second lesson plan reflection

~ here for the second lesson plan, i wanted to do listening skill as this skill is suitable for the topic of direction. i did some research to find suitable activity in the internet. There are various of activity that I’d found in the internet. I choose to use this web http://www.esolht.org.nz/tutors/resources/findingway.pdf for my teaching aid as there are lots of teaching aids for teaching directions in this web. I wanted to use the map in the web as it was simple yet attractive to be used for Year 1 pupils. I also found an interesting video clip that can be used in set induction. Here is the link to the video clip:

I think that this video clip is can attract pupil’s attention as it teaches left and right with fun song and attractive puppet as a tool to show the actions. Pupils love to watch something difference and the puppet show in the video clip can trigger the pupils’ to focus and follow the activity at that time. It also helps the teacher to introduce the topic of the lesson in simple but fun ways. Instead of find difficulty in time by producing something new, the teacher just need to find the suitable video clip and easily modify and show to the pupils. It is more applicable in terms of time and money. Here I noticed that internet is the best resources for the teacher to use as it gives so many teaching and learning activity that are suitable for the classroom. It’s up to the teacher to find the best activity for teaching.
