1. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND OSERVATIONS

Previous Knowledge

Students have covered several topics this year and now with my co-operating teacher we have
narrowed down topics for revision. Any revision question given should be no issue for the students to
answer as it is only revision and all topics have been covered in detail with the students.

Previous Skills

The students have all the skills required to carry out questions on different topics so can all clearly
read a drawing and follow measurements. Each student is confident in using both set squares, lining
up their page and all capable of using the compass. Each student can complete a drawing ensuring
the drawing is completed in and neat and clear way. Each student is aware of how their sheets should
be lined out.

Teacher Observations

I have noticed that all students seem to be enjoying working together on different questions and
helping each other so in this lesson I will be getting students to collaboratively work together as part
of the revision to get students active and ensure they enjoy the lesson.

7. REFLECTION ON THE LESSON (LESSON APPRAISAL)

Q1. What went well in this lesson today, and why? (1 short paragraph or 3-4 bullets)

Getting the students to tell me the steps to draw rather than me sitting at the top of the room
drawing out the question and getting the students to follow me was a lot more beneficial for
the students as they had to think of the steps required to complete the questions and think
back on the different processes required to complete the question rather than just watching me
complete a question and for them to copy it.
Q.2 What did not go as well as expected in this lesson today, and why? (1 short paragraph or 3-4
bullets)

One student had completed the second question quicker than the others and I had not prepared
an extra question like previous lessons for him so I had to instruct him to look at the topic in the
book and ensure that he had clarification on the different methods I could see that he did not
enjoy this task as much as he would if he was completing an extra questions, I have taken note
of this and will be fully prepared for any other lesson.

Q. 3. What might I have done to improve the standard of this lesson? (1 short paragraph or 3-4
bullets)

To improve this lesson, I would have challenged the students to complete 3 questions in the 80
minutes just to see how students would cope under time pressure as in the exam students are
required to complete 4 questions in an hour and a half so it would have been good to see how
students would manage the 3 questions in the class time.

Q. 4 What must I take note of from this lesson that I need to consider when planning the next
lesson? (1 short paragraph of 3-4 bullets)

 Always have an extra question prepared.

 Challenge the students more.
 Keep using groupwork and discussions.
