±5 minutes____________________________________________________________________________________ReflectionIn assignment, we have to construct a lesson plan for two periods’ lesson.
REFLECTION:
This assignment required us to find out a suitable software or website to assist our students in reading, writing or speaking.In order to come out with a good lesson plan, we have to know how to estimate and manage time for certain tasks. Besides, it is important to relate our learning outcome with the tasks that we assigned to our students. Later from the tasks we will know whether the students achieved the learning outcome or not.
Moreover, at the beginning, we found that it was really difficult to find out a suitable software to assist the students. We have to be aware whether the website was used friendly or difficult to be accessed by our students.In this task, it was really important to consult with our lecturer more often. We have to make sure that the website chosen was interactive and interesting which will encourage the students to be active and participative in class.
From this assignment, we found that, it will help us in future, in order to be a good teacher or lecturer. Besides, we also noticed the importance of technology in helping the development in learning and teaching.
