Good Morning 7B!

How do I know all students have made progress?

-

Students should confidently be speaking about

their historical concept. If not, more revision is
needed. Make sure they have all their palm
cards done.

Differentiation:
Continuous learning students will be placed with extension students, these way C.L students can learn from higher
learners and how to collaborate effectively. I will also be repeating instructions and asking middle ability students to
repeat what they have to do. The instructions will also be written up in the book. Students can look off the example Ive
provided or use their books as a reference to help the group.

Reflection:
7B participated well in class today and my activity went really well. I need to focus on my effective classroom
communication skills. (3.5) This way I could manage 7Bs impulsivity. Because it was an activity they were louder than
normal. I incorporated a surprise element in the lesson; they had to pick randomly a topic and concept from two piles.
They really enjoyed this. Moreover, I managed to keep the lesson in the 50minuet time frame. Overall, I was proud of
this lesson and bonded with the students.
