Activity Two: Planning for/Developing Routines and Procedures

Plan the routines for one of your classes. The activity expects that you will teach the class. It
may be a class that you teach for an observation by your MST/MCT or just a practice class that
you teach with the permission of your MST. The lesson can be incorporated as one of your
formal observations if your MST/MCT decides. In order to complete the activity you are
required (whether the lesson is one of your formal observations or not) to fill in and submit the
planning sheet below.
Before you begin to complete the table talk a little bit about the class/lesson in which this plan
for routines is to be used. Include:
The routine is to show the students a video before the lesson.
• Lesson objectives
Identify the features and structure to the introduction of an explanation text.

• Main activities in the lesson

Matching activity
Searching for important points from texts.
Write an introduction to an explanation text.
• Grouping of students during each main activity
They sitting their normal seating.
• Behaviour expected during each activity (e.g. sharing resources; changing stations;
presenting)
The students should have shared answers in the activities since they were in pairs.
Class/Year grade 5

How well did this routine work in today’s class It worked very well in
my lessons

If you had to teach this class over, how would you adjust I would look for more
this routine and why better videos.

After the Task - Reflection

Choose 3 best practices you observed during your time in school. Reflect on these and consider
why you could implement these in a UAE primary classroom in the future. Explain how these
practices will affect student learning in a primary class.

1. The teacher gives the students questions on the board and they solve them by themselves.
If I use this the in lessons the students will be able to solve the question without much
trouble, they get used to solve question without the teacher help or instruction.
2. Story time the students sit in a side of the classroom and listen to a story from the teacher.
This is much better than letting the students listen to the story from their places. They can
see better listen better and give better answers to the question about the stoy.
