Self Evaluation on TP 16/02/09

Year 2: ICT
Year 5: Maths

1. Self concerns: Ability to teach, Class control, Discipline

For the Year 2 pupils, there were no problems encountered during my last TP as the pupils were so eager to learn more on Paint Tools in which they have already been introduced to Paint in their previous lesson. Even though some of the pupils are talking during the lesson, they managed to answer the questions asked by the teacher correctly. When given a chance to try out the tools in paint program in the front on the IWB, the noisy pupils stopped talking because they don’t want to miss the chance of doing the tryouts.

For the Year 5 pupils, they were learning Multiplication of a 4-digit number to a 3-digit number using The Gelosia Method in which they have done it in their previous lesson but on 2-digit numbers. Here, the lesson was conducted smoothly as they already understand the basic concept of Gelosia Method.


2. Task concerns: Teaching tasks such as big classes, inadequate instructional materials

For Year 2 pupils, they managed to remember what they have learnt in their previous lesson. Most of them know where to find the Paint program and open it. They also managed to identify the tools available in the Paint program and also recognize each of its functions.

For Year 5 pupils, some of them managed to answer the exercises given on time but some of them were stuck with their multiplication tables which were assumed as the major problem here. Although there were only 6 questions given, most of them got 4 to 5 out of 6 which had reached my level of expectations. For some pupils who do not remember well with their multiplication tables, they only managed to do 2 to 3 questions out of 6 during the lesson.


3. Impact-Learning concerns: Needs of pupils, about themselves as individuals, the tasks and contents of the teaching process, and impact of their teaching on pupils’ behaviours

For Year 2 pupils, they were able to identify the tools and recognize the functions of each tool in Paint program. They enjoyed the lesson as they were being asked to try out on the IWB themselves one by one.

For Year 5 pupils, the problem here was remembering the multiplication tables. For those who can memorize their tables well, they managed to finish the exercise given (6 questions). Unfortunately for those who had forgotten the tables, they did not do well although attentions were given individually. In knowing this, the cooperating teacher did help them out in doing their exercise which I do not prefer because it will only leads to spoon-feeding and the pupils will not learn from their mistakes.

Lesson Plan - Science

TOPIC: MATERIALS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
CLASSIFYING MATERIALS – LIVING / NON-LIVING THINGS.



In this lesson, pupils classify materials as either made from things that were once alive or things that were never alive.

They make a classification diagram, and then carry out literacy activities on the handouts provided.

ATTAINMENT TARGET:

Pupils should be taught to compare everyday materials and objects on the basis of their material properties, including hardness, strength, flexibility and magnetic behaviour, and to relate these properties to everyday uses of materials.

OBJECTIVES:

To classify materials as those that were once living, and those that have never lived.

Through the literacy activities, pupils read a wide range of information relevant to the properties of materials.

LESSON PLAN:

The teacher shares the objectives of the lesson.

The teacher selects a version of the passage provided and gives out appropriate handouts for the pupils to read.

The teacher uses IWB to display the passage and goes through it with the whole class with a question and answer session.

The teacher then shows and talks through the IWB and with this introduce the next part of the lesson.

Pupils work with the activities provided on classification of materials and instruction sheets to complete their diagrams.

The teacher then chooses, from the range of literacy materials available, relevant and appropriate activities.

At any time during the work on grouping and classifying materials the teacher can give the pupils crosswords.

TEACHING AIDS:

A range of materials, such as objects made from plastic, metal, wood, paper, ceramics and fabrics (e.g. cotton, linen) and oil.

Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) and computers.

Handout notes on Classifying Materials.

LITERACY:

Pupils have opportunity to work on the passage of different difficulties.

Whole class teaching by using a model passage. Introduce the structure of classification worksheet.

The Literacy worksheets focusing on words and sentences can be taught in the context of the science lesson.

There are a number of features of crosswords which are relevant to the development of pupils’ literacy. They help pupils in their spellings, vocabulary and definitions of technical terms. Also, pupils tend to enjoy them because they like puzzles.


NOTES:
CLASSIFYING MATERIALS

We can group materials in many ways. One way is to put those materials that are made from living things into one group. The materials that are made from things that were not alive go into the other group.



Some materials are made from living things. These materials come from plants and animals.

For example, we get wool from sheep and we get leather from a cow’s hide.

Plants also produce useful materials.

For example, we get rubber from rubber trees, we get hard wood from oak trees and we get cotton from cotton plants.

Some materials are made from things that were never alive. These materials come from the underground.

For example, we use rocks for building roads and houses, we often use metals to make things like keys, knives, nails and paper clips.

Materials like nylon, plastics, paint and fuels are made from oil. Glass and ceramics are made from sand and clay.


CLASSWORK:
CLASSIFYING MATERIALS (LIVING OR NON-LIVING MATERIALS)

You have been given the beginning of a classification diagram. You have to cut out the pictures below and stick them into the correct box on your diagram.



Cut out the pictures and put them in the correct place on the first row of your diagram.



Cut out the pictures and stick them in the correct place to show what they are made from.
