Justification

Topic: Technology at Home (Reading)

The year chosen is Year 3. Based on the KSSR syllabus Year 3, the topic chosen is Unit
14: Technology at Home. Some of the skills are used in the lesson are silent reading, read
aloud and chain reading. The skills are taught along with few exercises to make the lesson more
efficient.
The materials used in this lesson are reading texts and pictures. The text is chosen
based on few aspects under the pedagogical principles. The most important for the teacher to
consider is the content of the text used. The text is suitable to be taught in the Year 3 because
firstly it suits the topic of the lesson that is Technology At Home. The text is not too lengthy and
is appropriate for the proficiency level of a year 3 pupils. The text also is chosen based on the
content itself. The vocabulary used is simple and not too complex to understand. Moreover, the
meaning is clear enough for the pupils to comprehend once they read the complete sentence.
With simple and understandable text, it really encourages the pupils to read and notice the form.
By that the information in the text is delivered more effectively to the reader. Thus this exercise
will provide variety of opportunities for recognizing and practicing for the pupils. For this lesson,
the exercise focus on sentence structures and recognizing new vocabularies. In the passage as
well, teacher had highlighted few words that are new to the pupils. By doing this, the teacher
can notice how far the understanding of the pupils about the text given to them by asking them
questions and explaining to them about the highlighted words in the text. Spelling and
vocabulary are one of the important aspects in learning English. In order to check on my pupils
spelling skill, I used pictures as well. This is because I need to consider the age of the pupils
and their proficiency level in English. English is not the native language amongst my pupils, so I
have to choose appropriate vocabulary to suit their language level. Pictures really help the
pupils when it comes to spelling. This is because visual intelligence plays an important aspect in
memorizing facts.
