Suggestions:
 Better to write short simple objectives on the board
 Went very fast through the revision of the previous lesson
 Better to elicit and review using pictures and body language – are you sure that the
students knew the shape while drilling
 Show the video for the first time, then revise the information for the second time
 Better to pause the video and ask about each shape
 Language mistakes in the lesson plan and questions
 Did you see the rectangle in the video? – language error and all students said yes –
better to show the shape
 The lesson plan needs further organization
 Move away from the board
  Nervous
 Provide the instructions to the whole class and then choose a student
 The ball is not a circle
 You were using 3D shapes to teach shapes
 It is fine if the students did not know the answer, you should not get nervous
 1 minute is not enough to do the scratching activity
 Your eyes were mostly on me during the whole lesson instead of the students
 Be firm with the students
 Let the students present their answers to the whole class
 Attract the whole class attention
 They are young, take the materials form them
 The font of the word Diamond is too small
 Stop and remain quiet for a while, don’t move on until all of them are listening
 You can take out a sticker or give the talkative groups a sad face
 I can see two triangle – pay attention to plurals
 Avoid giving your back to the whole class
 For the cards game, you gave only some students while the rest were not listening
and paying attention
 A lot of games, better to have more student-centered tasks
 The flashcards are too small
 When showing the flashcards, get closer to the students
 Your movement in class must be more
 A lot of teacher’s talk
 It is a brown? – language errors
 Started well and then the pronunciation of teddy bear went wrong
 Ask students questions while monitoring
 More attention to the groups at the back and students on the corners
 You have creative ideas, but they were too much for the lesson, a lot of speaking
but less writing was happening
 Were mostly saying the answers instead of the students
 Make use of transition- the students were bored
My focus of the next lesson:

- Move around the class and observe the students when they solve the activities.
- More of asking questions.
- Write the objectives in the board.
- Avoid the language mistakes in the lesson plan and questions
- Make the flashcards or the activities in a big page.
- Control on the whole class attention.
