Select

The learning outcomes are:

 Identify the four seasons.
 Identify “what clothes do people wear in each season?”
 Identify “what the season like?”

There are no special needs in this class. The differentiation strategy is use was
for homework. I also differentiation in my questioning so I ask him questions
based on their level. I also differentiation them in the handwriting activity.

Also, for differentiation I ask that merging students to read the vocabulary
words such as cloudy, sunny, windy, snowy, with adding pictures under each
word to make it easy for them to read and understand the word. For
developing students, I asked them to read a full sentence about the seasons.
And for master students I asked them to write a simple sentence I had some
pictures for the seasons, and they should describe the picture.

I always used oral positive reinforcement with my students to encourage them

keep working and be confident to participate in the lesson as well as using
stars and points on Nearpod when they finish their work.

To scaffold my activities, I like to start my lesson with a video then discuss

the video with my students ask them questions then listen to them if they have
any question about the video or if they have any discussion to said after that I
start explaining the next activity for them then after they finished the activity
with have a discussion and I give them point when they finished the activity
and so on till we finish the lesson and start with time to climb.

Overall aim and context of the lesson

The lesson was about four seasons. For prior knowledge I asked them simple
questions such as how many seasons in the year? What is the hottest season?
What is the coldest season? What do we wear in summer? And want to be
there on winter autumn and spring? Since the lesson is kind of easy, I try to
make the activities and my questioning for that simple and creative.
As always I start my lesson with a video then we discuss it together.

Describe
On Monday March 1, 2021, 10:35 to 11:05 AM I start my Science lesson with
great 2/5. And the lesson was about the four seasons. I present my lesson
using Microsoft teams and Nearpod.
I taught grade 2/5 students online using Microsoft team. It’s my first-time
teaching grade 2, it was an interesting experience and I think I did well, but I
know that I’m still missing some professional tips. Since it’s my first time
using Nearpod my personal goal was to manage my teaching performance
well using the web. As I said I’m still missing some professionalism
strategies, but I think I did well in my first time the students were following
with me, there are few students who are lost like Taif but she keep up with us
and join middle of the lesson.
The rest of the class with following with me participating and answering.
Analyze
Since this is the first time, they so me and the first time I introduce myself to
them I didn’t expect this much of respondence I was shocked and happy to
see them answering and participating with me. Opening camera was one of
the main reasons for the student’s response and participation in the class.
Using a new way to teach like Nearpod was a bonus for me they were
participating more. Students were able to name the four seasons and they also
were able to differentiate features of the four seasons. To engage students I
add different type of activities and there was matching pictures short quiz and
time to climb. And daddy and I give them a writing activity I tried to add
different types of activities to engage them. I love how they were in gauging
and finishing their tasks or activities on Nearpod.
Appraise
The idea of using Nearpod was successful from my point of view. However,
if I think I should practice more on how to use it I should prepare a
PowerPoint presentation as well to my lesson to make it easy for me and for
the students to understand how they can join near pod so for the next time I
won’t lose one of my students’ participation. I don’t think my lesson meet
my teaching goal 100% how weather however I will take my MCT feedback,
and I will fix it and my next lesson. I use Nearpod game Time To Clime to
assess the students at the end of the lesson.

Transform
As I said I think I still missing some tips but after I have meeting with my
MCT And listening to her feedback now I know what I’m missing and what I
need to focus on for my next lesson. I will make sure to have a good
instructions and introduction. I’ll make sure to tell the students are learning
outcomes and what we are going to learn. I will try to use my time wisely
instead of rushing. I am I will also use PowerPoint.
