English class with Grade 8 (25 February 2015)

This particular lesson was very exciting, I actually felt like a grade 8 learner myself.  I learned a lot because I put myself in the same position as the learners and indulged in what the lesson had to offer.

I particularly liked the introduction of the topic ; parts of speech. In this lesson parts of speech were paralled to a very familiar and easy to understand concept for the boys.

It seems discussions and work supervision are the key aspects of learning management as they were a fundemental part of this English lesson.

This was more of a briefing and a breakdown of the structure of the LO subject for the year. The grade 12s were given precise detail on all the objectives as well as the main tasks of focus this year. An instructional teaching approach was used, as well as a questioning and discussion approach to pick up the prior knowledge of the learners regarding the structure and importance of LO in matric. Classroom management was subject to an automated reaction from the learners as a result of the appropriate voice projection of the teacher in which he achieved a sense of being in charge and respect through the way he spoke. The lesson was very informing and gave me some insight as to how the LO department has planned its way around its objectives for the year.
