Diploma in Pre & Primary Teachers Training Course International Training Academy – Final Term
Assignment Page 2 will engage them in the learning process. Objectives can range from easy to hard
tasks depending on student abilities.

Materials: List the materials and resources that will be needed for the lesson to be successful. For
example: technology, audio/visual or any materials that can assist you in teaching.

Presentation: The Presentation phase of the lesson is when the teacher introduces new information.
But at first describe or list a focusing event or attention grabber that will motivate your students to want
to pay attention and learn about what you plan to teach. This will depend on the ages and stages and of
your students and will rely on students' interests and backgrounds. Remember, getting your students to
attend and respond to your introduction will set the stage for the lesson. The teacher guides the
presentation and there may be student input or interaction. She relates the new material to students'
previous knowledge and experiences. Check students' knowledge, make proper utilization of the time
and show pictures that relate to the lesson topic. Keep the language simple. You should also have your
aids ready and in the right sequence. The key to effective presentations lies in careful preparation. You
need to sequence your information in a logical way and you need to know the best ways to create and
keep the student’s interest.

Motivation: The motivation could be anything. It could be a leading question which shows why they
should care about the question, it could be a demonstration, it could be a prize or reinforcement.
Instructors who understand student motivation can to a great extent enhance the classroom experience
and student performance. Pay attention to student feedback. Students bring a certain amount of
background knowledge or prior experiences to any lesson. Use this opportunity to find out what
students know before beginning any lesson. Encourage students to brainstorm for everything they may
know about a topic.

Conclusion: List or describe ways that you can wrap up a lesson. This can include telling students the
most important concepts that were covered in the lesson, asking them what they thought were the key
concepts (or what they learned) or recapitulating the lesson either by questioning or home assignment.

need to give a valid reason to your tutor for not attending the same and if they find it reasonable than
they will provide you with a theory project work.

teaching practice in their own school.

school authority and request to conduct 4 – 5 teaching practice sessions which you can finish in 1 day or
in 2 – 3 days as per the permission given by the school.

practice.

4) You will also be provided with the observation sheet which you need to give it to any senior
authority / any senior teacher of the school, who will be then giving you the feedback on your teaching
practice session.
