work
towards definite goal.
my timer 45 min, because on period 45 min, for
example, for the introduction I assigned 20 min
because I start the lesson with the national anthem
and remind the class rules also reviewing what they
learned last class then starting the lesson. And 15 min
for activities, usually students do an online activity,
so I did I put time for each activity, for example,
5min in word well after 5 min the activity will
automatically shut down then they move to another
activity and I give them a specific time to finish the
activity, also I rimed them how many time left for
them also I make sure that they will able to finish the
activity in 5 min if I think this activity takes more
time I give them about 10 min to do it, depends in on
activity .for the closing and assessment I assigned 10
min, all that was adjusted by using the phone to set
the time required for each action to be on time, for
each part I used my phone, but for the online activity,
I used the online timer so it will be in front of them.
In addition, organizing the teaching materials such as
PowerPoint my actives, assessment assists me to
manage my time and my lesson, also I was able to the
teacher all part of the lesson plan. also, I plan an
extra activity for each lesson in case if they finish
before the time. Same time I teach for a double class
so I make sure to plan for 2 classes.

Additionally, My MCT when she observed me on

teams, she praised my organizing for time, she says
you do such a good job.

Goal 4: Creating different activities
 Action 4:  Create different activities depend
on students’ academic level.
 Groping the students.
 See what learning strategy work

 Focus on student’s needs.
 Observing my MST, how she
diffraction the class.
In online learning is a little bit different to make
diffraction, because all of them in one meeting so what
I did, I make 3 different activity so first, all students do
the same activity they easy one and I help them, then
they move to the second activity I give them the
instruction and what they have to do, I do form them
one example and they complete and the last they did a
formative assessment to see who understand and who
need more help.

But MST did do a diffraction activity for the students

when I ask her, she says because there are no low-level
students in her class, and she plans for an activity that
all students are able to do it.

In my opinion, I think teacher must do diffraction,

because if the activity is too high from their level they
will not understand different or is to low form they
level they will not get the benefit, if the teacher cannot
do it in class she can sand it separately for them.

Concise Reflections & actuality

Goal 5: To explore Effective online teaching Important mathematics concepts and procedures can be
problem solving strategies in Math.  best taught through problem-solving strategies. problem-
solving skills are important, should all students have
learned.” Using a problem-solving approach to teaching
and learning math is of value to all students and especially
to those who are high achieving”, problem-solving
strategies help the students to understand the math ideas
in correct way. Also is important to teacher to know what
the effective online problem-solving strategies in math is
and how they used in online class.
I observed my teacher to found the most effective online
teaching problem-solving strategies, I observed the
teacher for 5 weeks each day 2 lessons, I find out the most
effective strategies is Gradual Release model (I model,
we do together, you do), is most effective as students will
take ownership of their own learning by the end of the
lesson. Students will also be more engaged and have a
better understanding of the concepts taught, furthermore
in the "you do" part it will assist the teacher to know who
understands the concept and who needs more help. Also, I
observed that during this strategy all students involved in
class and interact with the teacher. Furthermore, I noticed
that Some problems can be solved by recognizing a
pattern and drawing picture “Drawing a picture is a
 strategy that incorporates the use of drawing pictures to
represent the problem. This strategy is frequently used to
help solve some problems”. Leu, D. J., Kinzer, , c.,
Frayer, Frederick, & Klauseier. (2009)
I notice that my MST covers the complex problem use
video or explains the problem in their mother language,
Moreover, and she plan the strategies base on the concept
and which strategy works best with the class. I notice that
teacher prefer the start the lesson with video about the
topic and show pictures for key words it will assist they
students to understand the meaning.
