Grade 8 History (28 February 2015)

Yesterday I was left to look after the grade 8 History class and I think I really enjoyed the lesson as we recapped on what had been discussed and learned in the past two lessons.

The boys were very cooperative and so I allowed for the lesson to a bit more fun, discussing the differences between the American Indians of the 1840s and our curret society.

The boys amazed me; in that they postulated really solid justifications of their observations and thoughts .

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.
