Reflection
This lesson was at Ahmed Bin Zayed primary school where the lesson provided to students was a science
lesson in two classes , 1 D and 1C . The start was after students came in from another class, I asked them
to stand a little at the door, then I asked them to come on the carpet, starting from group 1 to group 5.
Next, I made the daily routine. Then I started introducing the hook and the introduction for around 15
minutes, the activities 15 minutes and finally 15 minutes for both the assessment and the conclusion .in
this reflection, there is an overview bout the lesson.
This lesson aimed at addressing a certain standard or LO s that was,” What are some types of animals?”
In this class, there were no special needs. However, I followed a strategy that helped me in catering
learning through following the theory of ,” Vygotsky” where he mentioned that each student has a
different level and as a teacher I followed his strategy and that was shown in that students had the ability
to answer the questions and even do the activities .I used both types of reinforcement according to
Skinner positive and negative reinforcement and that was shown in the strategy and method of using “
Class Dojo” for the students who gad bad behaviour , I took out points from class dojo and that method
was effective as when the student finds himself deprived from points, he tries to exert more efforts to
improve himself or herself such as participating more in class and doing the instructions provided to
them . In addition, at the end of the week, I give students who participate in class along the whole week
and do the actives, I gave them an appreciation certificate as being the star of the week and also take a
picture and to be sent to his or her mother in the class Dojo. Regarding the activities, I followed
Vygotsky’s theory in Scaffolding method through which, I gave students some activities and I guided
them through more support and let them to go ahead for high, mid and low levels.
The place of the lesson as a whole occurred in the class in two areas where that started with the carpet
where I explained to them , the introduction , checking their prior knowledge as I brought a box that
included some animals and gloves and let one of the students to stand up and put his hand in the box and
touch the animals without looking and here how does he or she feels inside the box and around half of
them said chocolate, other said toys .Then I asked them about “ KWL chart “ then asked them what they
know about animals, about camels , students answered .correctly and they showed their opinions about
that . The second place , the table where I put a picture for each group under the table and asked them to
look under the table and asked check and classify the picture in the correct place . Really, students needed
to know their background about animals and here they showed that they know more animals at some of
them are found on their farm. In fact, there was a connection between this lesson and the next one as this
one was about mammals, reptiles, birds and amphibians and the next one was about just only comparing
between mammals and birds. Surely, this lesson addressed the outcomes where the outcome was
concerning the types of animals and they managed to know it.
The lesson provided was for grade one 1C and 1D in the school and inside the classroom where my own
aim in this lesson was aiming to control time management by using a timer, controlling students
behaviour by using class dojo, engaging students by using box animals and increasing students
comprehension by using student’s attention. Besides, in order to achieve my aim in helping students to
learn, so I explained the activities step by step, provided some words on the board and translated in
Arabic and included some pictures.
The students were widely excited because, I used a box and gave them the chance to imagine what was
inside the box and the activities were hand one activities and when I put the pictures under the table, they
liked that a lot. Even that made students engaged with the lesson a lot and even made them connected and
remained on the task. Even in the assessment, I used Plickers games where that as their first time to do
and engaged as I could see which one made right or wrong and finally, I can see and check the results.
Students responded effectively because did the activities correctly and they understood the game well and
the results positive where some students got A and surely because I explained everything to them in steps.
Al what I gave to students is related to their prior knowledge as they have animals on their farms and even
such animals are found in the Zoo , and even at home there are some pets as well.

Students understood the lesson well and that because when I asked them in the assessment they responded
effectively and that is a proof for their understanding. My teaching goals were met as The main goals was
introducing some animals to students or making students identify the animals where that was connected
with students understanding and the assessment was “Plickers games “ . Everything was ok but what
my MCT gave me a comment where I should make the pictures bigger and one picture for each student in
the group and that will be followed in the next lessons .

In the furred I will give too much attention to some areas such as using a timer, hands one
activities, using the book less as they understand the lesson from their hands-on activities than
using the book and that all for enhancing the lesson for the future. In fact, I will develop the use
of class dojo and the hook to be more engaged and even using online games a lot .Academically,
I will have to improve my own pronunciation to be able to introduce my lesson affectingly .
