lessons by showing Mahra their good
behavior and participation during lessons.
Also, Mahra can send her feedback daily or

can use random to make sure that all
students participate with her during the
lesson.

students showing her their participation by
answering her questions, singing with her,
and showing her their work during the lesson.

other students participate with her. Then, for
those who work hard in the lesson don’t give
them any homework this day.

used to cater to all learners including those with
special needs.

students can see PowerPoint slides.
- Mahra used an online whiteboard to make sure
that students can see shapes and try to copy with
her.
- Mahra used big images of each shape to make sure
that students see it clearly. For example, mahra
asks her students to count how many sides a
triangle has?
● What was efficient about these strategies?

Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with a colleague):

During the observation, I feel a lot of things from Mahra because she has different things to make during her lesson
to be achieved, such as how she thought and choose her activities. Mahra showed me who she was comfortable
with during her observation; honestly, I know she is hard works to help her students and she always tries to find
interactive ways to teach them. After I observed Mahra we have discussed her lesson and the ways that she thought.
I feel convertible because she like my comments that I share with her and she will try to change the next lesson.
Mahra told me that sometimes other things affect her lesson, such as parents because they don’t know how to use
some website so that she can use some easier things that make things be comfortable for parents and students as
well. Mahra react to my assessment by approved and agree my evaluation what I told her, she told me something
that I really like it ‘’ we are learning different things from each other that how we learn’’. I agree with her because I
learn a lot of things from her inside and outside the college.
I give her a lot of websites that she can use during her lessons before such as a live worksheet, neared, and
PowerPoint and I thought her who to use it. Mahra applies this strategy, Mahra told me that she will use activities
for each level in the class. I and Mahra feel that this was a valuable experience because we share together some
experience to improve ourselves and be good teachers. In this lesson, Mahra tries to follow student’s needs and
focus on each level in the class.

Please share feedback immediately following the observation once the forms are completed.
