Summary
For this lesson, I will start off with the pre-assessment
and have them do the different exercises in my
development. All the exercises I chose have for purpose
to drill tin the students brain the formation of past tense
and how to use it. Also, I will have them do the online
games because I know that the students like games in
general.
Contingency Plan
As a contingency plan I would have all the exercises
printed and will also play jeopardy on the board. I will
come to class early and prepare stickers and card boards
for the lesson.

keep up with the next chapter which is present

perfect. I want to lay down a strong foundation
about the past tense so when it comes to other
tenses the students will be able to understand when
and how to use it.
Self-evaluation
Before:
-how can I get the students interested in the
lesson? How can I get them engaged to share their
ideas?-how will I make sure they dont get bored?
Is my discussion have a clear focus?-When will I
step in and call on a student to share with the
class?-should I allow them to work in groups and
talk to each other/share stories then talk as a whole
group?
During:
-Am I talking slow and clear to slow to fast?Is my writing on the board clear and visible to
everyone?-Are my questions open ended and
making them think and talk more?-What can I do
if the conversation and the discussion is not
pushing past the surface level?-Are the students
understanding the lesson? How can I tell?
After:-was my lesson clear and organized?-how
were the transitions between questions? Did they
stay on topic?-Was I able to cover all the
information or did time slip away from me?-What
changes might Improve my next lesson?
-Did a few students not talk and then some do all
the talking?
