What we did & Learning objectives!
These are the learning objectives for the lesson…
To search for all the 8 different band websites.
To learn how to judge if their band website is valid or trustworthy.
How to save or bookmark favourite pages that you find online.
Learn how to organise these pages into folders and categories.
What went well?
I thought that my plenary went well. I asked them to stand behind their places and answer a question and if they answered it correctly they could leave. This meant they were leaving the classroom on task still.
There were constantly on task and filling in each part of their PowerPoint slides which meant that they were achieving allot. The total result was allot of work done in the lesson.
I tried to walk around and asses how each pupil was doing and if they had completed each part I had asked.
I was happy with my delivery to them up the front and I felt that they were all paying attention to my delivery.
What could have been done better and what will I do about it?
I changed my lesson plan last minute which meat that I was a bit disorganised when I came into the lesson. I had to quickly finish my slides and resources. This was because I realised that I needed to take a different course of action as the logical order required me to talk about validity of websites before I asked them to source them.
I need to be more specific of what I require of them when explaining technical aspects as when I showed them how to book mark and create folders and sub folders I did not take the time to do this to the full. This meant that it was not quite clear what expected of them. I re demonstrated the book marking process but needed to give more time to this.
I was hoping to get a practical exercise to demonstrate putting sites into folder and the importance of organising and structuring but sadly did not get onto this.
My Feelings
Well I enjoyed this lesson and the pressure that it put on me to adapt and be versatile with short notice. I feel that if I knew this earlier it would have taken the stress of the whole lesson as I was worried I wasn’t going to get it all in.
Thankfully I achieved all of my lesson objectives so al in all I feel this was a good lesson
