C9:
Looking at my C9 form I think I hit on a lot of the main points a lesson should have. My instant activity and introduction were there. I had safety statements and a visual aid. Next lab I need to incorporate a prop either into the lesson or into my hook. I think my tasks were good but I need to do one task then go over my cues and demonstrations. The one weakness I had on my C9 form was my transitions. I was a little nervous so I think this effected the way I transitioned from one task to another. This form was very helpful in figuring out what I need to work on for next lab.
Time Analysis:
I should have used more time for my lesson. Instead of the ten minutes we were given I only used eight so that is something I need to remember for my next lab. My students were active 43% of the time and we are aiming for 50% so I think I did well with that. I didn't have any waiting time and I think that is very important because we always want our kids moving and never waiting for the teacher to set anything up. I think if I keep working on my transitions I can be sure that my students won't be waiting around.
Peer Observation:
One thing my observer pointed out was that I didn't have my students in front of me during the whole lesson. I didn't really think of this while I was teaching because I was walking around to each group of students. I should have everyone in sight though because if something happens while my back is turned I could be liable. I also need to challenge my students. I think if we had more time I would put a challenge in for the students who pick up the skill right away. My observer also thought my instant activity was good because it kept the students wondering what was coming next. This was probably one of my favorite parts of the lesson.
Verbal Transcription:
By doing my verbal transcription I learned that I say "guys" and "all right" too much. I think I did a good job giving directions but I needed to give more congruent feedback. I made sure to say good job to everyone at least once but I could have reminded them of the cues or pointed out what they were doing wrong. My voice was loud and clear which is important to keep the attention of the students.
Goals for Lab C
- Better transitions
- Practice before introduction of cues and demonstrations
- Use full amount of allotted time
- Give congruent feedback
Overall I think everyone in class did a good job with Lab B. Everyone had strengths and weaknesses. I think I did a good job keeping everyone active but I need to work on transitions. My instant activity was fun and not just a physical game but also cognitive and made the students think a little. I also need to make sure to not just say good job to everyone but give congruent feedback.

Hey Liz,
ReplyDeleteI thought that your lesson was very good and I liked how your instant activity related to self defense without it being obvious. You are right about there not being very many props used in our class, I found it very hard to think of a possible prob that would go with my lesson. Your voice was very strong, and overall your lesson was great!
Hey Liz, I
ReplyDeletereallly enjoyed your lesson. I think you activity with the beach balls was a great way to teach your skill. I also liked your cues they were easy to understand and remember. Great job! Another thing your voice was very clear and loud.
Playing your instant activity was a lot of fun and it fit into your lesson plan so well. The use of the beach ball was creative and you gave good feedback during the activity. You were also easy to hear and understand throughout the lesson. Overall you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteLiz, I thought you did a great job in Lab B. One thing that I notice when your teaching is that your always very comfortable talking. You speak very clearly in front of a class and you were very knowledgeable on the topic. One thing I noticed that you could work on would be projecting your voice louder. You spoke clear but no as loud. Other than that I thought you did great!
