Reflection of my lesson

To prepare for our lesson, my partner and I really tried to make a step by step outline of how we wanted to execute our lesson. We wanted to carefully prepare our methods and prodcedures to flow smoothly and to always be progessing throughout the lesson. The objective for our lesson was to get the students to be able to sing along to a song with the teacher and podcast audio video. We also wanted to the students to be able to identify words that rhyme, as well as recognizing words and placing them with the right picture. For assessment measures we observed the students to make sure they were appropriately responding to the text and the song. Then we prompted the students for discussion of new and unfamiliar vocabulary words. We handed out a worksheet for the students to complete in class, where they had to match words that rhyme with one another. Then another worksheet for the students to complete for homework, where the students had to match pictures with words. The lesson wasn't executed exactly how it was written because we had to make modifications to the lesson to best fit the students when the lesson began. the most important thing I tried to teach the students was words that rhyme. It went very well because the book, song, and podcast made it very easy for the students to grasp the objective. It gace the students a visual, audio, and concrete source to learn from. What I learned from the students was that the more and different ways you try to present something makes it much easier to grasp instead of just one. The only thing i would have done differently was inforced more disaplinary rules for the class. My partner and I really didnt set any rules for the students and definatly paid for it. Presenting a rule system to the students would have made the lesson much more effective. I would of gave us some control of the students and allowed us to carry on with the lesson. This is the area where I need improve to better myself for the real thing.
