I found the sample lesson plan to be very well planned and
thought out will clear goals that the children should reach. I like the fact
that each child was a participant because it gives each of them a moment to
shine. Sometimes when teachers create projects for their students like this one
they drag them out too long and many of the students lose interest. This lesson
plan however, I felt was not too long or short. It would be too much to stuff
this into one single lesson, but it also did not take a half a year. Lastly, I think
it was a great idea that after the performance the children were asked to
reflect of their performance. It teaches children a valuable lesson that as
great as they thought they were there is usually room for growth to develop further
and perform better.
I also think that asking students to reflect on their performance is a powerful lesson for children. It tells them that they are always doing a great job but should always strive to do more!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Hi Shaindy!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that by keeping the activity interactive and exciting- and short, the students can remain focused throughout. I thought that the way she got this concept across was so clear that no more time was needed to work on it.
