Recently I got the chance to conduct a demo to a group of teachers and officers from the State Education Department. It was a great experience and me and my team had fun! Fun was an understatement, in fact it was FANTASTIC!

Days prior to the workshop we prepared the lesson notes, teaching materials and classroom display. My class was an English class and we taught writing using adjectives. The most important part of the demo was the management of group work using I DO, WE DO and YOU DO technique. Below is my lesson notes for the demo. It does not state the level of the pupils because it was very general and if you are interested, you may modify the language content for your class.

Look forward to another session with the teachers...I hope to send someone to the reflection corner next time! Naughty me!!!

Arriving at the end of TnL carries the same weight as you are when starting the lesson. Notice on the effectiveness of a good closure can have in cementing what was learn and what is further expected from the learning. Teacher may use this feedback to evaluate their lesson during the reflection session by observing the good work they have done, the mistakes they would want to avoid in the future and the improvement they want to make.

A TnL must have some form of assessment in order to measure the success of our learning objective. Suggested here are oral and written assessment. To counter check, we are encourage to have both assessment in one TnL. Although for written assessment variation such as take home assignment are allowed nonetheless some issues of reliability must be addressed.

During a course for the new curriculum which I attended a few years back, the mentor asserted the importance of making an assessment qualifying for both validity and reliability criteria. She also adamant that assessment must incorporate i+1 in order for teacher to gauge their student's competency and thus preparing necessary measures for further improvement.

We had a plan. Refer to the last entry on planning a lesson. The next obvious step is to make the lesson a reality. Of course we will try to deliver it in the best way that we can.
